Still debating if they’re Nazis?

The major American Jewish organizations have gone so hard for, “Anti-Zionism is the major form antisemitism takes today” that they are wholly unprepared for a world where MAGA antisemitism will often come in the form of exaggerated support for Zionism.

So Elon Musk did a Nazi salute. Then he tried to deflect. Now he's gone to Germany to speak to the neo-Nazi AfD party, which he's endorsed, saying that Germany should let go of historical guilt -- which is a dog whistle for Holocaust denial. So Elon Musk is, in fact, a Nazi.

I don’t know why anyone thought Dave Roberts was ever even a little bit close to being fired, you don’t get managers like this off trees

Like many bigots, Trump divides Jews up into "good Jews" (those who agree with him and support his ideology) and "bad Jews" (those who don't). He's been doing this for a while, and he's far from alone across the political spectrum, as I wrote back in September: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Am way past being startled by anything on Twitter these days, but it's still something to see Georgia Rep. Mike Collins using his official account to endorse a neo-Nazi calling out a WaPo reporter as Jewish.

ALL. OF. THIS. from Ari. And especially this last part.
