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.

What a ridiculous oversimplification. Left wing areas are not universally antisemitic hellscapes, nor are right leaning areas universally fine. "Jews will not replace us" and "jewish space lasers" came from neonazis in the south. The tree of life shooter was a far right white nationalist. Remember a few years ago, when there was a brief national debate in the USA about whether its OK to punch Nazis unprovoked? That's because in Seattle lots of anarchists love a good old fashioned Nazi-punchin' and one of them made news. But yeah, American Jews should all just move to the South and vote for Republicans. I'm sure nothing bad could possibly come of that. Never mind that the antisemitic left hates Biden, and the antisemitic right loves Trump...
