At an event marking the anniversary of Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel, Donald Trump claimed that antisemitism existed within the Democratic Party but not the Republican Party.
“Antisemitism” is a particularly bizarre thing if viewed through the lens of MAGA right-wing autocracy.
The thing is that it requires two completely different but oddly complementary lies.
The first is the standard ludicrous notion that opposing the policies of the Israeli right somehow equals antisemitism.
The second is the at least equally ludicrous notion that holding generally negative opinions of Jews in general - a thing that’s not coincidentally quite common among MAGAites - somehow does not equal antisemitism.
So MAGAites live in this bizarre mirror universe in which falsehood is truth and truth is falsehood.
