Indeed. We need a new version of Godwin's law. Something like
The odds of xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, or antisemitism appearing in a conversation is directly proportional to the number of conservatives participating in that conversation.

Idk about you guys but I hate Nazis more than I hate illegal immigrants.
Hopefully their power grid can keep up this winter.

Jesus fuck I'll never understand these people. So now the Jews are sending Mexicans? Do they hear themselves when they speak? How incredibly fucking stupid that sounds?
It's not that confusing. You figure out who you hate, and then find any possible reason for them to be the cause of all your life's problems, no matter how thin or tenuous.
Luckily, there are always people to tell you both of the above.
My uncle-in-law is convinced that the CCP is sending spies and sleeper agents in droves across the border. There's just no way to reason with this level of delusion.
They get their spies in legitimately or turn people. The fuck would you use a border? You want someone with a legal job.

This is not a new theory. This was the motivation for the 2018 Tree of Life shooting, which is the deadliest anti-semitic attack in American history.

Anti-immigration hysteria? Check. Anti-semitic conspiracies? Check. Now all they is some anti-black dog whistles to hit the trifecta. The odds are looking pretty good.
It's like a horrible game of Bigot Bingo

The only part that surprises me about this is that the convoy isn't called "Take Back Are Country."
Well there's a shock.
Who's funding *this *rally??
The asshole who tells you that you just need to work harder to get that $2 raise, after purchasing himself a new super truck with the money he definitely earned by working hard.

Yet this is the same party attacking the left for being antisemitic, and the media never contextualizes their attacks with things like this or their Jewish space laser actual antisemitism.

I disagree with the word "descends." Aren't their previous racist and otherwise positions equally low? This is a lateral move not a descent.
How does a group "descend" to a position they never left. That's like saying these conservative shitstains "descended" into racism and xenophobia. They are conservatives FFS!
I think it's funny how the starting point was they're christian nationalist secessionist traitors but OP's red line is anti-semitism.

When does free speech descend into incitement?
When black people do it.
See: BLM protests

In a separate video of the same event posted by Ryan Matta, he also claims that Hamas and Hezbollah "are coming across" the U.S. border. "Venezuela is filled with Hezbollah," he said. "Our borders are wide open, it's our government that's doing it." Yon reposted the video with the caption "Allahu Akbar!"
So is it Jews or Hamas/Hezbollah?
They can’t even keep their shit straight that they are telling people. 🤦🏻♂️
They probably don't know the difference. They're from the same place after all LoL. These people aren't smart.
I was told that 21 year old college students advocating that less children get blown up were the antisemitic ones?

These people don't know whether to hate or love Jews depending on what their talking heads told them that morning
They generally hate Jews unless Fox News tells them that Arabs are scarier.
When it's not involving Arabs, then Jews are scarier.
I don't quite understand the hierarchy of fear that's so present in these communities though, but I assume there's sub gradations within the groups like an Israeli Jew isn't as bad as a wall street Jew and a wall street Jew is scarier than a Mexican but not a taxi driver?
I'm probably not racist enough to grasp the nuances of their thinking but I'm among the scary people so I try to catalogue where I am in the moment on the hate scale LoL. Rising the ranks quickly is my current experience.....

I’m shocked
Been hearing about terrorism in the US for years. Why are they all homegrown?
Oh this is good.
Maybe we'll see some of that censorship put to good use, now.
