Well that is funny. I don't think anything is unusual about this election at all. After all...from my perspective...both sides are just jews. I don't see how trumps policies were remarkably different from Obama (which was quite similar to reagan)...and to be honest I don't see how Biden policies are different from trumps. The most significant event was covid which caused a brief slow down in immigration...but I don't think either president caused that to happen.maineman » 18 Mar 2024, 4:15 pm » wrote: ↑ If this were a normal election, I would agree with you. I just happen to believe that, after what we witnessed for four years (2016-2020) and what we witnessed on January 6th, 2021, Donald Trump is SO FAR outside the bounds of normality that if we consider this as just another election, we do so at our peril.
I am far from pleased that my party has an 81-year-old man as its standard bearer. I applaud his choices of cabinet advisors and I believe his genuine decency and his thoughtful demeanor will keep him between the guard rails for four years until we can get to the inevitable generational handoff that will come in 2028. I am not at all confident that we can get there if the 81-year-old loses.
if there is any dispute within the Jewish community it is between the chabad jews who support trump...who would argue that jewish power has reached a high point so they need to go ahead and hurry up the final stages of their agenda...versus the more optics minded jews who are concerned that rushing would provoke a global backlash that would threaten jewish power.
the interests of my own people (white people) are not relevant or considered in that debate. If I could pick a potential 'leader' (and presidents have never been anything like an actual leader) I suppose it would be something like Adolf Hitler...but I don't have such an option...so I am simply indifferent.
