(29,294 posts)Its not so much trump as the rest of that party, and the crawling magats of depravity that are enabled by the greedy, power hungry church-and-state establishment.
It will not, as the OP points out, go away on its own. Are your bags packed?

(54,053 posts)By 11:42 a.m. on the morning after Donald Trump refused to condemn white supremacists during the presidential debate, Heather Segal had received four inquiries from Americans interested in moving to Canada. Two of them were Jewish.
Segal, an immigration lawyer in Toronto, knows theres always a spike in inquiries during U.S. election years. But in her 25 years of experience, its never been as big as it is now.
In 2016, she said, she received a couple dozen inquiries, total, from Americans looking to move to Canada. This year, she gets six or seven inquiries every day. And most of them, she said, are from Jews.
In my life, I have never seen what Im seeing, said Segal, who is herself Jewish. She said she hears the same fears from one Jewish American after another.

(90,801 posts)There can never be a never again if we don't put a stop to it the moment it rears its ugly head. Each day hate groups are allowed to present themselves as acceptable, it only emboldens the haters and inches atrocity closer.
There's a saying about not being able to bend, you break. But in some cases, bending causes the break. You bend and bend until the hold is lost and the line is broken. Defenses against the bad gone.

(29,294 posts)The reality is stunning but we have been trained to believe in widespread depravity that strains credulity. We need to be ready. We need to stand by.

(54,053 posts)I have to say, I was actually amazed and gratified that the brief moments I watched Lawrence O'Donnell tonight, he kept saying "antisemitism". It is RARE to hear that word unless we are gunned down or someone says something about Jews, then the moment passes for the media (and most others, as well).
