This is for you and Maroon and any other leftist reading this:

As someone of Jewish heritage, you are repeating propaganda like good little lemmings and I’m really getting sick of people throwing the word around like it doesn’t matter. There are real threats to the Jewish people and they definitely aren’t Elon Musk or Donald Trump. Musk may be ignorant sometimes, but the guy is willing to learn. He’s far far far from anti-Semitic. I cannot say the same for the Democrat Party - the people perpetuating this bullshit. I left that cesspool of low key anti-Semites a couple of decades ago and I’m never going back. Every time I think they’ve made some ground in moving away from it, I get reminded just how interwoven it is in their supporters and leadership. The gullible may not recognize it, but those who’ve been around the block see it for what it is. 

At least with a far right winger they don’t hide it and I know where I stand. Not the left though. Leftists are very good at convincing each other and the gullible that they are the good guys. 

I just got reminded why I quit coming here last time. The politics are never far away. I think I made it a whole two days this time without the “NAZI” label coming out. 

If you understand one single thing from what I’ve written: STOP calling people you don’t like or don’t agree with NAZI’s.

Our household is 1/2 Christian, 1/2 Jewish...Context

When I was still working full time, there were some co-workers who were just right of center from me...We gave each other s hit about our politics, but it never became personal. Even in these ugly, divisive times. 

Gaza and the terrorist attacks in Israel really sent some of them off. They were/are more pro Israel than me (I cant stand Bibi). Their adoration was I thought admirable. Until I realized it was being driven by Christian Nationalism and Muslim distrust/hate. 

My only point in bringing in all of this is that the world is quick to label left or right, woke, asleep, bad/good. Truth is there are shades of bad in both. 

Compromise has become a "dirty word" unfortunately. 

I dont want someone stuffing their take on the bible down my throat or inserting their personal christian dogma into my schools as much as anyone on the left telling me everything Trump does is dumb and hateful.
