Why is Trump evil but not Bill Clinton?
Randomly pissed off at Frank Bruni for calling Trump’s “Make America great again” slogan “darkly coded” and “dopily elementary.” (It’s random because Trump haters have been saying similar about Trump and his slogan for the last year.)
In Bill Clinton’s first inaugural address he repeated again and again his promise to “renew America.” I don’t see how “renew America” is in any way fundamentally different than “make America great again.” Or different than Warren Harding’s famous “return to normalcy” slogan.
Candidates promising to return America to something that was better before the guy or party they are running against took over comes from the standard political playbook that has been used for the last two hundred years.

There’s a clip on YouTube somewhere with Bill Clinton in the 90s saying “make America great again”. I guess Trump haters wont accuse Trump of plagiarism in this case.
Notice with liberals its all about “code words” and “dark”!!!
Bruni also hates Trump because Trump represents the evil White America “out there”. Bruni is a gay guy writing for a left wing Jewish dominated New York paper. They hate the “White….out there”.
Of course they also hate the “White nearby” in Staten Island and wherever the Jewish proles congregate. Borough Park?
If Obama had used “make America great again” instead of “hope and change” they would have loved it.
They would have said it referred to the idealism of Kennedy, the civil rights movement, the feminist era agenda of the 70s etc.
Typical passive aggressive bitchiness of liberal women, gay guys and low t White dorks.

It’s that you are ridiculously oversensitive on this topic.
I’m Jewish and I can clearly see the vast overrepresentation of Jews amongst the Left’s media figures. I think that Vox is like 90% Jewish. The names and faces on the sidebar of the main page at Slate are comical in how closely they resemble something you would have seen in Der Sturmer. And look at some of the names you see amongst the #NeverTrump intelligentsia: Bill Kristol, Ben Shapiro, Jonah Goldberg, John Podheretz, Jennifer Rubin.
Yes there are plenty of non Jewish leaders amongst both the Left and #NeverTrump and yes they are all vastly more powerful than Trump is, but Jews are greatly overrepresented amongst their ranks and their Jewish background almost certainly contributes to their passion for open borders and hostility towards all forms of populism. No need to get offended when people point it out, unless you feel like Jews should be immune from any and all criticism.

It’s proper to get offended because people point out overrepresentation of Jews on the Left as if there is some sort of worldwide conspiracy, ignoring the truth of HBD which causes Jews to be overrepresented in ALL fields where high IQ is required. Jews are only underrepresented among Christian groups (because Jews are not Christian) and Jew-hating groups (for obvious reasons).

There are a lot of Jewish people here, including myself and the blog host, but only TUJ goes bonkers and starts launching personal attacks when somebody points how hostile secular American Jewish culture is to whites and how dominant Jews are amongst the Left wing media.
By the way, my position is that even if a single Jew had never set foot in America, the Left would be every bit as powerful and as loathsome as it currently is. In fact, I would even say that your rank in file American leftist Jew is *less* anti white than your rank and file Leftist white gentile.

But the alt-right is not going to be purged to your specifications. Not shouldn’t be, won’t.
First of all, the antisemites provide a lot of the energy behind the movement. There are an awful lot of annoying prominent SJWs who are Jewish, and sending them pictures of their kids in concentration camps is a great way to trigger annoying media liberals. Bothers you? It bothers me too. That just gets the Ricky Vaughns of the world even more excited. We’re an overclass that still thinks it’s an underclass…and it makes us fun to mock.
Second of all, *nobody CAN purge the alt-right*. There’s no Bill Buckley to kick out Joe Sobran and Pat Buchanan anymore. The whole media landscape’s too decentralized. National Review trained all their guns on Trump and failed. Breitbart outflanked Fox and now has their old king in the White House. When Trump blows up someone will outflank them.

It is false (aside from Sulzberger being an Episcopalian) because the gentile writers and editors also include many gentiles.

Maybe it is because I’ve lived in California since graduating from college, maybe it is because I’ve lived in silicon valley for the last 35 years, but I just see the immigration issue totally differently.
Immigrants are what has made America great. Immigrants are not a random sample of people living in the country where they were born. It takes guts and determination to leave your family and move to the other side of the earth to start a new life. Immigrants face huge obstacles getting here. Those obstacles can be both physical and bureaucratic. Only the most ambitious and determined make it.
Through legal immigration we have attracted the best and brightest from around the world. Legal immigration is root of American exceptionalism.

“Immigrants are what has made America great.”
Immigrants clamor to get in, because they see America as a better place to be than their own country, and with very few exceptions are coming for no other reason than to improve their own standard of living. Wanting to have more and better stuff is pretty much Human Nature 101, considered praiseworthy by our ruling elites when practiced by foreigners barging in, denounced as “greed” when practiced by middle class Americans.
When polled on the matter, most Americans want illegal immigration stopped, and less legal immigration. And yes, I am aware that there are polls that show different results, but those polls are usually commissioned by groups that have an axe to grind, and are worded so as to elicit the desired outcome. Polls that do not produce the desired “public opinion” never see the light of day; the group paying for the opinion poll pays the polling company and then quietly discards the results.
Anyway, if letting fewer people in is a mistake, it’s one that is corrected easily enough, isn’t it? But if letting in too many people and/or people who will have too much difficulty assimilating is a mistake – which I believe it is – then how do we fix that? We can’t, we’re stuck with the results.

America got to the moon in 1969 and was utterly exceptional then, outclassing the world in all respects, with better wealth, higher wages, and a longer life expectancy than any other country on Earth, by an enormous margin. That was after a near-freeze in immigration that lasted for many decades.
America is now far less exceptional than it was, being heavily in debt, not leading in education, or life expectancy or many other well-being measures.
For every legal immigrant Google employee there are 100 legal immigrants with far less to offer. In fact legal immigrants on average have far higher use of welfare than America as a whole.
MikeCA, your Silicon Valley perspective is utterly distorted as you look at a small elite group selected for high IQ.
But for what its worth, even with regards to the tech sector, you are wrong. America was leading the world 40 years ago, and the American lead in tech 40 years ago was far bigger than it is now. In fact, America trails in many areas of tech. Back then, there was no area of technology where America can in second.

Pre-1850 is the only one of the periods when there were no illegal immigrants. There were no immigration laws at all. Anyone who got here was here legally. Totally open borders.
The first immigration restriction was the Chinese Exclusion Act (1882). That law created the first illegal immigrants. More general immigration restrictions did not happen until the 1920s.
In 1910 immigrants were 14.7% of the population. The 1920 restrictions combined with the great depression and WW II caused immigration to decrease. By 1970 the immigrant percentage of the population was down to 4.7%. Today it is 13.5%, very similar to the percentage in the period between 1870-1910.

“When polled on the matter, most Americans want illegal immigration stopped, and less legal immigration.”
Illegal immigration can never be completely stopped. Have drug laws stopped illegal drug use?
What can be done are things like require E-Verify for all workers. There still will be an underground cash economy. That will be harder to eliminate, but it could be greatly reduced with vigorous enforcement, including against employers. This has not happened because big business screams bloody murder about it. They will claim the regulation will be costly, but what this really means is they will have to pay higher wages for legal workers.
The Trump administration looks pretty business friendly. I expect them to build the wall and not require universal E-Verify. The wall is a way of distracting attention and making their supporters believe they are doing something about illegal immigration without upsetting any of the big business supporters that like low wage illegal immigrants. I would be pleasantly surprised if Trump actually pushes universal E-Verify through.
My personal opinion is legal immigration policy gives too big a preference to extended family members and not enough to people who can contribute to the economy. I know there are companies abusing H-1b visas. I’ve interviewed people that were almost being held prisoner by their employers. I’m all in favor of ending H-1b visa abuse, not allowing low salaries for people on H-1bs, and making sure employers are really looking for Americans. I’m not opposed to reducing immigration quotas and re-orienting them more towards people that want to work, create new small businesses and invest in America.

Both right and wrong. Immigration was heavily controlled during this period by restricting maritime privileges. Only ships coming from certain ports and carrying certain cargos could land at American ports and this was regulated by treaties with the various kingdoms most of which didn’t want to see their workforce fleeing to the New World. If you needed the permission of the King to leave and the King didn’t want you to and the King had arranged a deal with the American government to control passenger transport, guess what? You didn’t come to America. In effect, the borders were regulated as much as they ever have been unless you could get on a pirate ship I guess.

You know why it’s different. Are you just being naive to score gotcha points? You know more than most that it’s about immigration. “Make America Great Again” really is code for an anti-immigrant message. (Note that I don’t agree it’s code for a “racist” message.) “Renew America” was probably understood to mean a return to e.g. FDR’s purely economic – as opposed to any other cultural baggage he had – message. Or something else liberals like about the past.
Generically the messages are the same, but we know they’re getting at different ideas.

Think: fresh air, water, abundant land and animals to hunt for meat and fur, no useless nobility, plenty of freedom politically and religiosly (I’m not saying it was perfect in that last respect).

The shitlib multi-faceted, multi-front anti-Trump strategy is taking shape, and it’s a pretty strong one:
MSM: Scream at top of lungs that Trump is a Hitler racist facist for every move he makes. Also call him mentally ill/insane (echoes of what was done w/ Goldwater).
Government: Endless amount of leaks from unelected civil service so Trump can’t get anything done. MSM blows each leak out of proportion, calls Trump Hitler racist facist.
Courts: Challenge every nationalist/anti-GC court order using shitlib judges on the west coast, which will be affirmed by the 9th circuit.
Protests: MSM attention on Soros-paid protests in GC cities, vastly overestimating the size and impact of the crowds.
Congress: Obstruct Trump maximally on everything, regardless of the issue. Push for impeachment.
Censorship: Use Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc to censor conservatives more and more.
Attack Trump family/allies: You see their attacks on Ivanka brand now and also on Barron, also on Bannon and now on Flynn. Expect these attacks to expand. Echoes of how Pablo Escobar was taken down (if you can’t get at Pablo, destroy his allies and friends).
This strategy appears to be working, at least so far. Trump has been very quiet and hasn’t done anything over the past week (except get Sessions and DeVos confirmed).

Immigration has a cascade effect. Much like low sexual market value immigrants wouldn’t be expected to drive the cost of pussy up, they in fact so because women percieve their target market of suitors as bigger on at least a superficial level.
It’s similar to the celebrity effect you see on social media these days… You can have 1000 followers and buy another 19000 and people have an inflated sense of what you’re worth.
Also bear in minded that low wage immigrants push low wage workers out of work in the exact same way forcing those workers into other sectors of the economy increasing the number of resumes hiring departments are giving those departments a false sense of supply and demand.
This is so basic I’m shocked I even have to explain it to someone as intelligent as you.

I already told you I thought Stalin was a thug, not a prole. If he were alive today he’d be doing saggy pants filth on stage.
But I have much more for you to review. At least read part of the article,
https://pragmaticallydistributed.wordpress.com/2017/02/07/how-comte-overthrew-marx-part-ii/
The Leftists of our time were once referred to by Metternich as Boutique Liberalés; in America they are now referred to as limousine liberals; in Europe, champagne socialists. These labels describe their class well enough, but say nothing about their ideology nor how their ideology relates to Marxism. Are American Progressives – and their analogues, British Fabian Socialists and European Union Supranationalists – equivalent to Mao, Stalin, the Kim dynasty, Kruschev, and Lenin?
Of the terms proposed to mark the ideological boundary separating the Progressive West from the Cold War East, e.g, Globalism and Cultural Marxism, none are satisfactory.
‘Globalism’ cannot be the correct term because the scope of revolution sought by Soviet Russia was as global in nature as are the ambitions of Western “Globalists”.
Cultural Marxism fails in its role of distinguisher by failing to distinguish: If Western Leftists are Cultural Marxists and Eastern bloc leftists were not Cultural Marxists, then what to make of Eastern bloc projects such as Mao’s Cultural Revolution? Was cultural Maoism cultural conservatism? Cultural libertarianism? If it was anything besides radical cultural Leftism it would come as news to Chairman Mao. It would be met with such incredulity that anyone who suggested his cultural initiatives were conservative in any way would have guaranteed for themselves a ticket to a Maoist “re-education center” where they would be taught Mao is not in fact Chiang Kaishek.
Soviet era Communists were also “Cultural Marxists”; as a definition it is useless because it defines nothing.
But if the difference has not been adequately expressed, there lingers the sense of a qualitative divide between Western and Eastern Liberalism.
Is what is suggested by intuition real or a false signal?
By any standard Mao was a “Cultural Marxist”. And yet he would be as amazed – perhaps more amazed – by a Progressive of today who insisted there are at least 52 genders as he would if he met a space alien.

But they don’t blame all the world’s problems on Jews and at the end of the day they don’t hate Jews, or even really dislike them that much. They just want Jews to stop doing some of the things they are currently doing.
The Alt-Righters who do hate Jews work backwards: they hate Jews so they proceed to blame the Jews for everything.

So what?
The current ”Heartiste” might not even be the original Roissy, Vox Day is a nobody.
But they don’t blame all the world’s problems on Jews and at the end of the day they don’t hate Jews, or even really dislike them that much. They just want Jews to stop doing some of the things they are currently doing.
Who are hypocrites for not telling gentiles “to stop doing some of the things they are currently doing” – such as the fact the French & Germans invented Communism (minus the Industrialization and specifiying class warfare as proletarian).
If French and German Liberals aren’t being blamed as an ethnic group for Liberalism neither should Jews.
Jacobin ideology was much like Proletarian Socialist ideology, the latter of which reached its culmination with the Russian Revolution. Just as Proletarian Socialist theory resembled Jacobin theory the path of the Russian Revolution closely followed that of its French predecessor, but for two exceptions: Industrial policy and class.
Industrial economics was ignored by the French Revolutionaries simply because heavy industry either did not exist in late 18th century France, or whatever industry there was did so in only a very embryonic form compared to what it would be by the second half of the 19th century. In the absence of factories to nationalize, the Jacobins instead nationalized the wealth of the Church and aristocracy with the instrument of l’Assignants. But if industry had existed, French radicals would have been sure to prelude the Bolsheviks by bringing those valuable assets into their hands.
Likewise, the class war tenets of the Jacobins and their allies in 1789 were not developed to the extent they would be by the Russian Revolution. In the then quasi-Medieval organization of French society the middle class was grouped with the working class under the Third Estate. It was because both the middle and working classes felt their rights were denied to them by the clergy and nobility that the middle class joined the proletariat in radicalism. The participation of the French middle class is one of the facets of the Revolution making it unique among all others because it is the only one that won the broad favor of the middle class.
After the middle class had been awarded greater property rights it never again as a class became radicalized. Correctly anticipating the middle class was pacified for good, Marx, Engels, and other Proletarian theorists like Kroptokin, Dzietgen and Proudhon specifically defined their Socialist movements as proletarian.
But for industrial and class theory, the First French Republic was very much the Soviet Union of the 18th century. This is true to such a degree that the French Revolution deserves to be labeled pre-Industrial Communism; its initiatives and subsequent consequences confirm this conclusion –

No, there’s a lot more of it. Specific writers are getting a lot more antisemitic–you can see it with Sailer (who would rarely bring up Jews 10 years ago) or Heartiste (who may or may not be the same guy as Roissy) or Roosh (who was mocking Nazis a few years ago). You can find, on Vox Day’s site, a very civil conversation he had with Jonah Goldberg of NRO where they talk about why the Holocaust didn’t happen in Italy. Even Derb’s started, lately–and he was notorious in that scene for not being antisemitic and wrote about it a few times.
There’s something going on behind the scenes. I don’t know if there’s some antisemitic billionaire throwing money around or Andrew Anglin just got organized. You know, I remember one of these lefty Jewish writers from Russia–I forget if it was Ioffe or Gessen–saying a lot of the alt-right Twitter accounts were originally Russian accounts attacking Ukrainians. I wouldn’t be terribly surprised if the FSB were involved somehow–Putin himself isn’t personally antisemitic, from what I’ve read, but he’d no doubt use any tool that came to hand.

Roissy was a much better site. When it was reborn as Heartiest it went down in quality and obtained a totally different commentariat.
There used to be a lot of nice interesting commentators who balanced out Rossy’s cynicism, but the site is about 60% jew bashing now by content, so not as entertaining as when it was mostly game and anecdotes.
But Roosh’s stuff went downhill to. It was much better when it was anecdotes versus ideology, which is what it has become. Roosh’s stuff as DCBachelor was light hearted and shared the spirit of the time, which was when it was still not too difficult to get laid through club culture. The world has hardened since then and Roosh accurately reflects this, so it’s not all his fault.
Also a lot of the new generation PUAs just suck. It’s like they are boys who never grew up, or they have no unique personality, they are all just Krauser/RSD clones. Millennials are shit.

I think anti-semitism was more popular on the alt-lite (it was always ubiquitous in what’s now called the alt-right) in the 2007-2012 period during Ron Paul’s campaigns for President. But it was usually pretty mild and focused on Israel and “neocons,” and usually wasn’t open (how dare the neocons smear anti-Zionists like me as antisemites?).
My impression is that it was at a fairly low ebb before Trump declared but then when ~95% of Jewish GOP pundits became fanatical #NeverTrumpers it became way uglier. Where previously they just saw “Israel-firsters” (for opposing Ron Paul), now, with their even more hysterical opposition to a candidate not even arguably anti-Israel, anti-semitic or anti-war (for non-insane definitions of “anti-war”), they appeared more like an irredeemably hostile force.
There’s some chicken and egg here with the concentration camp memers on Twitter; I think the responsibility goes 50/50ish.
Another phenomenon that I’d hypothesize is driving more anti-semitic content is the ongoing purge of rightists from “respectable” occupations. A few years ago even Sailer could still occasionally get published in non Taki/Unz outlets, now he’s entirely dependent on reader donations, as are any other edgy pundits with known identities. I strongly suspect that anti-semitic readers are among the most generous donors.
Something to keep in mind is that Sailer, the PUAs, Vox, Spencer and the Nazis combined aren’t 0.5% of the phenomenon that is Breitbart, which is possibly the most philo-semitic gentile-run news organization in human history. Ideas that were only found in obscure blogs 10 years ago are now quasi-mainstream, so the audiences for fringey blogs are necessarily going to get more fringey than a decade earlier.

Right now there’s a hand to hand battle going on in social media. House to house, dorm to dorm, mind to mind. Patriot vs brainwashed SJW zombie and of course, Master’s own revolutionary guard corps. This battle is unknown to us, but it’s clear alt right, nationalist and even the religious and paleos are starting to beat back the SJW wave that prospered under Obama. I CANT BREATHE – famous last words.

You’ll know the sjw stranglehold has ended when saying mean things about gay people is no longer a fireable offense. And mean things here can just mean being opposed to gay marriage because it’s unnatural.

Kind of OT,
At what point did liberals begin to think that immigrating to the United States is a civil right? When did immigration become a sacred cow? Back when Clinton was president, it was agreed by all that illegal immigration was a bad thing. How did that change?

The population of Hispanics went up by 10%.
More people went to college and had to take a grievance studies class. Federal reserve loose monetary policy sent more easily influenced proles to college. Rinse and repeat. Said proles came back to their families brainwashed. Eventually you get a steady creep leftwards.
Defund and destroy the universities now.

Yeah, they figured by packing the country with Hispanics they’d get more Democratic voters. There was a book, The Emerging Democratic Majority, in 2002, that more or less stated it outright.
You can find Paul Gottfried’s review of it in AmCon, which seems really prescient 15 years out.

I think this idea has been brewing for a while, but I think it has gone mainstream just a few months ago. I think we are witnessing history being made. The zeroth amendment in the making. If I am not mistaken, this idea won in most of the EU 5-10 years ago.

I remember the Clinton years – he may have had the political savvy to speak out against illegal immigration, but both the left and Wall Street made sure we did nothing at all to stop it. And don’t forget, until Trump, the GOP has been as strongly pro-immigration as the Democrats. Reagan was a disaster.
My personal theory is that it is not a coincidence that we opened the flood gates in the early 1960s – right about the time when blacks were getting angry and starting to demand a bigger piece of the pie. No business owner wants to hire blacks, nor did we want blacks to have too much political power, so we imported an army of Hispanics and Asians – better behaved, harder working, and they dilute the numbers so that blacks, despite outbreeding whites, still haven’t broken the 15% barrier as a percentage of the population.

“Why is Trump evil but not Bill Clinton?”
What one calls “evil” is merely a reflection of how they feel. When fundamental beliefs and values are violated people have a visceral reaction which causes them to label whatever caused it “evil”. So when liberals call something evil they’re really just throwing a tantrum over hurt feelings. I sometimes call things “evil” too. But it’s different because I understand it.

There’s a good article on the alt-right at Politico.

Better than the inept Bannon/Evola smear that appeared in the New York Times recently.

Why don’t people who despise Bill Clinton realize that Trump is a lot of the same prole BS repackaged for 21st century consumption? I wouldn’t say either of them are “evil”, but they are both narcissistic con-men who pretend to be for the common man while viewing the White House as the world’s greatest money making opportunity. Clinton and Trump are great Americans in the sense that they are directly descended from PT Barnum, George Parker and generations of televangelists. Mark Twain would have loved the Trump Presidency.

A comment I made on another site right before the election seems apt here:
Trump’s just spent the last 16 months fighting the entire global/globalist power structure without yielding to the incalculable pressures against him using only his own personal and financial resources on behalf of what he views as the common good. I can’t think of something more removed from Bill Clinton.

But he hasn’t used a dime of “his own personal and financial resources”. He used other peoples’ money to finance the campaign, cleverly got a huge amount of free advertising, and he is currently billing the US taxpayer ridiculous amounts of money so that Melania can hang out in New York, he can take trips to Florida, his sons can promote the Trump brand. etc. And put Goldman Sachs guys in his cabinet, and an oil man in the State Department – the most “globalist” industries of all. Trump is a pure huckster. Why intelligent people are desperate enough to let themselves be persuaded by an obvious con is the interesting question, and probably testifies to the damage globalization is doing to people’s psyches.

I don’t believe that Trump did this in order to make his business more profitable. Because it just doesn’t make any sense. He did it because he wants to be President. I am sure that, ultimately, being president will cost Trump a lot of money in lost profits for his business.

But his businesses don’t appear to make any real profits, if you believe the debt numbers being thrown around by the Wall Street Journal.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-debts-are-widely-held-on-wall-street-creating-new-potential-conflicts-1483637414
And that doesn’t include unpaid supplier debts, or the $400 million Trump supposedly owes Russia, according to rumors floating around the City of London. My impression is that Trump is a ballsy gambler, who doubled down and just won.
Luckily leftists are too stupid to follow the money, and would rather knit pussy hats and talk about transgender bathrooms. I suspect that Paul Ryan is keeping an accurate accounting though…

I think Trump’s a con-man myself. I just think he was the lesser of two evils back in November, I think it would be beneficial to the country to have an immigration break of a few decades, and I think he’s most likely to do that by shifting the Overton window, as they say. And the professional-managerial-banker-PC-globalist overclass needed a kick in the crotch. Now when MTV tries to run an anti-white commercial, they get deluged with people saying ‘This is why Trump won’. They’re talking about ditching identity politics or at least dialing it down on the left. This is good, just as the left going down in flames in the sixties with the hippies cut short a lot of their anti-Americanism.
But, yeah. Trump steaks? Trump University? America needs Bernie Sanders with his bad hair showing up with posters of Trump’s tweet saying he won’t attack Medicare. There will always be a left and a right. The question is what left and right we are going to have.

Regarding Frank Bruni — He’s a guido and openly gay, only gay guidos lean hardcore liberal among IAs.
He also graduated from the U of SC at Chapel Hill, which is a liberal school in a liberal town, essentially, both the school and the associated college town are an anomaly in the region.

Obviously immigrants that came here to drive out the savage Indians and to settle the land were different then the ones that come to get food stamps(often the same Indians only from Latin America). This is very simple.
Like Lion, I hate censorship. I would rather kill them (the anti-semites), then censor them. However, I’m less sensitive to mild anti-semites because I grew up among realy vicious ones and also because there are a lot of all sorts of Jewish nogoodnicks that are justifiably hateful. I think that if I weren’t Jewish, I would be an anti-semite, most likely. If I dislike gypsies (and who doesn’t?), why wouldn’t I dislike Jews? It’s like the Jews are on the top, the gypsies are on the bottom and the rest of European people are in the middle. Look, the only solution is for the Jewish people is to move to Israel. Millions of Jews roaming around the world is not a good idea. Jews are too smart, they dominate everything. The more the Jews were oppressed, the more they evolved and adapted to thrive under oppression. They are a different species now. Maybe one day the Jews will evolve to a level where they whipe out all anti-semites? No, bad idea. Anti-semites helped make us into who we are today. In the evutionary sense anti-semitism is very beneficial. Better to be an underdog then a top dog. A Jew can never rest on the laurels. If he does, he perishes. I think that just like a Jew is eternal, so is anti-semitism. All our enemies have bitten the dust, but we, a tiny people, are flourishing. Let’s just remind ourselves who those enemies were: Egypt, Assyria, Babylonia, Greece, Rome, Crusaders, Spanish Empire, Russian Empire, the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany.
If Trump were anti-semitic, could he make America great again? NEVER!

I do think a hypothetical non-anti-semitic Hitler could have gotten the Bomb at least. Hard to see who else he would have used as a scapegoat though.
The philosemitic powers (France, England, USA) do seem to have done better overall than the antisemitic powers (the ones you mentioned), but whether that’s cause or effect is anyone’s guess.
