I’d have thought they’d give her an entire day of the convention to speak after that. Well, no… at present Jews are considered OK/allies/friends in large part because Trump’s daughter and son-in-law are Jewish (although for the anti-Semitics that’s just “proof” Trump is a Jewish thrall). But the number of anti-Semitics in the current Republican party is why I tell my Jewish friends that the Republicans are not, actually, their friends. I expect that when Trump leaves office (one way or another) the anti-Semetics will be climbing higher on the power ladder and the Republicans will turns against the Jews if they get power. Which is not to say all my Jewish friends are Republicans - most are not - but inexplicably some are. ---

This is the problem with fascists once they have achieved power. They can use their power to enhance their power. Cops know now that all they have to do is to shoot an unarmed black man, and then they get to bust a whole bunch of heads in a protest. ---

Great. Trump is getting involved and now has person to send in his own thugs. I truly hope we do not get a blood bath out of this. His side of all this is really trying to terrify white, Christian, suburbia/rural America into voting for him. I know far too many people who are now simply terrified of anyone not also WCS/RA. I wish those people who ask themselves who benefits from all their fear. ---
