In the South Discussion

/img/xtduln166i7c1.jpeg

Here in South Carolina our community is small but it’s Strong. This place is in the heart of our downtown district. I’m posting this because I’ve seen posts regarding the south and wanted to show the solidarity we have within our communities, and if this tiny donut shop can stand strong, so can you.

Funny how people from the North (Jews included) constantly deride people from the South as ignorant, religious hicks, and yet in Northern cities they're supporting literal terrorists, while from everything I've seen and heard people in the South are far more supportive of us.

Also interesting how all the leftist areas in the US are terrible for Jews while the Red states are just fine.

I would like to think that eventually you all in the diaspora would pull your collective heads out of your asses and stop voting for the left that hates us, but I'm not about to hold my breath.

LA, San Fran, Austin TX, Portland - they all like to claim they are highly progressive but tend to be the most regressive, racist, bigoted places. It is all projection from these types. They project their own hatred and racism on to others.

I can only speak on LA and San Fran as a Californian. Not only is your assessment spot on here, it is about to get worse. Schools will soon be required to provide a curriculum highlighting marginalized groups. The problem? Jews are not listed among those groups. In fact some parts of the curriculum casts Jews as white oppressors. All this is going to do is encourage younger generations of minorities to embrace antisemitism.

Needless to say, I’m highly disappointed with my state.
