Here's my conundrum: How does Dr. Aviva Dautch, the Director and publisher of Jewish Renaissance, the leading Jewish arts magazine in the UK, understand what's happening here from across the Atlantic Ocean when tens of millions of people here who are not MAGA seem not to get it?
Also in the UK, George Orwell -- who has been fucking DEAD for 75 years -- still gets it from the grave: "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
Meanwhile, what do we have over here? This Newsweek headline from June 8 pretty much sums it up: "75 Democrats Express 'Gratitude' to ICE in Antisemitism Vote Amid LA Riots." Some day in the far future an alien cultural anthropologist examining the ruins of Earth, will turn one of she/he/it's heads toward a colleague and remark, "They had a term for this. They called it 'Stockholm Syndrome.' They just couldn't recognize it when it was happening, apparently."
