More the “soros-funded protesters” thing should be understood as both an anti-semitic dogwhistle and an attack on the idea of legitimate opposition itself, a tactic imported from european far-right parties

Thank you Jamelle Bouie

1. Broad attacks on the media, too

A lot of right-wing "populist" rhetoric is.

The people spouting this stuff might not think they are being anti-Semitic, but they walk a path that was created with anti-Semitic hate.

2. Yes, so much of the rhetoric is soaked in anti-Semitic tropes.

It's become normalized.

3. That was perfectly clear immediately

Of course it's an anti-semitic dogwhistle, and there really is no need to dilute that by interpreting in more general terms.

4. Putin's boy now says Feinsteen, and Rosensteen too. He knows better, we've heard him pronounce

both right.

5. Why aren't they attacking TOm Steyr who is putting more money in this election cycle for Dems?

6. and when they use terms like "globalists" "new world order" and similar shit

7. It's because Republicans are so fucking stupid, they can only remember Clinton, Soros and Alinsky.

8. Not surprised.

It is an effective one, and used way more than most would even imagine.

9. I just got a flashback to 2016...

It was an argument with a progressive too, and we're both on the left. He goes on and on about Goldman Sachs, so I ask him - how come J.P Morgan doesn't get the same level of demonization? Why does the bank with the Jewish name get all the hits? I easily critique consolidation and the current state of financial corruption without mentioning Goldman Sachs, but for some this is impossible and it morphs from Goldman Sachs to Globalist Bankers to "Zionist banks" to "Zionist Capitalist conspiracy", to "Zionist Media Conspiracy" and "Soros funded" conspiracies.
