What a great convo. I especially loved that they found points to debate. I personally don't agree with Bret Stephens that Trump and Tucker Carlson opened the gates to antisemitism. Great Replacement theory, and "Demographics is Destiny" nonsense was openly promoted by the left for decades. The right merely took notice and called these people out. Eli Lake makes a much stronger case that the leftist gatekeepers ruined their own credibility by calling everything, including all opposition to rampant illegal immigration "white supremacy". One of these preceded the other. Trump was a symptom of rampant anti-institutionalism. The left robs terms of their potency with nonstop boys crying wolf. Kmele brings up the proliferation of leftist hate hoaxes. The hysterical leftist desire for hate crimes was fulfilled by an army of Jussie Smollets. Many conspiracy theories converge around antisemitism but we can't place all the blame on the right. The left has mastered calling everything a conspiracy, until we have proof, like the Twitter Files and Shadowbanning. We are supposed to reject the appeal of Illuminati nonsense but the general structure of an elite cabal controlling the world looks alot like the Woke Tech Cartels colluding to control what is seen on the internet.
