It’s really not funny. Daughter of Holocaust victims here.

Omg! My apologies; I had to do some searching to figure out what you were referring to. There really are no lines that some power hungry people won’t cross. Now I’m even more frightened about what the Project 2025 monsters have in store for us

Project 2025 was began by the Kochs and Leonard Leo. It was then introduced to The Heritage Foundation of which Leo was the head of. The foundation is set up on many Ivy League campuses and colleges all over the US to influence young students. It’s an indoctrination society (ie: Federalist Society) into the world of white people thinking they’re so oppressed now. They see the writing on the wall that the white population is diminishing with interracial relationships producing mixed race and cultures children. They can’t stand that religion is being threatened also. Especially, the Catholic religion is being questioned because of its sexual crimes against women and children, male and female. They have created and promoted Christian nationalism as it’s “their way or the highway”. I lost my grandparents in WWII, my mother’s parents. They were gassed in a van with 9 others at the camp known as Chelmno. They lost their lives for being Jews just like Blacks lost theirs in lynchings. Whites really do not have the greatest track record, as you can imagine. We have to keep these criminals at bay. We just have to!

The thought of you loosing your parents and grandparents like that is sickening and angering. I’m not being successful at fighting back tears for you. ~g

I'm not sure I understand why you didn't pick up on the Nazi reference in the first place. Didn't you read the entire substack? Jeff made the allusions to Nazi concentration camps quite clear, with photographs to illustrate. Aside from that, why would you think pitting migrants against each other or UFC fighters as entertainment for Dump and his MAGAts was funny to begin with?

Ouch! I went back to read the entire post more carefully, and you are right: what was I thinking. I deserve to be skewered for my tone-deaf post. I’m embarrassed, and think I had better be more informed about world affairs to be posting on such an esteemed platform. Thank you for pointing that out.
