I'm seriously having trouble thinking of an elected Jewish Republican with any kind of power in the party. No senators. Are there any governors? Senior House figures? For a while there the GOP had Eric Cantor as its top official in the House but he was primaried out a decade ago.

This fake screenshot published by a man known for spreading far right conspiracy theories currently has 2.2M views and is being shared all over Twitter. WaPo PR has confirmed this is a fake image.

You mean to tell me that migrating to a platform that's nearly identical to Twitter in both function and aesthetic didn't change the way users treat each other? I'm shocked.

I mean, citizen street fascists maybe, but PPB is better funded than ever, entire classes of the citizenry are increasingly denied the right to exist, and Gonzalez has a decent shot at winning the mayorship. We mowed the lawn, sure, but unless we replace the sod, it WILL grow back.

Trump also doesn't wield religion enough (read: hardly at all) to be an effective fascist in the US. Christianity is too embedded in the history of this country to achieve fascism without it.

Are you one of the many voices I'm suddenly seeing push for Gavin Newsom to replace Biden as the democratic nominee? If so, can you remember where you first got the idea from? How long have you held that position? Is it new, or is it something you've been thinking for a while now?
