BUT MAGA ASSURED US THEY WERE THE FUTURE...:

In Arizona, all 4 Republicans whose candidacies unsettled Jews have lost (RON KAMPEAS, DECEMBER 29, 2022, JTA)

Kari Lake, the one-time TV newsreader who ran for governor, posed for a photo with a Nazi sympathizer and told him on Twitter, "It was a pleasure to meet you, too!" She endorsed and then withdrew her endorsement of an Oklahoma candidate who called Jews "evil." She lost to Democrat Katie Hobbs.

Mark Finchem, who ran for secretary of state, proudly accepted the endorsement of Andrew Torba, the openly antisemitic founder of the Gab social media platform. The Phoenix Jewish Community Relations Council in September criticized Finchem for spreading "antisemitic tropes" by claiming Democrats are controlled by George Soros and Mike Bloomberg, both Jewish megadonors. He lost to Democrat Adrian Fontes.

Blake Masters lost his bid to unseat Sen. Mark Kelly, a Democrat who is married to Gabrielle Giffords, the Jewish former congresswoman who was shot in 2011 and who now leads a gun control group. Jewish Insider uncovered an article Masters wrote in 2006 for a publication in which he cites a "poignant" quote by Nazi official Hermann Goering. The publication is owned by Lew Rockwell, the libertarian who is believed to have written content for Ron Paul that included racist and antisemitic tropes.

The poor Trumpists assume everyone is as hate-filled as they are.
