And no if you are expecting me to bow down to appeals to authority that isn’t going to happen. Especially when what is presented is opinion pieces with vague evidence at best that seem more like they are searching for connections rather than actually providing them.

These are people with experience with anti jewish pogroms, with experience under regimes like Putin that used rhetoric to incite violence against political opponents. We don’t have RCTs on political rhetoric and incitement of violence (impossible expectations)this is what we got.

Not what I said mark lol. There is a difference bt saying having an experience with an issue is valuable and making appeals to authority. And when your argument starts to consist of “she has more experience than you” you have moved to the latter. But we are going in

But please by all means address one of them? Where is the link bt a man who didn’t support trump and trumps speech that didn’t mention soros and anti semitism. It is also interesting Bc the sources you provided even stated that the soros caravan theory started outside of trump.

Trump referred to the Soros conspiracy promoted by Gaetz in a right wing Soros conspiracy video, he had previously said Soros specifically paid antiKavanaugh protesters. He is amplifying CT. Even if this guy isn’t a Trump voter POTUS has enormous power to amplify messages.

Now, history (sorry if that isn’t hard evidence because it’s based on experience), mass violent movements and genocidal movements are predicated on conspiracy theories. From blood libel to the Protocols of the Elders of zion, promotion of such precedes pogroms.

Yup. One favorite conspiracy theory that Hitler used to justify the Holocaust was the profoundly ahistorical "stab in the back" story, in which Germany was supposedly winning WWI until it was "stabbed in the back" by Jews and Communists, who prevented it from winning.
