I hope antisemitism destroys itself and the progressives. They have been exposed for being the most racist and anti American people on planet earth. They are total fools and their movement is slowly waning and being rejected by the majority of the American people

The progressive movement jumped the shark with the concept of intersectionality, a notion popularized by Kimberlé Crenshaw, but with intellectual roots going back to "postcolonialists" (Said, Spivak Fanon, et al) and Critical Race Theory (Bell, et al).

Intersectionality mindlessly conflates "privilege" and "oppression" with material success: if you're successful, it's only because you're an oppressor who did something nefarious. This leads to the absurd conclusion that Asians and Jews, because of their relative success, are oppressors, with a perch high on the intersectional ladder (never mind the historic discrimination they have faced). Unsurprisingly, hate crimes against both these groups have surged as our institutions (and particularly our universities) have adopted and disseminated the intersectionality myth.
