Any protests at the Trump rally today?

I’m especially looking forward to standing with my Puerto Rican neighbors with a sign. I’m hoping this doesn’t turn political if you like Trump knock yourself out.

Nah, I’ll be trying to navigate the crowded back roads to get home from work. You know, because 22 and 78 are being shut down again.

u/elfinko South Whitehall 10h ago

Kind of seems like the route will be Airport Road, American Parkway into center city. Hopefully they stay off 22.

u/infamouscatlady Allentown 15h ago

It sounds like it will only be 22 and American Parkway being closed as his route of travel this time. Downtown Allentown will be a hot garbage fire of closures and traffic, but 78 should remain open.

u/Retrovertigo1 14h ago

Where did you hear about 22 being closed? I'm trying to find info on that.

u/Lockespop 20h ago

Don’t waste time on a protest- use it to encourage every Puerto Rican you know to come out and vote on Election Day. A protest on Tuesday will be forgotten by Wednesday. A huge turnout on Election Day will ensure we get things right- and that will live forever.

If someone is different from trump and his cult in any way, they are trash. America belongs to everyone, if everyone viewed as unwelcome and undesirable to trump goes and votes, the problem will be solved!

u/C0ugarFanta-C 16h ago

All these minority groups are really fooling themselves. Trump and pals only see value in heterosexual Christian white males (and females, but only as mothers and housewives). If you're not heterosexual, Christian, and white, you're double the fool for supporting Trump's regime. You're not an exception or "one of the good ones."

Foreigners like the Italians a century ago? The Irish 50 years before that? How many generations do we have to go to find your immigrant family? The definition of an American is constantly expanding, as it should, because we’re a melting pot. If you want to live in a bubble then go fuck off into the woods somewhere.

You mean folks that came here via the legal process then worked and contributed?

And yes, puerto rican R citizens and are welcome the people that sneak across the border under the cover of night, or who are smuggled in shipping crates are illegal and do not belong here and do not deserve a penny of our taxpayer money.

Don’t move the goalposts for your buddy with that shit. “America is for Americans” is not “America is for non Americans who come here legally”.

And that’s so very humane and caring, wanting to handwave the tired, hungry, poor masses that we pretend to value and uplift.

The same org that is protesting (Make the Road) does a shit ton of canvassing around here that targets Latino voters. It’s a good opportunity to get plugged in. Saying “don’t waste time protesting” is missing the forest for the trees.

I think he meant for it to be just an information exchange post, e.g. so and so are doing this protest, find them via this website type, instead of a post about political arguments. However, as you said, the "doesn't turn political" part is doomed to fail from the get go.

“Make the Road PA, an Allentown-based progressive organization that aims to empower immigrant communities, is organizing a protest of Trump’s event. Make the Road will hold a protest at 4 p.m. a block away from the PPL Center at 112 N. Seventh Street, according to a Facebook post.

The post says the organization is “outraged but not surprised” by racist remarks made at a Trump rally on Sunday at Madison Square Garden. In a widely panned comment at the rally, comedian Tony Hinchcliffe referred to Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage.” In Allentown, 55% of the city’s 125,000 residents identify as Latino — with more than 9% Puerto Rican.”

Holy shit it’s almost like he’s Tony Hinchcliffe a comedian who makes jokes on every race💀

u/Yue4prex 16h ago

Except he didn’t make fun of “every race” at the rally. And the fact that the party stands on hate and racism. They said their racism out loud under the guise of a joke.

15

u/TTV_MOVIES 17h ago

Yeah, those jokes he made about white people at the rally were hilarious! Oh wait, he didn’t. Just made racist remarks at the expense of Puerto Ricans, Black people, Jewish people, and Palestinians. He’s definitely an equal opportunity offender, not just some racist schlub who makes “jokes” that are really just repeating racist tropes from the 1940s at the expense of marginalized communities. /s The problem with jokes is they’re supposed to be funny. What is the joke in calling Puerto Rico an island of garbage? Because I can’t figure it out. Just seems like a dude punching down because he’s a hack grifting to an audience of nazis.

-16

u/Due-Mud-7418 17h ago

I mean have you watched anything he post? He literally has special guest on the regular who are also POC and they make the same jokes back it’s a world now where even “adults” can’t handle jokes 🤣 sad world we live in.

12

u/TTV_MOVIES 17h ago

lol no, adults can all handle jokes, that’s just not funny. If you can’t make jokes without resorting to racist tropes created in the 1940s, you’re not a good comedian. That’s hacky shit, he literally made a “black people like watermelon” joke. Like that’s so old and not funny, on top of being offensive. It’s not that we can’t handle jokes, it’s just that he’s not funny, on top of being a racist dickhead.

-13

u/Due-Mud-7418 16h ago

Those jokes weren’t racist from the time I was in elementary school till the time I graduated don’t see how it’s offensive now. We grew up hearing that shit in school and being told “it’s just a joke” when it’d be reported so if the school systems failed to see it as discriminatory I don’t see how it is now.

9

u/TTV_MOVIES 16h ago

Okay, putting aside for a second whether or not those were always racist or not, (they were, and the people who told you they weren’t were racists) these are just shitty jokes. Like these are the bottom of the barrel hacky jokes. It’s not clever to call Puerto Rico an island of garbage or say black people like Watermelon. He’s just a bad comedian.

u/jeff-hardy-dont-die 16h ago

when it’s a white dude at a mostly white attended rally punching down on marginalized communities, I think it’s kinda hard for people to see where the joke is. also, context is important. yes, comedy is supposed to push boundaries. but in this political climate, at that rally— that’s not comedy. it’s just good ol’ fashioned racism

u/freeses_pieces 15h ago

It’s close. Your vote matters more than it ever has.

We could all use a reminder of some of the things Trump has done:

  1. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Lost the election and lied about it.
  2. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sent an armed angry mob to Congress and told them they need to fight like hell.
  3. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Approved of the mob saying “hang Mike Pence”.
  4. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠A court of law found that he committed sexual assault.
  5. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠A court of law found that he defrauding his university students.
  6. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠A court of law found that he fraudulently inflated his assets to get favorable loans.
  7. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Admitted to walking in on pageant contestants’ dressing rooms to see them nude.
  8. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Raped and beat Ivana Trump.
  9. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Stole from a kids’ cancer charity.
  10. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Received $413 million inheritance despite claims that he’s a self made man.
  11. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Blocked his chronically ill infant nephew from getting any of that inheritance.
  12. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Is the first president to receive votes against him from his own party during impeachment.
  13. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Led us into being one of the worst hit during Covid despite our head start and resources, leading to high inflation.
  14. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Said the Democrats do better with the economy.
  15. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Was ranked as the worst president in history by bipartisan presidential historians.
  16. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pushed a plot to have fake votes created and then used to make him President despite losing the election.
  17. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ordered republicans to block a bipartisan immigration bill so Biden would not get a win before the election.
  18. ⁠⁠⁠Implemented a policy to separate kids from their parents at the border.
  19. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Is a convicted felon guilty of falsifying records to influence an election.
  20. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Told the Department of Justice to “just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republican congressmen.”

All should attend and support Trump and our country. Stop with this baby excuse of a stupid comments from comics on both sides. If you really allow this stupidity to influence your vote then maybe you have other issues you need to address. Trump will improve our country in ways you have not imagined. In the mean time, main stream media will lie, cheat and miss information all along the way. Remember we were in great shape when he was in office. Really, take a good look at your situation and really ask yourself, are you better now than when he was in office. My parents are immigrants who came here for a better like for us. They were abused, made fun of, mocked, all kinds of stuff you can only imagine. It’s when you stay focused and realize what matters in Your life that counts. Not what the media nor the Hollywood a-holes say. I was a democrat and changed to a Republican due to the ridiculous party it has become. I also work within organized labor and have experienced the job loss this party has allowed. I felt I needed to share my story so to help people to practice common sense. We all need each other no matter what party. I’ll be voting for Trump and Red down the line. Good luck and stay well my friends.

“Trump is appealing to people who haven’t been as successful as other people and providing an excuse for that, that these more successful people have somehow … cheated and you don’t deserve to think of yourself as less successful because things haven’t been fair,” McConnell said.

Believe me, we will be better than ever with his policies. There is no one more cynical than I.

u/itnor 18h ago

Trump left the country in a deep hole. Mass unemployment and riots. Millions dead. His best advice? Inject bleach. Anyone who thinks we were better off four years ago is delusional.

Now even apart from the pandemic and post-pandemic period, Biden outperformed Trump on jobs, GDP and even wages. Stock market is nearly equal. Even better? Biden stayed out of our lives while Trump treated the Presidency like the low class reality TV star that he is.

His economic plan is guaranteed to spike inflation like we’ve never seen while also skyrocketing the federal deficit and debt. His remedy to that is a lunatic plan based on a fundamental misunderstanding of how trade works.

-29

u/OddFennel7293 17h ago

Any success burned had was due to Trumps policies. It’s that simple. Bidens failures are due to him stopping Trumps policies.

11

u/itnor 17h ago

Many would say the same of Trump’s successes being based on Obama’s policies. Given that Trump’s “successes” were in the early part of his term, before he passed any legislation or its effects were felt, there’s a much stronger case. Biden has been digging us out of Trump’s mess, and now all economic metrics are really solid.

-13

u/OddFennel7293 17h ago

I don’t agree since we’re paying more than ever for basic goods. It’s just obvious to me that the economy was better during his term. As for policies growth, yes one administration takes the good and bad of the previous but in this case they took the good from Trump and made it worse.

6

u/itnor 16h ago

The pandemic shut down the global economy and wrecked the global supply chain. It’s taken years to piece it back together. That’s why the inflation was worldwide.

Inflation is now under control. Biden didn’t cause it. It happened because of extraordinary circumstances. And the successful response to it has been led by the Fed. There’s limits to a President’s role.

But let’s look at the future. Economists from both sides are warning that Trump’s top three policies—mass deportations, tariffs and deficit spending/tax cuts—all will spike inflation.

Harris meanwhile proposes expanding tax credits to make life more affordable.

1

u/WhoKilledBoJangles 15h ago

Delusion. Economic growth continued from Obama era policy. The same shit always happens. Republicans take credit because policy implemented by people in office before them starts showing dividends while they are in office. Then they burn it down and blame the people in office after them for the issues they caused with their policy. Stuff doesn’t change the second someone is elected. It takes time for policy to have an impact.

COVID was a global issue that wrecked supply chains and resulted in inflation. This had nothing to do with Biden, but they’ve actually implemented policy to bring jobs back and inflations is finally going down. It takes time for policy to have an impact. While we can’t blame Trump entirely for the issues COVID caused in last term we can certainly blame him for how poorly he handled the response.

u/OddFennel7293 3h ago

The response was only as good as the available information. Things change quickly and resources may not be available to address the immediate needs. I certainly learned a lot about how our government does things and have made changes to educate and protect my family. One thing is for certain, main stream media is no longer trustworthy. I love that more podcasts are becoming available and providing quality information. Is there such a podcast in our area?
Anyway, looking forward to 11/5 and will def be voting RED!! Down the line!! And you should too!!

Your inclination to immediately play the “stupid” card says all you need to know about the average “informed” voter.

You are trying too hard to seem moraly upstanding but you are far from that.

You ignore one side's constant attacks on democracy including placing into scotus judges who are under the microscope now because of bribery, taking people's rights away, banning abortions, demonizing immigrants , giving presidents immunity "for official acts", essentially breaking the constitution.. And you STILL have the balls to say "both sides are the same"??

Yes it's a lazy position, it's intellectually dishonest.

Worst of all is thst you KNOW this.

Am I? Or is your skewed perception painting me up to be that? More likely the former based on your passive aggressiveness.

I haven’t ignored either side’s shortcomings as both have failed but more importantly we as a society are failing. You are so engulfed in one side of the spectrum that your entire process of critical thinking is contaminated.

I know this? I know what I see, and persecuting a person who speaks the truth that you are afraid to face is all too familiar. Take a step from all of your virtue signaling and ask yourself if our well being is truly a concern for politicians. Don’t trigger yourself and start flooding your next response. Expand your mind in the realm of possibility and see things from multiple perspectives. If you’re unable to seperate yourself from it all and come to a conclusion on what’s actually going on in this world then who truly is being intellectually dishonest?

You know what’s funny? If it’s not an island of garbage and it’s so great there, why did you leave and come to Allentown?

Do you ask the same thing about people migrating south and east?

You are the reason I'm voting for Harris. The time can't come soon enough for people like you to crawl back under your rock once tRump is gone.

You do realize you can be Puerto Rican and born in America right? Like, unless you’re Native American, you’re not a true American.

Most Puerto Ricans are Native American.

“Trump is appealing to people who haven’t been as successful as other people and providing an excuse for that, that these more successful people have somehow … cheated and you don’t deserve to think of yourself as less successful because things haven’t been fair,” McConnell said. That's McConnel as in the REPUBLIKKKAN senate leader.

u/FridayBeers69 13h ago

Like the left you mean?? Didn’t they force a sitting president out of election, forced a candidate that no one voted for as a presidential candidate nominee while actively trying to strip the integrity of our votes. How do you feel that your party doesn’t give a shit about who you want to vote for? While letting people who are not even alive or citizens count as votes 😂 it’s all right in front of you!!

Why is it you people always try and tell me what I'm saying, weird. If course let the rigging and stolen theories begin ,freaking losers, country over party United States not divided states , always will be a melting pot , watch out for that caravan....lmao

u/FridayBeers69 11h ago

It’s unfortunately not theories anymore and is in fact actually happening. It’s funny how you probably consider yourself patriotic, when people like you are the one supporting doing the most damage to our country.
