Their attacks on George Soros reek of antisemitism and jealousy. Soros has used his money to support civil society and small d democratic initiatives. He does not support Communism or socialism, but his attackers are totally unable to see this. Soros even funded a fellowship which allowed Viktor Orbán to attend a graduate program on participating in a democratic parliamentary system. Unfortunately, when Orbán came to power, he started turning his back on a democratic system in Hungary and started on the road to dictatorship. Orbán seems to have taken Hungary’s interwar leader, Miklós Horthy, as his role model for prime minister.

I suspect his support of civil society is precisely why he is under such constant attack, plus the ubiquitous Anti-Semitism we must endure in this maga era. I wonder just what a Jew ever did to hurt one of these goons. Of course, they believe everything they hear from childhood forward. Surely not a shred of critical thinking has ever crossed their walnut-sized brains.

I definitely think they are attacking George Soros for supporting civil society initiatives. MAGA views these like poison.

Scott Bessent worked for Soros and now he's -what- secretary of the treasury, vetted by heritage foundation and donold.
