The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The home of antisemitism in the United States is the political left. That’s 100% correct. ~Dope

Nobody projects like a conservative...
Hatred and ignorance, (They always go together) is right-wing brand.
Conservatives are the folks who brought us the KKK and slavery and Jim Crowe and the Southern Strategy and strict voter ID requirements, and the purging of voter rolls,
and lies about Haitian immigrants, and "Jewish space lasers", and all manner of antisemitic George Soros conspiracy theory's and nazi salutes and on an on.

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."

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.

SAD!
