The share of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents who believe that President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win was not legitimate has ticked back up, according to a new CNN poll fielded throughout July. All told, 69% of Republicans and Republican-leaners say Biden’s win was not legitimate, up from 63% earlier this year and through last fall, even as there is no evidence of election fraud that would have altered the outcome of the contest.

    Pointing out that Nazis don’t want to compromise with Jews, and Jews don’t want to compromise with Nazis is not a “both sides are the same” argument. One side is clearly in the right, and the other side is clearly in the wrong. They aren’t at all the same.

    The “echo chamber” point I was making is that in our modern public discourse, the “Jews” are only talking to other Jews, and the “Nazis” are only listening to other Nazis. Neither side is actually engaging the other, and the political spectrum is becoming absurdly polarized as a result.

      So you say that the Jews should talk with the Nazis so that they maybe tone down the whole Endlösung thing a bit?

        I’m saying that the algorithms that just show us the content we want to see have killed political discourse. I’m saying that when we kick, ban, block, ignore, don’t-even-read, and otherwise censor ideas we don’t like, we are actively contributing to the polarization of the political spectrum. We are complicit in creating the echo chambers.

        When a Nazi walks up to a synagogue and is turned away at the door, a Nazi walks away. When he is “engaged”, he will walk away a former Nazi, or he will be running, or he will be carried out.
