January 6 was like a much dumber version of Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch and yet a plurality of American voters were like, Yeah, let’s give that guy the nuke codes again. An absolutely world historical debacle of societal ignorance. I’ll never understand it.

It's fucking Hanukkah, there was a mass shooting of Jews literally the other day, and one of the largest sports reporting organizations in the U.S. won't mention the insanely anti-Semitic thing that happened while discussing the story!
Yeah, @theathletic.com? "Popular streamers" Adin Ross? Not gonna mention the 'Covetous Jew Dance' that the same 'popular streamer' had Puka do live? The actual reason this is blowing up? We're just gonna glaze over the anti-Semitism? That's a choice - and exactly why all of my NYT subs are cancelled
