Anyone who responds to this toot with anything besides empathy and the understanding that they are speaking to the son and grandson of Holocaust survivors will be blocked immediately. I’m not here to fight with you. I’m just here to ask my leftist friends to try and be fucking normal about the Jew in the running for VP, especially right now while everything is fucked up. Just this once. Just be fucking normal about him. Please.
I gotta tell you, the Jews in your life? We’re fucking exhausted. The antisemitism is coming from all corners right now. Your Jewish friends would appreciate disclaimers, like: “I think it’d be great to have a Jewish VP, but Shapiro has said x, y, and z, which means he’s not going to be the forceful anti-war voice we I think we need.” That would be a perfectly cromulent way to put it.
But just screaming “Genocide!” At the one Jew is a bad look and it’s gonna make your friends wonder about you.
