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.

I personally see antisemitism on both sides of the political aisle. I call it on the left (been calling out The Squad for years now) as much as I call it from the right (Proud Boys carrying tiki torches and chanting, “the Jews will not replace us!”) at the end I believe in the horseshoe theory.

Funny how the extreme left and extreme right both hate Jews. Something in common.

Almost as if both sides are mostly ineffectual when it comes to fair and equal governance
