Anti-semitic Kentucky Republican 'meant absolutely no harm' with his misogynist rant against women's access to health care; apparently, stands by his alternate history of the Holocaust

One thing I also missed is how adaptable it was. I knew all about the Blood Libel, for example, but it was only until I started reading about Qanon that I realised that not only was it a new variant but that a disturbingly large number of Americans had accepted it.

I wish I could find it now, but somewhere I read a remarkable summary about how all this stuff always comes back to anti-Semitism. Even flat earth, anti-vax, wi-fi allergies and other nonsense. When you start interviewing those people and really getting to the roots of their fears, it ends up being about “the Jews” way, way more often than mainstream people realize.
