Much of the post-Holocaust agony among the Jewish community wonders how the Jews of Germany could not see what was coming with Hitler despite the absolute clarity of his authoritarian vision. What right-wing Jews seem to miss today is that from the KKK to MAGA, fascist bigots always end at anti-semitism. No matter their professed Revelations-based love for the state of Israel, Christian Nationalists' hateful vengeance against gays, women and people of color will forever coincide with a visceral hatred for Jews.
Despite JD Vance's loud warnings about Trump's core Hitlerism, his "hillbilly" demographic defines his choice as The Donald's #2. It's certainly not from any special talent or experience he might have displayed for public service to anyone except the fossil/nuclear industry.
And despite the personal contempt of David Suissa and so many others, Kamala Harris brings deep, tangible credentials to the professional demands of actually doing the job of a President of the United States.
It's sad to see such a career denigrated on the basis of her race and gender in a publication like The Jewish Journal.
But buckle down".as Joe heads toward the door (hopefully after freeing Leonard Peltier) the right wing waves of misogynist and racial contempt aimed at Kamala Harris are about to hit critical mass.
