Kamala Harris will campaign in the Lone Star State, not because she expects to win Texas, but because she wants to shine a light on Texas’ abortion ban.

For the curious, this ~~"Pro American Rally"~~ Nazi rally occurred in 1939

At Madison Square Garden, the rally opened with the Pledge of Allegiance to the American flag. The mood was jubilant. Attendees wore Nazi armbands, waved American flags and held aloft posters with slogans like "Stop Jewish Domination of Christian America." There were storm troopers in the aisles, their uniforms almost identical to those of Nazi Germany. "It looked like any political rally — only with a Nazi twist," said Arnie Bernstein, author of Swastika Nation.

The speeches were explicitly anti-Semitic, and tirades against "job-taking Jewish refugees" were met with thunderous applause. "They demanded a white gentile America. They denounced Roosevelt as 'Rosenfeld,' to say that Roosevelt was in the pocket of rich Jews," said Sarah Churchwell, author of Behold, America. In equal measure to the xenophobia, the speeches were loaded with American boosterism.

Sound familiar?

The real reason conservatives love Israel so much, is that they want somewhere to ship all the Jews in America off to.

Bible literalists also believe that a huge war in Israel is a prerequisite to the second coming of Christ AKA the end times.

Oh, so that's why Israel decided to attack Palestine, Lebanon and Syria all at once.

Pretty sure Israel was attacked by Iranian proxies in those countries. But I'm sure there was a lot of revisionist history going on at that rally in Madison Square Gardens in 1939 too.
