ThinkProgress Senior Editor Is Scared of His Plumber
Free Beacon ^ | 1/15/17 | Follow

Posted on 01/15/2017 6:25:13 AM PST by pabianice

A visit from a plumber left ThinkProgress senior editor Ned Resnikoff “rattled” due to fear that the plumber may have voted for Donald Trump.

Resnikoff said his fear was rooted in the chance that the plumber knew he was Jewish.

“While I had him in the apartment, I couldn’t stop thinking about whether he had voted for Trump, whether he knew my last name is Jewish, and how that knowledge might change the interaction we were having inside my own home,” he said.

The “uncertainty” of the situation left Resnikoff “rattled for some time.”

“I have no real reason to believe he was a Trump supporter or an anti-Semite, but in my uncertainty I couldn’t shake the sense of potential danger,” he wrote. “I was rattled for some time after he left.”

[This is the damage done by Morris Dees and the Southern Poverty Law Center. They’ve demonized every single aspect of conservative life and written absolutely lurid direct mail fundraising letters to frighten primarily Jewish people into donating. They’re very good at shaking that money tree, but not concerned in the least about morality and ethics. They have none, despite all the squealing to the contrary. Just virtue-signaling cultural marxists.]

Oh man, did you hit that nail on the head. I work for a supposedly highly educated Jewish family that fits this to a tee. Its actually hilarious the paranoia they have. They get Dees’ magazine.

Doesn’t he have a safe space to run to in such instances?

What a pathetic, paranoid, and ultimately dangerous person. He’s the type who would murder someone, and justify it on the grounds that the person MIGHT have voted for Trump.

Is their no end to the lunacy of the weak LIB lefties? I laugh at their weakness and predict that they will live their lives in constant fear. What mental, moral, psychological and logical weaklings. Lunatics.

Being a plumber can't be racial inducing. Look up the definition of racist. That word is used way too much by people who don't know the meaning.

I’ve long thought that many of them secretly hate their Jewish identity (due to all the culturally-enshrined memories of pogroms and persecution in the Old Country, plus the more general issue of growing up “different” from everyone else) but don’t have the guts to shed themselves of it entirely and assimilate.

Peaceful coexistence with these asshats isn’t possible. We should stop trying.

Keep in mind that he probably did NOT actually think this way.

Nevertheless, he WRITES that he did so as to get lib saps to think this type of thing is a REAL concern, as opposed to propaganda.

One thing I have learned is that when someone puts their “Jewish-ness” front and center is to ask them to explain the nature or provenance of it. Seriously, is it an identity, is it a faith, is it a religion, is it a culture, is it a citizenship? Do they believe in God? What do they think of Israel? Outside of east coast elitist liberal “Jewish-ness” the politics get much less defined.

A certain amount of paranoia is warranted, especially among the older generations, though. It might even have a hereditary component, given the sheer hell and forced thinning out that they’ve experienced as a people. I’ll give them some benefit of the doubt. I won’t, however, extend the same courtesy to the SPLC. They’re tormenting these people for money, and pretending to be white knights in the process. Evil.

This “showflake” could use a dash of COMMON SENSE. Trump’s
daughter is married to a Jewish man; in fact, she is also a
Jew. - The Clinktons are more likely to dislike Jews. In
fact, Hitler-y, like Obama, favors Islamists, apparently
as long as they don’t scale her high wall at Chappaqua &
only blow up us “infidels”.
