strong argument that this bit from Satre's Anti-Semite and Jew is the key to understanding Trumpism: it is a joke, and the joke is precisely that you are required to take them seriously

"Get a load of these dumb assholes" can work instead of pretending they are serious people. Unserious people capable of doing serious damage is a better framing.
Toddlers need to be watched, because they're fucking toddlers.
J-P Satre was absolutely correct. In a way they have the upper hand over people who want decency, fairness, & speech with meaning & truth. They can play & now with their orange leader in power again they can have even more fun.
That little sneaky key of "Bad Faith" is why no one debates MAGA/Trump/fascists. It is the reason for the gulf between those who know and those who are unknowing. You cannot have leaders who will not execute the office without faith in the truth.
Precisely, I’ve even seen them accuse Jews of drinking babies’ blood. Yep, we’re already back to THAT one. I hope those few NJ Jews who voted for Trump because Harris didn’t sufficiently lick Bibi’s boots are happy, you helped elect these clowns who’ve been trying to dehumanize you for decades.

"What they're trying to do is establish power, to flaunt power."
"They're saying 'We know that you know that this is a lie, and we don't care, because there's nothing you can do about it.'"

They were laughing to themselves! The funny part was that they were only days away from invading Poland and they were dying of laughter!
