Pete Hegseth gave a speech in front of a backdrop that almost perfectly matches Nazi imagery. Meanwhile, Trump calls opponents “vermin” who he will “root out,” and says the blood of our country is being poisoned. We are far past left vs right. Our choice is democracy or fascism.

Donald is so stupid he doesn't get the inconsistency between (1) claiming there were no empty seats; and (2) trying to explain away empty seats by claiming that people "migrated down." Because if there was room to accommodate all those migrating people, there was a lot of empty space in the venue.
