elderly fascist golfer calls violent moron who attacked press ‘beautiful’ and ‘on our side’

and we need to talk about “sundown towns”

at every one of Donny Convict’s hate-rallies, during the part devoted to the Airing of Grievances, there’s a lovely moment where Donny turns his attention to the press. he’ll gesture towards the area where reporters are barricaded for their own protection, and he’ll start yammering about the fake news media is the enemy of the people so unfair the things they say about me so unfair.

Donny’s unhinged worshipers — veins popping in anger — will turn to the press, and start screaming at them, shaking their fists and giving them the finger. it’s Orwell’s Two Minutes Hate brought to life. Donny encourages this behavior — fascists gonna fascist, after all — and eggs his cultists on. so it’s totally unsurprising that during a hate-rally on Friday, some fuckface decided that shouting and gesturing wasn’t enough, and jumped the barricades in an effort to physically confront the press.

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (AP) — Police said Saturday that a man will face misdemeanor charges after he stormed into the press area at Donald Trump’s rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, before being surrounded by authorities and eventually subdued with a Taser as the former president spoke at the campaign stop.

The incident Friday came moments after Trump had criticized major media outlets for what he said was unfavorable coverage and had dismissed CNN as fawning for its interview Thursday with his Democratic rival Kamala Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz.

now feast your eyes at this stunning bit of denial on the part of the AP.

It was not immediately clear what motivated the man or whether he was a Trump supporter or critic.

are you fucking kidding me, AP? what in the hallowed name of Stockholm Syndrome Jesus is this big bowl of horse shit? we don’t know what motivated the man? yes we absolutely do know — you just told us: “The incident Friday came moments after Trump had criticized major media outlets.”

cause and effect, ever hear of it?

why is the press continuing to give the fascist leader of a violent mob every benefit of the doubt and whitewashing his lawless behavior?

but here’s the beauty part: during this psychotic moron’s scuffle with the police and his subsequent arrest, Donny took time out to defend the guy, and compliment him on his excellent life choices.

“beautiful. that’s beautiful. that’s all right. that’s ok. no, he’s on our side. [giggles] we get a little itchy, don’t we? no, no, he’s on our side.”

this fucking psychopath thinks it’s hilarious. he thinks it’s super fucking awesome that he goaded some dolt into attacking reporters.

Donny then goes on to tell this weird-ass story:

“in Butler, an amazing thing happened. there were two American flags very far apart, held up I think by different [unintelligible], they were very big flags, beautiful flags, and they were waving, and as that horrible event was taking place, the wind blew the flags together and they formed a perfect angel.”

again with this overgrown toddler’s limited vocabulary. the flags were big and beautiful. I’m fucking shocked Donny didn’t claim the flags had tears in their eyes as they said said sir! sir! we’re so happy to wave for you. watch us form an angel, sir!

this flags became angels fever dream is now MAGA gospel — these dipshits believe that God himself personally intervened to save Dear Leader’s life, and the angel-flag is their proof. and right at the center of this fantasy is Marjorie Spork Toes Green, who was the first to tell this story, a couple of days after Donny got his magically-regrown ear all shot to pieces.

“I believe we all witnessed a miracle, literally. y’know, before it happened, the flag above got blown in the wind and it got tied into what literally looked like an angel. did you see that video? oh my god, you have to find that. it was truly— it was like an angel coming down, it was the American flag tied. they had to bring it down and all the people in the stands helped unravel it. it was literally before he came out on the stage.”

yeah, no, Marge. I’m pretty sure that God isn’t using flags to do angel origami. as I wrote at the time:

hey, all you god-mad dipshits insisting that God saved Dear Leader’s life, can we talk? consider this: there were so many better ways that God could have intervened than to have bent the path of the bullet so that it instead buried itself into the skull of some innocent bystander. he could have caused the AR-15 to jam — or he could have put happier thoughts into the head of dweeby incel Matthew Thomas Crooks, so that instead of committing gun mayhem, he went a pet store and bought some bunnies.

so now this barricade-jumper is facing charges. hey, maybe Donny will visit him and stand outside the courthouse for a thumbs-up photo up with that idiotic grin plastered across his face.

nah, fat chance. Donny’s already forgotten this guy exists. another cultist destroys his own life in the service of a sociopath who could give a shit what happens to him.

so sad.

now we need to talk about the locations of Trump’s latest hate-rallies, and we need to talk about sundown towns, that awesome slice of overt racism from America’s recent past.

sundown town, in U.S. history, a town that excluded nonwhite people—most frequently African Americans—from remaining in town after sunset. More generally, sundown town is used to describe a place where the resident population was through deliberate action made to be overwhelmingly composed of white people.

“deliberate action” is a charming euphemism, isn’t it? the quote-unquote “action” could be anything from discriminatory housing polities to out-and-out lynching.

The term sundown town originated in the numerous signs that were posted at the limits of such towns warning African Americans: “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on You in ____.”

sundown towns flourished across America from right after the Civil War until 1968, when the signing of the Fair Housing Act made such fuckery illegal.

Donny knows all about the Fair Housing Act. Donny and his tyrant Klansman father were in violation of the Act when they were sued by the federal government in 1973 for refusing to rent any of their crappy apartments to Black people.

Barack Obama strengthened the Fair Housing Act with additional legislation passed in 2015, so of course Donny had to undo that shit once he took power.

resentment over the Fair Housing Act still festers in these former sundown towns, because of course it does. this is America, where racism is never more than inch away from anything.

some dude on Tik Tok whose handle is speakthetruth101 noticed something very fucked up about the locations of Trump’s most-recent hate-rallies: they’re all sundown towns.

“so I’ve been noticing a troubling pattern. where Donald Trump has been holding his rallies the last few weeks has been egregious. Howell, Michigan. Lacrosse, Wisconsin. Johnstown, Pennsylvania — now what do these places have in common? they’re all sundown towns. this is where Donald Trump is choosing to hold his rallies. sundown towns. they want to go back to fuckin’ Dred Scott. make America great again. when was America ever great? you got a presidential candidate for the GOP doing a sundown town tour around the country. not looking for political gain. he’s fuckin’ rallying the troops. these crybaby bitches want nothing but a civil war again. make no mistake about it, folks, this is a real threat. these motherfuckers are domestic terrorists and they need to be treated accordingly.”

the guy’s not wrong.
