Trump campaigned on a pledge to fight antisemitism. “Antisemitic bigotry has no place in a civilized society,” Trump said at an event in 2024.
However, critics question whether antisemitism may have found a place within his administration.
NPR has identified three Trump officials with close ties to antisemitic extremists, including a man described by federal prosecutors as a “Nazi sympathizer,” and a prominent Holocaust denier.
Amy Spitalnick, CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, argues that the administration is using antisemitism as a pretext.
Yeah i used to be into the more fun stuff, aliens and ancient civilizations and bigfoot and that stuff. Kennedy, sure, but never drew any serious conclusions. Not sure if there always was a right wing undercurrent to the scene, or if it became instrumentalized sometime around when social media manipulation took off. Of course blaming ‘globalists’ and ‘bankers’ for all of ones woes isn’t new. Even the occupy wallstreet movement must have drawn from that crowd, even though i still supported it (from a distance.)
Nowadays its mostly christian nationalist bullshit, not even trying to hide it.
