Why are all the photos from this event in black and white?

[-] Arbiter@lemmy.world 53 points 1 month ago

Trump has never had a crowd that large.

Color film was not as widespread and more expensive. This is not a case like the MLK photographs which were digitally altered to be black and white to make school children believe it happened a longer time ago

I was actually making a joke about conflating the two fascist rallies at Madison Square Garden, but thanks! That's an interesting point about how MLK photos have been presented. Propaganda can be very subtle.

Ah I gotcha, there’s some good color restoration film of this even if you can find it. I remember distinctly it being in a history documentary I found and then saw again on YouTube about the German American Bund.

I can’t believe these rubes follow Trump who is such a little whiny effeminate bitch in his girdle and heavy makeup 💄

It’s gender-affirming care.

What's that adage about nine people sitting at a table with one Nazi?

[-] lobut@lemmy.ca 41 points 1 month ago

That they all go back home and do a podcast about how the left wing and Democrats are the real enemy but they're definitely not Nazis though.

Ah the Daily Wire special!

Madison Square Garden is going to stink like shit tonight.

[-] EleventhHour@lemmy.world -3 points 1 month ago

Clearly, you’ve never had the pleasure of going there.

[-] EatATaco@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

I've been to msg hundreds of times over the past 30 years and can't remember a time that I noted it smelled bad. Like weed, definitely, but not bad.

[-] frunch@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Have you? I've been there numerous times and can't ever recall the smells to be anything worse than any other public arena

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
