    I know we were all really enjoying bashing leftists for being anti-semitic when they have the nerve to protest the Palestinian Genocide but The Republican Party is genuinely extremely anti-semitic and becoming more so at a terrifying velocity.

    It should scare everyone how openly the Republican Party is flirting with true genuine anti-semitism, whether you are jewish or not, this is a matter of accelerating dehumanization and skapegoating.

    I also want to take this time to tell centrists who sat by and watched this happen while hyperfocusing only at screaming at leftists to shut up, stop being anti-semitic and take the conversation elsewhere, fuck you.

    Also…

    I was, like many people then, a resolute ticket-splitter, voting often for local Democrats but always for Republican presidents, because I believed the national GOP was a moderate institution. Ronald Reagan, for example, disappointed the far right and his evangelical base by reducing nuclear weapons, leaving abortion rights largely untouched, and granting mass amnesty to undocumented immigrants (something I objected to at the time).

    AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
