Just saw in a novel from 1988 a reference to the slur that the Haitians down South “eat all the dogs in the neighborhood” — So that was an old dog-whistle they were using, those f*ckers

The discourse on antisemitism in the country is such that Mike Rogers can simultaneously attack Abdul El-Sayed *as* antisemitic, as a scary foreign Muslim critic of Israel, and also *with* antisemitism, as a tool of the foreign-born Jewish puppeteer.
"LEAKED: Footage of Abdul El-Sayed fundraising last night in the California home of the far-left Soros family. 

Abdul’s education was paid for by the Soros family and NOW they are funding his campaign to make him a U.S. Senator 

The Soros family is funding Abdul because he will carry out their agenda of: 

➡️ defunding the police 
➡️ emptying prisons, and letting violent criminals & sex offenders back onto the streets 
➡️ gender transition surgeries for minors 
➡️ allowing illegals to vote in American elections 

Abdul is too extreme for Michigan."

Ossoff is the only one to go straight at them for their fascist / Neo-nazi / white Supremacist/Eugenics core. Almost all the other Dems will dance around it. And this will make for a very strong Presidential candidate posture in 2028.

By 2021, when the debate about “Is Trump a fascist?” Was first getting, at least, a hearing — some of us had warned that MAGA was already *well* beyond that stage, and was already morphing into something else. That after fascism (Mussolini), there is still a LOT of wide open ground to cover.

The problem with the sophists (Protagoras) was that they confused relativism with probability. While the Greeks can be excused — probability theory was a discovery of the late Renaissance — Pomo cannot.

Exactly: Class collaboration (in the name of a higher unity, such as the Nation or the Race) is essential fascist doctrine — it is called Corporativism — as opposed to the Marxist class struggle (which reifies, not race or nation, but classes). That is one of the most fundamental distinctions.
