TUCKER CARLSON INTERVIEWED white nationalist podcaster Nick Fuentes on Monday, sitting politely as Fuentes criticized the power of organized Jewry in America. The right-wing internet has been in turmoil ever since.
Suddenly, nothingincluding the racism, Holocaust denialism, and antisemitism Fuentes has championedseems to be too hot for MAGA media to embrace.
That amounts to a catastrophe for more traditional conservative media figures. Breitbarts Joel Pollak declared that the claims Fuentes made that Carlson left unchallenged amounted to the foundation of Nazism. The Daily Wires Andrew Klavan said that Carlsons embrace of Fuentes would doom the right. Writer Rod Dreher wrote that Jewish friends had told him Fuentes is the most dangerous man in America to Jews.
None of those critics has a sliver of the audience and momentum that Fuentes enjoysboth of which will no doubt continue to grow now that Carlson has welcomed him as a reasonable figure worthy of his even larger platform. (Fuentes has 1 million followers on X; Carlson has 16.7 million.) And thats precisely why anyone in the Republican party with a shred of principle left is sounding the alarm. Because, at the most fundamental level, Carlson has just accelerated the rights already prominent tilt toward authoritarianism and hate.

JEWRY Definition & Meaning
Merriam-Webster
https://www.merriam-webster.com dictionary Jewry
noun Jew· ry ˈjü-rē ˈju̇r-ē 1. The Jewish people 2. Plural Jewries : a community of Jews Examples of Jewry in a Sentence
Or just saying you don't like the term, I get it. I don't either. But it is an accepted word.

JustAnotherGen
(38,109 posts)I just shared the fact . . . that the most natural ally of Black Americans are Americans who are Jewish. Shared experience. Both names are in the dictionary - but if Tuckums had used 'n-wordery' instead of Jewery - it would catch heat.

(114,667 posts)I did nothing but respond to what I took to be a question from someone unaware of the word, while likewise giving benefit of the doubt that they were, instead, showing their displeasure with the use of the word as I had.
