Reply to comment by probablyasummoms in Ex-Capitol Police officer 'betrayed' oath by warning Jan. 6 rioter about Facebook posts, prosecutor says by Phatbrew

I knew I had friends that leaned right but ever since Trump the full-on racism is out in the open, he normalized it. Now Kanye has basically mainstreamed antisemitism. After Kanye's rant I know see posts like "kanye saying what everyone wants to say".

Yup. I'm Jewish and it really pisses me off seeing people defend Kanye over Twitter. Like, can't we draw a line at Antisemitism?

You think if Ilhan Omar said I'm going death Con 3 on Christians tonight, and got a measley 6 hour ban like Janye would, conservatives would be defending her "free speech" rights? We have fallen so far as a nation. Very sad.

Ok, autocorrect said Janye, and I'm keeping it that way. Ha!

We haven't 'drawn a line' for anything else. We've spent the last decade seeing Republican politicians call for trans people to be assaulted, imprisoned or executed, and get cheers instead of consequences. Among no shortage of other minority groups also being blamed for all of society's problems.

Don't forget women and abortions! No one drawn there either. It's a big cluster *.

The same people cheering for this are the same ones defending Kanye. But plenty of rational people have been talking about the disgusting rhetoric.

Bro I don't even encounter visibly Jewish people in my day to day life. Like I think the last time I saw a person who was obviously Jewish, because of the curly hair things, was like 10 years ago. And I live in a major city.

You really can't develop a hatred for Jews without consuming mountains of hateful propaganda. There is no "what everyone wants to say" I legit do not give one fuck or another about someone's Jewish heritage. People need to learn to use their eyes more often.
