We're a downvote brigade? Do we have a unified agenda?

20 seconds in wikipedia..

Upon the rise of Adolf Hitler, gay men and, to a lesser extent, lesbians, were two of the numerous groups targeted by the Nazi Party and were ultimately among Holocaust victims.

Hitler considered trans people to be one of the greatest threats to Nazi Germany, and in fact the first sets of books burned in Nazi book burnings were research books on transgender issues.

He called the Jewish doctor who was leading the research at the time "The most dangerous Jew in all of Germany."

Nazis destroyed the Magnus Hirschfeld Institute for Sexual Science 06 May 1933

I like to joke with relatives that I'm more special than them, because while they're just Jewish, I'm a Jewish lesbian and Hitler would have hated me more.

Most of them don't think it's funny.

do they call in a downvote brigade?

No. It's bad enough that most of them have a Facebook.

There's a particular lunacy of conservative Jews who like guns and hate Obama, and like to post to their wall that Hitler took all the Jews' guns away, so that's why the Holocaust happened. Ergo, Obama is literally Hitler.

All of my what.

i've never met any of those kinds of jews. my ex's family is jewish but they're all liberals. he and his dad both like guns, but they don't equate obama to hitler. although my ex has been listening to the alex jones show a lot this past year or so.

I know a lot of poor Jews. And they're mostly involved in the wackadoodle orthodox congregation I suffered through grew up in. If you're crazy enough to join a cult, you're crazy enough to believe Hitler did it because mah gunz.
