The woke will go down harder than the unwoke. Because some of the unwoke will have each other's backs. But the woke will tear each other limb from limb. Eventually they came for Robespierre too. And the monster always returns to the castle.

@BriannaWu There is nothing in this world that's easier to understand than a straight man.

@Heminator I don't think he would lie to me, especially after the @jonfavs and @RoKhanna vouched for him.
I have to mention that this is sarcasm, don't I

At this point the only thing that could hurt Platner with progressives is if it came out that he has a Star of David tattoo

@JillFilipovic It's hard to believe you're real.

@LeahLibresco "not wanting their legacy to be sullied." You can call one of the characters Sullied. And the other one Muldered.

@KyleKulinski I believe you

@TheAmishDude @feelsdesperate I don't think that's quite the case. I think the Obamas were planning a different candidate, probably Michelle, but when the Bidens were surprised by whoever had him resign they retaliated by endorsing Kamala and getting the ducks in a row for her.

@emzanotti @MrsErikaKirk They can't think about Joos all the time

@bethanyshondark This is also how I feel about people who tell Israel how to fight wars. This concept is true about so many things, but parenthood is one of the few where people learn this by first-hand experience.

@SethDillon I wonder if they play that game about anything else

[Gil Reich @GilR]

Dara Horn chose the perfect title, but I think it's a little more complicated. Many people want their Jews some combination of demonized, defenseless, and / or dead. I think her best line was that Anne Frank is everyone's second favorite dead Jew. Somehow many people need us to be a perfect, innoncent sacrificial lamb - or be demonized for not being that.

@DavidRutz Have @RadioFreeTom and @TheAtlantic figured out who killed expertise yet?

@bullis_gra26131 @SandraCravens5 @hughhewitt @AmitSegal A third thing is self-selection. Nationalist Jews came to Israel. Cosmopolitan Jews were more likely to go to the US. American Jews like myself who became nationalist moved to Israel.

[Gil Reich @GilR]

I'll mention two things:

1. Amit's comment is specifically true about policies related to Israel. Conquest's First Law is "Everyone is conservative about what they know best." Israeli Jews are more conservative (and more correct) about Israel policies than naive virtue-signaling people thousands of miles away. Also American Jews often vote largely on domestic concerns, while Israelis evaluate an American president primarily by their feelings and policies related to Israel.

2. American Jews' American experiences taught them that being kind and generous would get you treated with kindness and generosity. Israelis' experiences taught them to recognize the times when it's the opposite.

[Gil Reich @GilR]

@SandraCravens5 @hughhewitt @AmitSegal American Jews and Israelis are very different

Talarico is much more offensive than someone who just disdains Christianity entirely.
