The far right is a pretty splintered group, and when you look even a little to the right of principled centrists you quickly get into serious horseshoe political theory territory. The 'Bush republicans' are very pro-Israel, but the 'election was stolen, covid is a conspiracy' post-Trump republicans aren't from that generation and aren't nearly as rational.

- TylerE 5y agoThe Trumpists are actually among the most pro-Israel, but it's mostly an "owning the libs" thing, not out of any actual love of Jews.
- andrew_ 5y agoHow can you possibly suppose to quantify this statement?
- TylerE 5y agoTrump declared himself the most pro-Israel president in american history. That seems pretty definitive.
- andrew_ 5y agoYou claimed that "Trumpists" in general, in totality, are only pro-Isreal because it's an "owning the libs" thing. You have zero metrics or sources to back that up. You cannot claim to know the mind of every person who supports Trump. This tribalism has fucking brainwashed people. It's maddening.
- ars 5y ago> not out of any actual love of Jews. Other than, you know, his daughter? Who is Jewish? Or do you imagine he doesn't love his daughter?
- CamperBob2 5y agoHis daughter is about as Jewish as ... never mind.

- TylerE 5y agoYour're missing the distinction between Trump and Trump supporters.
- andrew_ 5y agoPlease cease with the petty tribal idealistic mud slinging.
