Galindo still got around 40% of the vote. That is what the problem is. She may have lost by 20 points, but the percentage that voted for her is not small.
Great info in this post, Batya 👍 I’m not sure your conclusion is entirely true, however, as Zohran the Moron is a true antisemite and he is now mayor of NYC, ironically the home of a large percentage of US Jews. Possibly he will get further exposure as a Jew hater and be flushed from office?? 🤷♂️
Amen! It's not just being a full on antisemite. You can't espouse overt hateful bigotry against any group and be welcomed in polite society or our mainstream politics. Even in party primaries, it's incredibly rare for somebody to win if they fully drop the mask and the dogwhistle and go full open bigot.
This hate is a violation of our universal moral TABOOS and the vast majority of Americans, outside of the most radical and rabid hyper-partisans, abhor and reject it.
Unfortunately we're seeing this hate normalize on the margins and punch above its weight class, though it's mostly because of a Collective Illusion that makes it seem more tolerated than it actually is. We must keep exposing that only a tiny fringe of people actually hold these eliminationist, taboo views, and only a slightly larger fringe finds them socially acceptable. And we must reimpose a "moral guilt by association", so politicians and pundits can't carefully craft their words while openly mainstreaming and laundering the explicit bigotry espoused by their political allies.
If we can collectively and vocally reject and ostracize this hate, and everyone who espouses and sanitizes it, as we did to marginalize and defeat the KKK, we will #MakeTaboosTabooAgain.

Oh sure you can as long as that hatred is against white heterosexual men; the media/dems will applaud loudly. The mis-named “diversity” movement is simply a facade for hatred & discrimination against whites.
I think the biggest difference between Henry Ford's day and today is the pervasive proliferation of social media. It seems that the word of bigotry and hatred runs through the people (young people, in particular) faster than our natural American instinct towards fairness and goodness. It is, however, a blessing that the voters of Galindo's district are still, in the majority, sane.
Hitler read Ford's writings and was deeply influenced by them, according to several sources. Ford is the only American praised by name in "Mein Kampf," and in 1938 the Nazi regime awarded him the Grand Cross of the German Eagle, its highest honor for foreigners. Many Jews of my parents generations would never even consider buying a Ford.
Got this from Google: "...national American Jewish Committee studies show that roughly 16% to 20% of the U.S. general public harbors deep-seated, multiple antisemitic prejudices..." Wow. Nobody I know personally has ever expressed such sentiments within my earshot. I find this hard to believe. Until I read that, I would have assumed it was just a small (guessing 5%?) noisy faction no one takes seriously. What the heck, people? Our kids aren't born thinking like this. What happened?

It shows what indoctrination did.

Regardless she still represents the future of the Democrat party.
