      4. Trump has been properly labeled racist but there's little discussion of his anti-Semitism. Instead, anti-Semitism seen only in alt-right

      5. Part of the reason is that since World War II, Americans used to thinking about racism as a fringe phenomenon in their society.

      7. Sorry in point #5, I meant anti-Semitism, not racism, became fringe after World War II

      8. Also Trump has a personal story that gives him some immunity: Jewish daughter, son-in-law, grand kids.

      9. As always, it think it's best to see racism & anti-Semitism as public ideologies rather than personal vices.

      10. George Wallace, for example, turned his racism on and off as was politically expedient. It wasn't personal, but matter of politics.

      11. In Trump's case, important to understand that anti-Semitism is structurally necessary for the type of right-wing populism he's selling.

      12. Rightwing populism is, to borrow a phrase, "the socialism of fools."

      13. The socialism of fools is the socialism of those who want scapegoat some capitalists for problems but keep overall capitalist system.

      14. In imaginary of right-wing populism, there are good nationalist businessmen (Trump) & bad internationalist businessmen (((guess who)))

          14. Further the wealthy, conspiratorial international Jew is necessary because racists see other groups as inferior.

          15. The racist imagination sees Blacks & Mexicans as inferior, so they can't be the evil masterminds. Has to be another group.

          So b/c some Jews play prominent roles in globalism, globalism cannot be criticized? Far more photos of gentiles than Jews in ad.

          Read Josh Marshall's analysis. Only identifiable non-americans non-politicians are Jews.
