The GOP’s Surrender to the Antisemites
September 13, 2022 at 10:30 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

Jonathan Chait: “Trump’s rise has reshaped the GOP, driving out some of its constituent elements while bringing in previously excluded factions, the ranks of which include virulent antisemites. The lessons of Hitler’s Germany have been badly overapplied, so it is important to contextualize these events carefully.”

“The GOP may not be an antisemitic party. Indeed, it has managed to maintain a big tent that includes both Jewish ultrahawks like Miriam Adelson and their most paranoid enemies. Nevertheless, it has become a party in which antisemitism has gained a foothold. No recent development in American life has done more to throw American Jews’ safety and civic equality into doubt.”

1. Must be hard on his Jewish son in law

Nah, Jared doesn't care anything about that!

2. My sister and brother in law are Jewish

And they spout every right wing, Trump loving, talking point that is on the web.

I avoid them because of it. I don't think they fully understand how much Trump and his minions are Nazis. Her husband has relatives who were in the concentration camps. I never understood their support of all thing right wing. It's almost like self loathing.

3. They even lie when pointing out the truth!

They ARE antisemitic, along with racist, bigoted, misogynistic ...the list goes on forever. These negative traits make up the majority of their base!

It's all about obtaining and holding onto power at any cost, with zero fucks given about the aftermath.
