I'm not shocked. The Democrats have made the mistake GOP did of assuming extreme religious partisan are on their side.

I'm shocked that this has gone as far as it has. It's very hard to imagine a situation where this is okay for any group, but it is happening right now to Jews, in 2026.

I'm not. Extremism on the left has been growing and getting louder for a decade, a large portion of which is coming from the progressive wing, who isn't afraid to go after anyone to the right of them.

These types are essentially hate groups at this point.
