      I actually don’t think Trump is behind this one. hear me out:

      there are two factions emerging within MAGA. the Evangelicals and MAGA-leaning neocons are heavily Zionist, so there’s no way they’d let this happen. the second faction are the alt-right/groypers/white nationalists, who simp for Nick Fuentes and Laura Loomer. Gen Z belongs overwhelmingly to this second camp, as illustrated by the Young Republicans discord leak.

      Trump himself has no political views other than his own power and personal vengeance, but I’d still put him closer to the first camp since he’s a Boomer, and he’s in Bibi’s pocket. so I think whoever pushed for this is probably part of the same cabal that posts Nazi dogwhistles on DHS’s Twitter - part of the second camp.

      and that second camp will become the future of the Republican party, unfortunately.

        I don’t see a difference between zionist and nazi, so yes way.

          Zionists believe in the supremacy of the jewish population. Nazis believe in supremacy of the white race, but also exterminating jews.

          It’s easy to see how both systems of hate can be used to goad lower class sects into eliminating “the enemy” instead of visualizing the class war. There are very likely much smaller camps of rich elites that play both sides, but outside of that, the two groups are distinct. Trump has supported both before, since both have sucked up to him.

        Trump is merely the vehicle being used by the likes of Thiel. As soon as he croaks or becomes too much hassle, JD will take the reins. There’s others, too.

        A lot of Zionists are just as antisemitic as the nazis, save for replacing exterminationism with deportations to Israel. Others are clever enough to say “Jews are genetically better with money than the Goyim” rather than “Jews are greedy”.
