I find this fascinating. The logical thing to do would be to draw a line between those who are antisemitic and those who are not.

The number of people who willingly and vocally put themselves on the antisemitic side of that line out of tribalism is horrifying. https://twitter.com/trilbeereviews/status/1359824658497998849
The political right complains that their views aren’t listened to or that they are tarred by a brush as racist, misogynistic, transphobic, antisemitic, etc.

But they consistently place themselves on that side of the dividing line. They choose to be on that side.
You don’t get to welcome transphobic antisemites into your fold, exploiting their profile for clicks or attention, and then complain that people think you are transphobic or antisemitic.

And it’s nobody’s fault but your own if that happens.
You see a lot of “Gina Carano was fired for being a conservative” nonsense.

It’s those tweets, by conservatives, that conflate conservatism with antisemitism and transphobia.

It’s not a label that anybody else is applying, but that conservatives have applied to themselves.
