Violating the constitution, if indeed he has been, is not in the same neighborhood as suspending the constitution. Violating the Constitution results in court cases; suspending it even in part has only happened in war.

The TikTok creator also compared the star-shaped pendant to the Iron Cross, a German military medal later adopted by Nazis.
LOL. The Third Reich was contiguous with the previous German governments, of course they inherited the Iron Cross (which I think was originally Imperial). It's inoffensive enough that it's sometimes used in place of a swastika when depicting things German of that era. Not that her star looks a damned thing like an Iron Cross (or a swastika) besides having four arms. Someone needs to make a version of that necklace with actual SS lightning bolts and a Black Sun (which the star also doesn't much resemble), just to give people vapors.

Well, if mkc is Impassionata rather than Darwin, you have to throw out parsimony and assume he's got at least a half a dozen alts of various ages participating. But I doubt it, Passionflower usually couldn't keep his main alt sounding sane-ish for this long, nor resist the urge of obviously arguing among his own alts.

If they thought "never again" meant nothing bad would happen to anyone ever, they were mistaken. "Never again" was popularized by Meir Kahane, who was a bit of a radical and didn't like Palestinians much. That is to say, he was a terrorist who supported the ethnic cleansing of both Israel and the occupied territories, in favor of Jews. There's no doubt that "Never again" meant "you don't do that shit to Jews", specifically.
Anyway, if you think "Never again" means something, you should probably avoid siding with "From the River to the Sea" people, and those fools have not.

Much as I love your race-blind ideals, much as they resonate with me, the modern incarnation of progressivism and identitarianism didn't build the slums and the poverty and the suffering.
Oh, but they did. Riot by riot, they built them. They got their clients to move in, drive the old white people out, take over the political machines of the cities, break the cities... and then they got to keep both parts. Still do, in most cases.

Broad swathes of 'antisemitism' on the left can differentiate between opposing Jews and opposing Israel. You and others running cover for antisemitism on the right ignore the significant presence of slogans and groups like 'Jews for Palestine' at all the rallies on college campuses. The largest protests against the Israeli war in Gaza in my region were led by Jewish men in kippahs with megaphones blocking traffic.
They are fools running cover for the most relevant group of anti-Semites in the modern world (a large subgroup of Muslims, fronted by the Palestinians). Though that gives you the relevant stonetoss tug-of-war -- one one side, a Jewish guy in a kippah and a bearded muslim with a watermelon logo. On the other, a Jewish guy in a spodik and a guy with an undercut and a swastika.

Except the mainstream of the left includes the River to the Sea people, while the mainstream of the right doesn't include the groypers or the "dissident right" (you can tell from the name).

Your priors are your priors, not evidence. My priors are that even if one or more staffers in a Congressional office were to want to put up an edgy swastika flag, there are plenty of other staffers who would notice and object strenuously.

Trump's most fascist things are where the Democrats don't even really oppose him (industrial policy, basically). Other than that, Trump's not a fascist. He hasn't suspended the Constitution; talk is cheap and politicians engage in it all the time. It's not in any way, shape, or form a violation of the constitution or 'fascist' to talk about running for a third term.

Tucker Carlson is big but did not "openly deny the holocaust"; he merely had a guest on his show who did.

The same hypothetical Jew would be better off with someone who they disagree 99.9% of policies with as long as that .1% they agree on was "don't kill the Jews"
Yeah, so Jews should probably disassociate from the "River to the Sea" people, who are the main group who want to kill Jews nowadays. They don't call themselves Nazis... but to be fair, their forefathers have been wanting to kill Jews since before Adolf was a gleam in Aloysius's eye.

Sure so why that particular verse in that particular version of that particular song? Even if you were to blindly pick Micheal Jackson songs at random, that seems unlikely.
Song was picked by Gen-Xer who liked it? Who cares?
"Was spotted." This was an op... did you send them?
Yeah it was spotted hanging there, with photographic evidence.
So you did send them?

If everything Trump and his toadies have done
You're trying to connect Trump to anti-semitism? Donald J. Trump? The guy with the Orthodox Jewish convert daughter, whose Orthodox Jewish husband was one of his senior advisors in his first term? Netanyahu's best buddy, darling of the US Haredi, that Donald Trump?
Andrew Torba may well be a neo-Nazi. Or Myron Gaines, whoever the fuck he is. But Trump obviously isn't, and every time someone tries to connect him to anti-semitism they only discredit themselves.

This does not bode well for the jews and Israel.
I expect Israel will be fine, though it's going to be really weird when the ironic antisemites are on their side but the woke Jews oppose them.
(What am I saying? That's already largely the case)

Additionally, the Border Patrol posted a video on an Instagram containing an antisemitic slur.
Which is to say they posted a video containing a Michael Jackson song. Of all the controversies surrounding Michael Jackson, that was the least.
A flag with a swatiska embedded in it was spotted in the office of Representative Dave Taylor.

With logic like that, I should have voted against gay marriage so that they wouldn't try to trans the kids next!

Where does endless escalation lead and tit for tat reprisals?
It's amazing how this point is brought up when someone defected thinking the other side could do nothing, and then realized they were wrong.
I think peace requires you to put aside the different river instinct and recognize it is similar enough
It really isn't, and we aren't going to have peace anyway. If one side gets to do all sorts of shit and get away with it, and then not only excuse all of it but have the other side punished for doing something which vaguely rhymes, we've still got nothing but who/whom for a standard.

Sometimes the politicians order lunch too. Or proclaim today National Northern Hemispheric Penguin Day or some other such thing. But a lot of it is about deciding what acts will now call for state violence against the actor, or arguing about how to divide the spoils from the protection racket.

Nah. I can recognize the difference between organizing and directing people to assault others, and measuring environmental contaminants. The first one is closer to violence, if it was unclear to you
Measuring, maybe, but that's hardly all the legislature does. Sometimes crime bosses just order lunch too. The legislature makes rules which the direct result of which is violence applied to those who disobey, and no amount of talking about environmental contaminants will change that.
Now this is probably impassionata. (SRD = subredditdrama, I suspect the term is equivalent to lolcow)
