The GOP Goes Backwards Again.

Lately, I have been writing about how the GOP has nothing to say that will give them a leg up for 2024. There’s no recession, there are no American troops in harms’ way anywhere, and going after the anti-trans vote is about as exciting as figuring out who’s going to indict Trump next, i.e., it’s just old news.

But what does seem to be grabbing a bit of attention is a new narrative that can be explored by the MAGA wannabees in the GOP, although it’s actually a narrative which in this country came and went about a century ago.

I’m talking about anti-Semitism, which like everything else the GOP noisemakers trot out, is slightly diffused and camouflaged to keep the hate and the anger it represents within some degree of normalcy.

The guy holding the poster outside of a Congressional hearing in New York City wanted to make sure you knew he was talking not just about George Soros but was also talking about Jews. His approach was somewhat more obvious than what a schmuck like Matt Gaetz was saying inside the hearing room when he denounced the ‘Soros-ization’ of the criminal justice system because Soros has allegedly funded the political campaigns of Alvin Bragg and other ‘soft on crime’ DA’s.

Of course, the only reason that anyone in the GOP gives one whit about whether criminals are running amok in the streets of New York…
