If you as a leftist can understand that

the Trump administration is using the concept of violence against women to oppress transgender people and strip back civil rights

AND violence against women is a real societal issue that needs to be taken seriously, especially when women's safety and autonomy is directly attacked by the same right wing politicians claiming to care about it to further their agenda

Then you can also understand that

the Trump administration is using the concept of antisemitism to perpetuate oppress activists and strip back freedom of speech

AND antisemitism is a real societal issue that needs to be taken seriously, especially when Jewish safety is directly attacked by the same right wing politicians claiming to care about it to further their agenda

Right? ...Right??

#the right is using real issues to perpetuate harm but that doesn't negate that these are in fact real issues??? hello???#the amount of leftists I've seen fully claim that concerns about antisemitism are right-wing propaganda is insane to me #y'all cannot be this stupid #the right is USING women and Jews not protecting them. we're being scapegoated and you're falling for it #our real experiences of oppression being appropriated for propaganda by the right does not negate its reality or importance #and dismissing it leaves groups doubly vulnerable to attacks from the right when there's zero support or action from the left #jumblr #jewish #antisemitism #antizionism #us politics #trump administration #leftism #leftist #antifascist
