The fervor and rhetoric surrounding former Republican President Donald Trump have been building for a while now, but his latest rally hit a new and disturbing level of zeal.

At the "Save America" MAGA rally in Youngstown, Ohio, Trump was campaigning for himself—as always—and for Ohio Republican Senate candidate J.D. Vance.

Near the end of his speech, a song began to play in the background as Trump monologued a list of ways the country is supposedly going down the drain now he isn't President.

The song was identified by the New York Times as a near identical match for a song called "Wwg1wga"—an abbreviation for the QAnon slogan "Where we go one, we go all".

Trump's vaguely rhythmic monotone during this part of the speech, combined with the background music and the fact many people stood and raised an arm with one finger up while he spoke, led many to draw comparisons to cult leaders' speeches.

There is some disagreement online as to the origin of the gesture, which is new for these rallies, but many seem to agree it is also linked to either the QAnon conspiracy or the White nationalist and White supremacist slogan "America First."

Though many people also noted it's resemblance to a certain salute from 1940s Germany.

You can see footage of the moment below:


For anyone who isn't able to watch the videos, here's a still image to give you a bit of an idea of what the moment was like.

Many Twitter users commented on the very strong cult vibe from this latest rally.






While this is a new level of cult-like behavior at a Trump MAGA rally, it's also on brand.

It remains to be seen whether these more overt and seemingly intentional callouts to the QAnon conspiracy and White nationalism continue to be a theme.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
