So we're just doing open raging Islamphobia now because a guy won a primary in Michigan, right?

And mate, I don't mean the GOP - you tell me the media would be covering this, this way, if it were any other marginalized group. Even the marginalized groups libs still shit on - you'd never get away with saying this shit out loud and treating it as newsworthy and debatable - yet that's the tone to all this coverage of El-Sayed's campaign.

And we're definitely doing it ON PURPOSE, and the lib media doing it KNOWS what they're doing. Here for example is a piece published in the SAME PAPER on the SAME DAY as we decided to treat Abdul El-Sayed responding to the Vice President essentially calling him a swarthy menace just because of his ethnicity while doing a dual loyalty trope these nazis usually reserve for Jewish targets of their ire, as potentially legit.

So? They know exactly what they are doing.

Go back to that first article again okay? The Vice President of the United States just said a US Senate candidate was inherently "evil" and then started talking about Islam, the implication being obvious. And now read the article - notice how Vances claims and AES's rebuttal are given EQUAL WEIGHT in the presentation, like either one might be true? Notice they spend more time on "shit Abdul has apologized for" even tho VANCE is the guy doing unacceptable racism?

The media in on the job.

(Okay I take that back - the whole establishment talks this way about trans people too. So "any other marginalized group but trans people." Sorry, I make a habit of not centering MY personal struggle when we're talking about antifascism and that has weird side effects when the fascists are obsessed with using trans people as the thin end of the wedge for the 4th Reich. Been a problem for half a decade now.)
