    This is why I get a chuckle from guys like Ben Shapiro. He thinks he’s “one of the good ones”, but at its core, MAGA is profoundly antisemitic (by the original definition of the term). At some point, they’ll turn on him.

      Too true. Shapiro, Crockett, Raichik, Fuentes and the rest of the pick me’s are tokens, and tokens always get spent.

          He’s got a Hispanic sounding last name and according to SCOTUS, that’s a perfectly valid reason to send people to camps. Nicky better mind his P’s and Q’s, all’s I’m sayin.

            Not in any way /meaning/ to defend them, but I think the argument is that multiple of the 4 characteristics (speaking Spanish, looking Hispanic, certain jobs, I forget the 4th) taken together is supposedly justification, but not any given one of them alone.

              Location is the 4th. Looking hispanic, speaking spanish, gathering in an area with a large population of illegal immigrants, and performing a job commonly held by illegal immigrants.

      Normally, I try to have sympathy for people who are having their face eaten by a leopard. As generally, most people are just victims of the right wing propaganda machine.

      In Ben Shapiro’s case, I will gladly eat popcorn and watch it.
