Funny story. I have Jewish and Christian parents. In spring 2016 I mentioned the online explosion of antisemitism and the link to Trump’s campaign. My Christian dad angrily lashed out that it was a smear by the corporate media to make Trump look bad.

He’s a lifelong progressive.
He’s the only member of his immediate family who isn’t Jewish. And he was mad at me for bringing up anti-semitism because it made Hillary look better than Trump. Mad because I was saying fascism was on the rise, and was threatening his own family. He didn’t want to care about it.
I won’t say who he voted for in the general, but her initials are Jill Stein.

He blames Trump’s win on Hillary.

He feels more betrayed by the DNC than by the GOP.

Privilege and grievance are a hell of a drug.
