Why did Jake Tapper write a book on a former President while the current President is ushering in fascism and oligarchy? Jake isn't used to getting his hands dirty fighting for democracy. If it doesn't come easy, he's not going to do it. Biden is an easy target. Trump will hit back. Hard.

I genuinely don't know how we, the Jewish community, are supposed to have the reckoning required of a people whose ostensible state is doing a literal genocide in our name when those of us who claim to oppose it can't stop talking about how unsafe WE feel. WE SHOULD NOT BE COMFORTABLE NOW.
