Descends into?
Are you sure they weren't there all along?
Indeed. We need a new version of Godwin's law. Something like
The odds of xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, or antisemitism appearing in a conversation is directly proportional to the number of conservatives participating in that conversation.
Hence forth this will be known as “Billiams law”
Idk about you guys but I hate Nazis more than I hate illegal immigrants.
Hopefully their power grid can keep up this winter.
Jesus fuck I'll never understand these people. So now the Jews are sending Mexicans? Do they hear themselves when they speak? How incredibly fucking stupid that sounds?
It's not that confusing. You figure out who you hate, and then find any possible reason for them to be the cause of all your life's problems, no matter how thin or tenuous.
Luckily, there are always people to tell you both of the above.
This is not a new theory. This was the motivation for the 2018 Tree of Life shooting, which is the deadliest anti-semitic attack in American history.
My uncle-in-law is convinced that the CCP is sending spies and sleeper agents in droves across the border. There's just no way to reason with this level of delusion.
They get their spies in legitimately or turn people. The fuck would you use a border? You want someone with a legal job.
Anti-immigration hysteria? Check. Anti-semitic conspiracies? Check. Now all they is some anti-black dog whistles to hit the trifecta. The odds are looking pretty good.
It's like a horrible game of Bigot Bingo
The only part that surprises me about this is that the convoy isn't called "Take Back Are Country."
Well there's a shock.
Who's funding *this *rally??
The asshole who tells you that you just need to work harder to get that $2 raise, after purchasing himself a new super truck with the money he definitely earned by working hard.
Yet this is the same party attacking the left for being antisemitic, and the media never contextualizes their attacks with things like this or their Jewish space laser actual antisemitism.
How does a group "descend" to a position they never left. That's like saying these conservative shitstains "descended" into racism and xenophobia. They are conservatives FFS!
I think it's funny how the starting point was they're christian nationalist secessionist traitors but OP's red line is anti-semitism.
I disagree with the word "descends." Aren't their previous racist and otherwise positions equally low? This is a lateral move not a descent.
I was told that 21 year old college students advocating that less children get blown up were the antisemitic ones?
When does free speech descend into incitement?
When black people do it.
See: BLM protests
In a separate video of the same event posted by Ryan Matta, he also claims that Hamas and Hezbollah "are coming across" the U.S. border. "Venezuela is filled with Hezbollah," he said. "Our borders are wide open, it's our government that's doing it." Yon reposted the video with the caption "Allahu Akbar!"
So is it Jews or Hamas/Hezbollah?
They can’t even keep their shit straight that they are telling people. 🤦🏻♂️
I’m shocked
Been hearing about terrorism in the US for years. Why are they all homegrown?
I feel like we need to stop using the term antisemitism and split it into two categories. You have the Nazi's hate speech vs the Israeli government wants to justify killing Palestinian children.
You literally have to read the articles to figure out in which way it's being used.
And I really wish the Israeli government would stop making me feel I need this distinction.
No, we don't need to split it into two categories because only one of those is antisemitism. If there were an organization of Latino Americans, even a powerful one, who announced that anyone who doesn't support Mexico's war against the cartels is racist, no one would say that there are two kinds of anti-Latino racism. There's racism and then there's bullshit that a group might claim is racism but isn't.
(Sorry, I know that's not a 1:1 example, but I can't think of an equivalent one to make my point. I think my point still stands.)
I’m getting worried.
I planned a vacation to TX for my birthday in early April, because it happens to coincide with the eclipse, and Dallas will be one of the best places to view it from.
So, since I had a lot of points to splurge on, I extended the vacation a bit and we’re going to fly into Houston, hang there for a bit, then spend my birthday weekend in Austin, then Dallas for the eclipse, and back down to Houston to fly home.
Lots of stuff I want to do in each city, and I know the cities are generally lean a bit more liberal, but I’m getting more concerned each day about actually spending my birthday and a monumental celestial event inside an actual civil war.
I live on the border, and you really don't need to worry unless you're pregnant.
Unless some kind of armed violence and wide scale conflict actually breaks out, you'll be perfectly fine. Especially in the cities, most of those people are just as aghast as you.
I cancelled my trip for the eclipse. Why mess with texas?
You’ll be fine. The average Texan isn’t even aware of this stupid shit and the cities you listed are way more left-leaning than a small town in whatever state you’re from.
This is a few hundred idiots in a state with a population of 30 million people. I saw more people at Costco yesterday.
Some articles have misrepresented it as 1,000 people, but that was a concert in Dripping Springs, a small town outside of Austin (not the border) with Ted Nugent and Sarah Palin. 1,000 people turning out for a musician with Top 40 hits is actually a very poor turnout for being near a city with 1,000,000 people.
This is all just media hype. Edit to add: And politician hype. I’m not sure which one I’m angrier at. They both suck for trying to “make fetch happen.”
