^ citation needed Israel and Jewishness are not synonyms. I’m sure you know that. Be more honest or fuck entirely off.

This incident wasn't about Israel, it was about Wiener's Jewishness. That Jewishness is what allowed an angry crank to whip people into a mob and carry out his personal grudges at a Trans Pride March.

😂

Meacham’s long riffle through the files of the totally familiar is not without some interesting findings. One is his curious conception of American presidents as natural allies of the things that are Good, as he hands down example after example of presidents doing heroic deeds. The office, he tells us, has a power for democratic goodness that is almost magical: he calls it “the mysterious dynamic between the presidency and the people at large” without which “no understanding of American life and politics is possible.” He nails down this mystical point by stringing together one quotation after another in which presidents themselves talk about the majestic office of the presidency.
