"seems like to many people, the far left is painting a target on their back and the Dem Party is, at best, completely indifferent"

Yes, people have been saying that for years. Dems have been loathe to call out BLM, metoo, trans activists, etc

This why MAGA won twice

A quick story. People probably don't remember it (given all the insane news every day) but a few months ago a judge on the PA Supreme Court announced he was leaving the party and becoming an Independent.

One of our good family friends is friends with him. And they talked after his decision. What caused him to finally leave? Our friend was pretty shocked to hear that it was the Maine senate race.

Running a candidate (Graham Platner) with a literal Nazi death tattoo and having the rest of the party just act like it was totally cool and acceptable for someone running for office to have. That was the last straw for him.

Anyway, a lot of Jews (many of whom don't consider themselves as 'pro-Israel' or at least have that as their main cause) have taken notice of it. Of the rhetoric of candidates (like blaming Israel and AIPAC for literally everything). Of the viciousness of the 'protesters' and how many of them sound identical to Neo-Nazis. And how the Dem party has seemingly welcomed them into the fold.

Jews have traditionally been one of the most loyal group of Democrats and it just seems like to many people, the far left is painting a target on their back and the Dem Party is, at best, completely indifferent.

@st_noah_of_arc I remember when people thought this about "MILF" in American Pie

Nah kids, I saw American Pie in the theater and we all laughed that that word would be in a movie, but we had definitely already used it

@AliaGvR But when progressives do this about homeless shit, we're supposed to listen? What's different?

[Ray Barstow @RayBarstownDC]

@cssavedme Upper class people are, too. What do you mean I have to look at homeless people harass people on the metro? I pay taxes for cops to come and beat the fuck out of them until they behave

[Ray Barstow @RayBarstownDC]

@cssavedme You provide services for the taxes, services that people see and appreciate

@arifromdablock You're too weak

Doctors of Reddit treating trans just like any other religion & simply nodding along because it makes patients feel better to be part of a community with a set of non-falsifiable metaphysical beliefs - trans, Mormon, pastafarian, etc - isn't what I expected, but I'll take it.🤷🏾‍♀️

@mishkas_mir @MashaSchulmann It's good to kill your enemies. It's embarassing to be unable to

[Ray Barstow @RayBarstownDC]

@nothingspoke @mollytaft I've told you countless times: it's weird and performative

@Ronrosco2 If this is a grift, aren't most social programs?

@Jevaughn_Brown As a white person of Appalachian origin, I have striven to avoid doing anything associated with hillbilly stereotypes. And I only wish that members of other groups would be so mindful.

[memetic_sisyphus @memeticsisyphus]

Progressives have almost no belief they wouldn’t immediately do a 180 on if it became popular. They have no solid principles to protect them from these kinds of swings. Guys who would go apoplectic if they saw the ((())) symbol, or call you a Nazi if you said you watched The Blaze, are full face reveal video posting about how Jewish religious decorations are hate symbols because it became popular to say in their circles.

Of course their belief system is full of ridiculous impossible things. The trans stuff isn’t that important in the grand scheme of things, but it is demonstrative of their ability to internalize beliefs that have no bearing on reality. Once you get to that level on anything, you’re opened up to believing pretty much anything no matter how contradictory it is with prior beliefs. They have no defense for this. They’re swept up in whatever terrible group idea is in the water.

That’s how you get videos of progressives calling menorahs being sold for hanukkah nazi symbols.

@oomflover64 Losers can't pay a fare

Like...by definition

[Ray Barstow @RayBarstownDC]

@nothingspoke @mollytaft That your constructivist approach is only interesting to people in that mindset

"Hey dude, the president asked what the definition of 'is' is, isn't that deep?!?!"

[Ray Barstow @RayBarstownDC]

@DBZYuYuYasha @jimmygandhi Makes you wonder why the news would do that. Of course, when you realize that most journalists are to the left of the average staunch democratic voter- to say nothing moderates or republican voters- it starts making sense
