I hadn’t even considered how jarring the political switch to antisemitism will be. Dems through a lens of nauseatingly misused left-adjacent points, and Reps with more overt racism and exciting language. If the NYT runs an article called “Were the Alt-Right right about Israel?” I’m putting my fucking head right in the lathe next
That’s what has prompted my ruminating about this whole situation. My husband is ethnically Jewish, by 3rd Reich standards so is my son. We have had strained family and friend relationships as a result of the whole ordeal. I have nothing to do with any of this. I could tolerate a situation where I am a political prisoner, but anything with my child I just can’t fathom.
And of course, I can’t talk to any of my in laws or estranged Jewish friends because they are just conditioned to be like “yeah that’s why we need Israel at all costs” while they just further dissociate and double down and contribute to fomenting a situation that affects me and mine. It’s maddening.
