I'm not sure how these address my point. I am saying that left-coded and right-coded are not immutable characteristics.

Would anybody like 50 Blow Pops?

Not going to pretend like I'm happy about the outcome, but that was just an absolutely magnificent series.

This is one of my favorites. They think $20 billion or whatever would actually pay for every American to have healthcare.

The actual reason that Americans don't have healthcare, of course, is because they refuse to vote for politicians who will give it to them. Easier to blame Jews, though.

In an alternate timeline where America has super powerful unions, clamping down on illegal immigration could be a left-leaning issue.

It's a fair point, but also "left" and "right" aren't always fixed entities, even though policies are. We tend to assume, for instance, that being anti-immigration is right-wing issue simply because it currently is.

My friend, this is like going to a Mexican restaurant and saying you want Chinese food. They don't have that. You have to choose from what's actually on the menu.

Under a romantic photo of herself embracing her husband, Kristen Bell wrote, “Happy 12th wedding anniversary to the man who once said to me: ‘I would never kill you. A lot of men have killed their wives at a certain point. Even though I’m heavily incentivized to kill you, I never would.’”

Imagine if someone said "I hate the United States of America and think it should be destroyed." This is far, far different from just hating Trump.

That is basically what's occurring here. You think you're saying "I hate Trump." But you're really saying "I hate America."

It's got nothing to do with Bibi. To be anti-Zionist is literally to be opposed to the existence of the state of Israel itself. This is what I'm trying to communicate to you. It's really important you understand this.

One of the really interesting thing about biases and prejudices is that most people truly don't think they have them. Because they are implicit and institutional, so it doesn't feel like a prejudice at all.

Which is pretty clearly antisemitic. I understand that's probably not your intent, but that's what some people will hear.

Unfortunately the term has been co-opted to mean something along the lines of Kahanism, which is very different. So, for a lot of folks, when you say I am anti-Zionist, you are in effect saying that you want Israel to be wiped off the face of the earth.
