    It’s so weird that they always fixate on one billionaire’s (Soros) political activities and ignore the political activities of other much richer millionnaires (Musk, Cochs, etc). It’s almost as if the guy they fixate on and try to demonize is Jewish or something.

      Let’s be real, this isn’t grounded in logic at all. Soros is just a useful bogeyman in order to rile up the voter base.

        Never has been. I’m just pointing out the underlying antisemitism here. They’re never picking on Warren Buffet or Melinda Gates, arguably much more outspoken Democrats. They’re picking on the jewish guy.

          Very fair, It’s alarming to me that based on recent elections, this man reflects the views in Florida. Down right repugnant.

          The “logical” parts of bigotry are meant to both whitewash bigots in the eyes of moderates, spectators, etc., many of whom believe bigotry = prejudice without reason; and to further torment their victims.
