It's weird how Nazi level anti semitism has just became the norm for conservatives. Like they don't even bat and eye when someone says the Jews control the world and have space lasers. It's pretty scary. Sad to see it so close to home but I'm not surprised anymore.

“Just become”? Sorry to say, it’s been. The democratization of information is simply allowing more of us to see it and call it what it is more often, generally speaking.

Idk if you live in a social media bubble, are just ignorant, or are intentionally trying to vilify an entire section of people for whatever reason, but damn, thats some ignorant bullshit.

Complete bullshit.

Does it happen? Unfortunatley, yes; there are always extremist and idiots regardless of political affilitation. But saying it's the norm is the same as saying liberals spreading the ideals of anarchy is "the norm."

As a person born and raised in South-west MO, who's entire family, and most of my closest friends are conservative, who works exclusively in rural communities, I have never had someone approach me with anti Semitism or say anything disparaging about Jewish people...not once. Not stammering drunk, not pissed off at political shenanigans, not on their worse day.

I've seen a nazi flag before displayed by an ignorant piece of shit, but thats hardly "the norm", even in the most hardcore conservatives I know. (It was "SS Bolts" on the back of a motorcycle)

The extremist liberals that call for anarchy don't get elected to Congress.

Thete are 435 comgressional districts across the US; 222 are Republicans. I'm not sure who specifically you're referring to, but of want to count even 4 as antisemitism, thats less than 2%, hardly a "norm".

If you would consider that the norm of the republican party, you must too consider antisemitism and violence the norm of the left.

But you and i both know It isn't.

As much as the media and many politicians want us to paint each other as the irrational enemy, that just isn't true.
