“What seemed to bother Shapiro, more than any one detail, was Harris portraying him in
ways consistent with the whispers that had dogged him throughout the vetting process and
throughout his career: that he was selfish, petty, and monomaniacally ambitious,” observed Alberta.
Sole comment i can offer: Nooooooo Waaaaaay. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. Interpret that how you like.
Given that they’d known each other a long time—’20 years,’ Shapiro said with a groan—I asked
whether he felt betrayed.”
“I mean, she’s trying to sell books and cover her ass,” he declared before, Alberta reported, backtracking out of disgust with himself. “I shouldn’t say ‘cover her ass.’ I think that’s not appropriate.”
That part is true. Harris was given the Presidency basically. And she and the Pronoun Bullies were horrible. And lost.

Echota,
The reality that Shapiro want to admit was that he was never really in the running for the V.P. nomination because he is Jewish.
The Democrat Party is now the party of overt, ingrained anti-Semitism.

It's certainly louder on the Left. But i was laughing at some of the 'rumors' about him that the link mentioned- I just laughed, said nothing more. Nothing more needs to be said. The quite part is loud as hell.

Calling me "anti semetic" for that - -go join Sharpton and Jesse Jackson shouting "Anti Ebolic" for every comment too. Hey, yeah, why can't we all have cool designations like "anti semetic" . Why isn't it Anti-Ebolic. AntiPotatoish. AntiRiceARoni. AntiCurryUpFixMyComputer. Why doesn't each group get thier designation too.

The home of antisemitism in the United States is the political left. That’s 100% correct.
It’s also correct to say that some right wingers are starting that up (Tucker Carlson). The difference is that righties reject it while liberals either agree with it or are too cowardly to stand up to their base. I suspect it’s 40/60.

Take a drive through Dearborn and tell me what locals say about Israel while you're there. Dearborn used to have an Arabic festival each summer. Fun, family, event offering a variety of middle eastern foods, clothes, and music.
Then Christian nutters started showing up, trying to provoke incidents.
The city had to cancel the event, for public safety, because of the Christian nutters.

This year, Pastor Terry Jones, the man widely known for burning the Qur'an, promised to attend.

Condemning the murder of tens of thousands of Palestinian men, women and children is not anti-semitic. And given the anger, I can understand, though not condone statements like “Death to the Jews”.
Hell, one fake story of Haitians eating dogs and cats in Springfield Ohio and the right erupted in bomb threats and clamored to have them all sent back to Haiti. And this lynch mob was led by Donald Trump and JD Vance
Tens of thousands of real deaths vs one fake story about Haitians, dogs and cats.

100% of the Jewish folks in Congress could be democrats, and the left could still be full of antisemites.The stats don't support your empty statements, unless you're narrowly selective and don't look at the overall picture - which some people do and simply wave their hand at all else.
"Recent studies indicate that while antisemitism exists across the political spectrum, antisemitic attitudes have historically been found to be more prevalent on the political right among the general US public, though incidents linked to the far-left have surged recently, particularly those tied to anti-Israel activism."
That sounds right, confirms what many have said here and my views.
"Key Findings from Recent Data (2024-2025)
Overall Attitudes: For a long time, research suggested that mainstream liberals and conservatives held the lowest levels of antisemitism, with higher rates among those with no ideological orientation.
However, a 2021 YouGov survey commissioned by Tufts University found that respondents on the right were more likely than those on the left to believe longstanding antisemitic stereotypes, such as Jews having too much power.https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/conser..."Authoritarianism/Conspiratorial Thinking: Some research suggests that a better predictor of antisemitism is not the right-left dichotomy, but rather an adherence to conspiratorial worldviews and authoritarian tendencies, which can be found at both ends of the political spectrum."
All the nutters muttering about George Soros from the US I've known have been right wing. But the far left has conspiracy theorists. IIRC you talked about one conspiracy theory, but I can't remember which one.
"Overall, traditional antisemitic stereotypes have been found to be more common on the right, but the recent surge in antisemitic incidents has been largely driven by expressions of anti-Jewish sentiment within far-left anti-Israel activism."
But in Dope world the opposite is true.

Who could forget all the young republicans literally telling us that "they love Hitler!"...
"I love Hitler: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans racist chat"
"Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape."
https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/14/private-c...Heck, Donald Trump was endorsed twice by former KKK leader David Duke and by the "Crusader" the official newspaper of the KKK.
Just another example of Dope using his old favorite: The ostrich effect!
The ostrich effect is a cognitive bias where people avoid or ignore negative or potentially unpleasant information by metaphorically burying their heads in the sand.
This avoidance of reality helps them evade short-term emotional discomfort but often leads to worse consequences later on.
