This is a classic populist playbook built on polarization and fracturing targeted communities. Given that Jewish Americans have historically voted Democratic, Trump has found a way to put his finger on the Achilles heel of a Jewish community witnessing the denigration of the only Jewish and democratic state. Through his divisive and manipulative tactics, he is attempting to position himself as the savior of Israel at a time when progressive democrats have labeled Israel as the villain in the Israel-Hamas war. Rebranding Hamas as the face of post-colonialist resistance plays perfectly into the hands of Trump's Christian pseudo-saviors pandering to Jewish fears and anxiety. That’s why Trump is able to divide and conquer using fear and intimidation of Jews and playing to evangelical and Christian End Times ideology. Balancing the pro-Israel and white supremacist camps is no easy feat, and explains the casual antisemitism meant to message his base that he’s still with them.

If you’re ever in a moment of conflict, pull out a Venn diagram, they’ll just help you sort things out.” This is not the first time Harris has professed affection for this logical mechanism. As a former courtroom lawyer who needed to be able to clearly demonstrate complicated inferences to juries in a way that anyone could follow, Attorney General Harris would have found Venn diagrams to be the perfect tool. [Read about it](~/AASU4wA~/RgRojJ49P0RnaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvd2Vobnd2YTV5My8_bGhfYWlkPTEyMjk1OSZsaF9jaWQ9ZXIwbno4MDZkNiZsaF9lbT10cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW44NSU0MGdtYWlsLmNvbVcDc3BjQgpmqT4ZqmYb8wA0Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW44NUBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAACg~).
