I am sure that he has a plan to "protect" the Jews that voted for him, perhaps by distributing arm bands to Jewish voters so the Gravy Seals can identify "friendlies". A nice gold star of David for Trump Jews, and maybe a blue one for the rest of us. Tell me he isn't going to do this.
@MPCavalier What I am hearing is "Jewish people can help save America from Trump".
@AskTheDevil
Let's just hope that when we do, America will pay back the favor and save us from him.
@MPCavalier I'm on board.
What I hear is "Trump, if he loses, will make Jews the scapegoats, and villify them to his base, kicking off an American era where the Nazi infestation is no longer hidden or underground."
@Heucuva8
Well, they already march out in the open with zero pushback from authorities because of 1A. I mean - they are pretty much loud and proud right now. What WILL happen is that attacks on synagogues and jewish households will increase many fold.
@Heucuva8 @AskTheDevil @MPCavalier
News flash, the hate is already no longer hidden. It came out of hiding in 2015.
No, the OBVIOUS Hate came out of hiding. The real Hate, the insidious kind, is still underground.
We all know about the redneck with the Back the Blue and Calvin pissing on DEI stickers. We even see the Uncle at family gatherings who gets drunk and swears about "then Damn Illegals".
But we don't recognize the ones who fan those flames. People like Trump draw all the Aggro.
@Heucuva8 @AskTheDevil @MPCavalier
What about the tiki torch boys in Charlottesville, synagogue shootings, church shootings, etc? Or are you referring to the people who instigate THOSE people?
Good question. Some of those people ARE the instigators, but yes those people too. The religious building shooters have always existed, ever since guns. And church burning is practically a competitive sport in parts of the South.
We're starting to see the Racism that's hidden in plain sight. In people who we'd otherwise regarded as "fine, ordinary people".
@Heucuva8 @AskTheDevil @MPCavalier
Iβve seen that my whole life. This is a racist country. Itβs been much more out in the open since the orange menace was in the WH. Iβve noticed a lot more of the same, βIβll say this horrible thing because weβre all white here and that must mean we have the same beliefs.β Smacking that crap down and how to best smack it down is a topic of discussion amongst my friends.
It can always get worse.

No more looking away. Heard the N word all the time growing up. Confronted my father repeatedly.
Now I openly challenge the many permutations in white conversations & jokes.
That's what it means to be an Ally. It's no longer enough anymore to just "not be racist". It's now required to be actively Anti-Racist. Otherwise, you're part of the problem. π€·π»ββοΈ
@Heucuva8 @LnzyHou @Watercolorstain @MPCavalier
Not much of an ally if you're not in the fight.
The fight against racism is everyone's fight, whether they know it or not.
@Heucuva8 @MPCavalier That, too.
@Heucuva8 @AskTheDevil @MPCavalier
That could happen, because there is antisemitism on the right. They hate Muslims more than they hate Jews, that's all. There is also antisemitism on the left, make no doubt about it. But yes, this could make a simmering problem even worse. I hope it doesn't, but I see how it could.
@janallmac @Heucuva8 @AskTheDevil
Sorry to inject a little dark humor into this (that's what my people do, no?) but I can think of several Jews I would like to see expelled from this country. Miriam Adelson, Jared Kushner, Stephen Miller, Ben Shapiro, Laura Loomer for starters. "First they came for the self-hating socially destructive Jews and I said nothing because fuck them."
@MPCavalier @Heucuva8 @AskTheDevil
I just really don't like any bit of it at all. I wish we could leave people alone and let them worship as they please, and not turn into some form of Nazis or theocracy at all. π
@janallmac @MPCavalier @Heucuva8
I sometimes feel trapped as an adult passenger in a car.
The car is being driven by a foul-mouthed parent waving a pistol and a liquor bottle, smoking a cigarette. They are not paying attention to the road. They're on the phone.
The kids are screaming in the back seat:
"He won't stay on his side! She keeps touching me! I got exploded with a bomb! Bobby won't stop stealing my meth! Chadworth says all the petroleum is his and won't let us have any!"
Cripes.
@MPCavalier "Trump has rejected all accusations of anti-Semitism, noting during his speeches on Thursday that he has a Jewish son-in-law."
I highly doubt that was a choice Donnie himself made, though.
