THE VIEW FROM HERE - Although most Americans are not anti-Semitic, the Dem Party is rapidly becoming the most Anti-Semitic party in American history. The increasing acceptance of anti-Semitism among Dems arises from its Woke DEI ideology where Whites and Jews are classified as Oppressors and everyone else in the world are victimized Oppressed. President Trump, on the other hand, has been the most pro-Israel President since Harry Truman was the first to recognize the State of Israel in 1948.
As a Centrist, Facts and not Party Labels Are Paramount
Trump has some good policies. (1) Getting rid of the worst of the worst of criminal illegals, (2) making life more affordable for Americans, (3) stopping the war in Ukraine, (4) stopping the Gaza-Israel war which includes eradicating Hamas and stopping Iran from getting nuclear weapons, (5) forcing NATO to step up and fulfil its obligations, (6) ending the racist Woker DEI.
There is not a Trump policy where Trump himself is not the policy’s worst enemy. Trump does not have to listen to Stephen Miller’s racism. The most recent Quinnipiac poll (7-10 to 7-14) says that only 33% of all voters approve of congressional Republicans. Only 40% of GOP approve of Trumps’ actions, while 54% disapprove. The GOP and Trump are underwater with the general public and their own party.
Dems are not doing well worse: Only 21% of all voters approve the Dems with 68% of all voters, disapproving the Dems. “A Wall Street Journal poll published on Friday [July 25, 2025] shows the Democratic Party's image has deteriorated to its lowest point in over three decades. Only 8 percent of registered voters said they view the Democratic Party "very favorably," while 63 percent said it's out of touch with the everyday concerns of Americans. See Newsweek
We need to bear in mind Trump’s erratic behavior. The Dems are running against a certified crazy person. People with mental disorders can function; one need not think that the tree outside is sending them messages about where Jimmy Hoffa is buried in order to have a mental disorder. Because Trump’s sorry mental state is a fact, Centrists need to understand Trump’s erratic behavior.
Using the DSM 5, Trump’s behavior shows that he has two challenges. He is histrionic and narcissistic and these articles on Histrionic and Narcissistic may help one to see why Trump falls into these classifications. Briefly, he craves the limelight which is why he’ll give a news conference at the drop of the hat. Histrionics are also flamboyant and speak in superlatives and truncated phrases. They think they have close relationships with others; in reality Putin despises Trump. Histrionics are superficial with little analytic ability and hence they frequently make illogical and irrelevant statements, while wandering far off topic. When opposed, Narcissists fly into rages, but most narcissistic rages subside over time, but not Trump’s. He is still furious at Zelenskyy because Zelenskyy would not interfere with the US 2016 elections. Trump is still fixated on the 2020 election and his hatred of Obama.
Yet, Americans Still Dislike the Dems More than Trumpism
The reason is that Americans hate Woke DEI. Integral to emerging Dem platform for November 2026 is Anti-Semitism Wokeism is anti-Semitism. While Wokeism is built on the Soviet Marxism and German Nazism model, Dem Wokeism is much closer to German Nazism since hating Jews is basic tenet of both. Americans selected Trump in 2024, because Wokeism is opposed to individual inalienable rights and hence merit. Under Wokeism everyone’s rights depend on whether one is classified as an Oppressor (Whites and Jews) vs as an Oppressed (all minorities including Hamas). Thus, raping babies and burning them alive is OK if one is Oppressed.
After the election loss in November 2024, some Dems urged the party to drop Woke DEI, but it seems that the die has been cast, and the Dem Party is going full anti-Semitic Woke. They won’t repudiate Zohran Mamdani’s support for “Globalize the Intifada.” We know what the anti-Semitic meme means. Just as “Free Palestine” mean to murder the Jews and wipe out the state of Israel, “Globalize the Intifada” means to kill all Jews anywhere in the world. The Woke core of the party is pleased with this approach. The closest parallel would be if during WW II political candidates supported the Nazi death camps and said that others should adopt the Nazi’s Final Solution. Both
Hamas charters call for the extermination of Jews and not for a two-state solution. The Palestinians and Hamas have been consistent about one thing – death to Jews. From before the time that the Grand Mufti visited Hitler, the demand has always been a One State solution – a state that was judenrein.
The fact that Trump supports Israel and Trump is serious about stopping Iran from getting nuclear weapons enrages the Dems. In addition to Woke Ideology, the Dems and their media allies adopt their anti-Jewishness to highlight their hatred of Trump. The latest media Blood Libel is that Israel is starving Gazans, and the media shows pictures of children who are obviously starving. When ABC’s news segment appeared early this week, the falsity of the report was obvious. Their main person to interview was a Gazan female doctor who claimed her own children were malnourished. She showed her son’s picture and he clearly healthy and smiling. More telling was the fact that she was very well fed; her checks were plump. Her eyebrows were perfection; her hair and rest of her face looked at if she were going to walk the red carpet at the Oscars. If people are starving, why is she wasting money on make-up? Then, ABC showed the starving children with their mothers. Although the mothers were covered from head to toe, their upper faces and forearms were plumb with no sign of malnutrition. One commentator who was viewing the video in studio did ask, “How can the children be starving when the mothers are obviously well-fed?” When ABC aired the same news report today, it edited out the Oscar lady and there was no film of the plump mothers with starving children – just photo after photo of starving children. Also, look at film of the Gazans themselves. Even most of the stock photos of children with buckets for some poured liquid, the crowd photos show that they are not starving. Earlier this year, the media was caught using old filming from the Syria civil war and saying the suffering people were in Gaza. [BTW, the Syrian civil war is where Obama drew his red line and when Assad crossed it to murder 202,000 civilians, Obama did nothing.] ABC aired a video saying that the IDF was firing upon and killing Gazans who came for food, but their own film clip showed that the IDF was firing well above their heads and hitting a barren hilltop far behind them in order to stop a stampede which Hamas had started.
Other facts which the Woke media suppress is that Hamas has been stealing the food for years now. The UN and the NGO’s give the humanitarian aid to Hamas who then sells it to Gazans. The Oscar lady related how one Western news correspondent had to spend $147 to buy enough food for four burritos. Ooops. Faux pas! Because IDF gives away the food, the only people whom the correspondent could pay $147 for burritos is Hamas. That story was likewise deleted in this morning’s version.
The problem with the current Humanitarian Aid arrangement is that Hamas is murdering Gazans who come to the aid distribution centers and then the media blames Israel. These media Blood Libels have been happening for years. Joe Biden was one of the worst offenders. See Biden’s Blood Libels
When the Syrian Islamists recently launched of Oct 7th style genocide attempt on the Druze, only Israel came to their rescue. The media did not portray the IDF as stopping the Druze genocide, but instead it complained about Israeli militarism against the new Syrian government. As one Woke newscaster said, “The only thing that the IDF can think of it to bomb people.”
Not only is Wokeism intrinsically anti-Semitic, but the other reason for the recent increased the news barrage is to attack Trump. When Hamas refuses to budge from its one state solution where Israel ceases to exist, the media blames Trump’s negotiators for “walking away from the cease-fire talks.” Has anyone heard the Woke media admit that Hamas has always placed the extermination of Jews as its sole purpose? The Trump administration has been clear that Hamas caused the war and the suffering of the Gazans. If at any time between Oct 8 and today, Hamas had laid down its arms and surrendered, not another Gazan would have been harmed. Hamas daily commits the war crimes of holding hostages and of using its own people as shields. Nonetheless, Woke US media mangles, twists, and distorts reality in order to support Hamas. They think this approach will be a winner in November 2026.
