Eh fuck Josh Shapiro. He called the campus protest camps for gaza antisemitically motivated. I dont know why the firebombing happened, but i also dont wanna let him play the victim here.

I believe it was an angry constituent who got evicted and decided it was his fault.

I don't think the guy even knew it was Passover or that Shapiro is Jewish.

But I am sure our beloved media will give us the straight story soon.

I am just sick and tired that every time someone Jewish hits their toe on a table, it's somehow worse than if it was a non-Jewish person because of scary antisemitism.

Like no, times are shitty, we are living in angry and violent times. That's bad enough, but let's not make everything about race.

Two people tried to assault Trump. A CEO got killed and nobody makes those things about race.

What is racial are the Palestinians, Arabs, Muslims and immigrants getting targeted and locked up without due process. Minorities being fired from their job.

Only one person tried to assault Trump. The first "attempt" was bogus.

The trick is that you're tangentially agreeing with conservatives now.

That is not even a problem. Something being factually or morally correct isnt affected by party alignment. If you make politics about parties instead of actual decisions, then you always end up like the US with a two party system.

Even a Nazi clock is right sometimes, if only by accident.

Ageing with the conservatives means you should double check your ideas, but if you are right, you're right. Don't abandon a correct opinion just because the other guy agrees with it.

I like the bit idea of planning your firebombing and sledgehammering around religious holidays so you're not seem as culturally insensitive
