Might be useful to remember that Miller was previously caught in leaked emails urging people to read “The Camp of Saints,” which is basically “The Turner Diaries” for the racist anti-immigrant right. Miller is a certified eugenicist piece of shit & his views are now mainstream Republican politics.

Miller presence aligns this entire procession with ideals firmly held by what used to be a fringe neo-Nazi element within the GOP. This is a Nazi rally.

They are staging a fascist rally in Madison Square Garden. This is not a drill. Do not sit out this election. The result of the election is absolutely consequential and will affect so many lives for generations.

USA Today headline doesn't reflect how racist this rally is. (Bluesky comment)
Could someone face consequences? (Bluesky comment)
One of the speakers, an apparently white man named David Rem, was arrested 33 years ago for riding a train with a suitcase with 40 pounds of cocaine, to which he pled guilty and for which he was sentenced to 12 years in prison. He claimed to be Trump's childhood friend; it seems he is not, but that doesn't stop the Trump campaign from lying about the friendship too. See:

The best take I've seen on Trump's Nazi rally is that it wasn't intended to win anyone's vote but was an attempt by a candidate who knows he will lose to marshall his base for insurrection and violence. www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...

Regarding what was said about Puerto Rico:
This “Island of Garbage” comment isn’t an isolated incident, and it goes beyond simple racism. Trump’s circle inherently does not consider islanders, those living outside the US Mainland, as real people. Anyone from Puerto Rico, Hawaii or US Pacific Island territories has seen this over and over.
— Robert Rath (@robertrath.bsky.social) October 28, 2024 at 9:25 PM
Note that in the very same rally, Tucker Carlson called Kamala Harris “Samoan-Malaysian.” That’s bizarre until you remember that American Samoa is—like Puerto Rico—a US territory. Many on the right fundamentally believe islanders, even in the State of Hawaii, aren’t “real” Americans.

A.R. Moxon:
...a speaker who I suppose we must refer to as a 'comedian' referred to Puerto Rico as "a floating island of garbage."
This was, in the eyes of those who control the platforms of communication, and in the halls of power, and in the minds of many comfortable and privileged people, beyond the pale in a way that none of the other things I listed apparently were. I find it interesting to ponder why. You might think that it was seen as beyond the pale because it was racist, but the entire Trump movement has been drenched in the most blatant racism from its inception. You might think that it was seen as offensive because Puerto Rico is a part of the United States, but everyone who was attacked from that stage represents some part of the United States. I think it was seen as offensive because there are a lot of voting Puerto Rican citizens living in swing states, so this particular instance of racist hate disrupted the one thing the press actually seems to think matters: the horse race of the election. It's not that it was racist or hateful or prefigured violence and death for real people—these sort of things are just business as usual—no, it's that it might actually swing the race, which means it was a gaffe.
All over the place, Republicans and journalists scrambled to walk it back and restore balance to the Force. When a Democrat makes a gaffe, the thing to do is report on it for several weeks in massive fonts. When a Republican makes a gaffe, the thing to do is to find a Democratic gaffe to counter it, and if one can't be procured, to make one up."
