what I don't understand is, while yes the far right is anti-semitic, are they not even more anti-islamic?

The conspiracy far right hates jews more than anything and the Christian far right likes jews and hates Arabs.

I guess the question is how much overlap is there in that Venn diagram. I assume a lot.

Judging Turtle Neck McConnell's recent pro-isrealhell speech, I think you're right.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's the difference though. McConnell is old guard Republican. Far-right, but in a stodgy, slow kind of way that builds strategic alliances where needed. Trump's far right is utterly impulsive, guided by pure emotion, and completely unfettered in their hatred.

And Trump is extremely susceptible to flattery. It makes him very dangerous to have as a leader.

Trump is dangerous for so many reasons that at this point its difficult to even try to list them all.
