    Oh that’s another thing. I’m Jewish. A huge amount of the people most vocal about fighting facism expressed support for Hamas (not Palestine) after October 7th. Hamas is a totalitarian regime with the explicit goal of wiping out Jews worldwide. In areas with strong progressive local governance, violence against Jews has been handwaved away.

    I would not want to do any sort of fighting alongside those people. They scare me.

      Lol, go through my comment history. I have often been accused of being an Israeli intelligence agent by people here.

        That’s great, but the woman who testified before my city council that the women raped by Hamas were lying bigots leveraging #whitewomantears got the cheers of many progressive leaders in the audience. These same groups participated in regular “pro Palestinian” protests where phrases like “globalize the intifadah” and “Houthi freedom fighters were thrown around”

            Again, I don’t. I am not voting for Trump. I just think it says a lot that Democrats choose to attack him on his lack of social conformity vs all the other almost objectively awful things about him.

            As I keep repeating. I am not voting for Trump. I’m just going to stay home.
