The Jewish portion of the “he surely won’t eat our faces…” club.

Remember: there was a "Jews for Hitler" group. In Germany.

I wonder if those at this gathering are aware of that history.

I, for one, had not known that (tho' I am not Jewish). Thx.

Dude openly supports antisemites, and they're like, "Mmm, gotta get us some of that!"

Reminder that Jews for Hitler was also a thing.

And there were Jewish Nazis

Of all the Republican presidential contenders who spoke at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual conference Saturday, Trump received the most sustained applause, with some in the crowd of over 1,000 people holding their iPhones aloft to get a picture of the former president.

Wow 1,000 idiots love trump? What a scoop!

He recently called Hamas very smart. I'm probably being naive but I honestly thought that might erode his support among Jewish Republicans. I was surprised they gave him such a boisterous welcome. It could all be astroturf though.

Anyone that still supports him isn't going to stop now.

[-] Salamendacious@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I know people that voted for him in 2016 but voted for Biden in 2020. I think there's at least one person who voted for him twice but won't this time.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Well, if it gets to the point where his goons have arrested little d's son in law for being Jewish (and Ivanka for being a race traitor) and they are rounding up Jews all around the country, maybe then they might think twice about their support for this fascist.

Nah, it's a cult and he's their messiah. He can literally do no wrong in their eyes.

As a Jew whose parents support Trump (and Republicans in general), it won't erode his support. They'll make excuses as to what he really meant while saying "he's not anti-semitic because he supports Israel."

Of course, Israel isn't American Jewery. Trump "supports Israel" because his evangelicals need Jews running Israel for Jesus to return. He doesn't care at all about Jews and the Republican party is going all in on "this is a Christian nation and any citizen who isn't Christian can pound sand." (They also like Israel because it gives them a place they can say they'll deport all Jews to.)

But my parents are blinded by "supports Israel" and so they ignore everything else surrounding this.

[-] Salamendacious@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Oh that makes me sad. I'm going to keep hoping that at least a few people realize that he's just a conman.

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 1 year ago

I'm surprised he didn't get on stage and say, "Hitler? He loved me. If I were president I would have told him gassing those people was... it was not so good."

Or maybe he did and they're still supporting him, WTFK
