A quick annotation for the perplexed:

*"Globalist class" = The Jews™

*"Their mouthpieces in Washington" = the people-puppets whose strings are pulled by The Jews™ and/or The Jews™ themselves.

If only someone or all of Jewish history had given the Jewish people any kind of warning about fascists.

The Jewish right discovering in real time that the Trumpist right, and the open bigotries it has unleashed upon the US body politic, is not in fact going to spare Jews, is quite a trip.

There is a fake black grave marker with white text which says “I Did My Own Research.” In front of the grave marker are two plastic skeletal hans and forearms that are positioned as if they are clawing up from below the grass.

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”

It’s very telling that opening your publication to MAGA “thought” requires a massive downgrade in quality control.
