When folks say that antisemitism is due to a specific politician, as a Jew, I find this highly offensive.
It allows people to ignore the antisemitism in their circles by "othering" it, or making it into a political talking point.
It turns Jew hatred into a political tokenization game whereby Jews are dehumanized and antisemitism is simply "a tool of the left" or "a tool of right".
Please refrain from doing it.
Sören@emacsen @david_colquhoun @stux @SummerDay @adam @TheezyThee are you denying that Trump played a big role in normalizing antisemitism again in the 21st century?

This is not Trump's legacy, this has being coagulating at least since the financial crisis. Trump and antisemitism are symptom of the slow descent of the USA into fascism. He made things worse, but is still not the source.
