In Germany as the Brown Shirt bully’s were beginning to declare that the Semites were truly a cause for the economic woes of the Fatherland, many rich Jewish families felt that because of their personal wealth, they might be exempt from the bias and bigotry their less financially and unfortunate Jewish brethren should endure. Somehow it seemed that having more money could make the difference between freedom or consequences. Eventually, as history demonstrated, the same very prominent Jewish families of wealth, unless they were able to flee Germany, became the victims and enemy of the state just like their poorer Jews.
Bernie Marcus and Sheldon Adelson are two American billionaires, both successful business men, who also happen to be Jewish. Both Bernie and Sheldon have decided to support a candidate for the office of president, who has been and is still supported by White Nationalists, The American Nazi Party, The Aryan Nation and the Ku Klux Klan, groups of men and women who believe that the United States would be a whole lot better off if we rid this nation of the Jews. Somehow, for both Bernie and Sheldon, Donald Trump’s message of anti-Semitism, racism and xenophobia have little or no cause for concern because Trumps message of lowering taxes, eliminating any obstacles for businesses to send their money to off shore accounts, and to de-regulate the banking industry are more important. Like the wealthy Jews of Germany the assumption for Bernie and Sheldon is we are above all that hatred.
The GOP is standing firmly behind Donald Trump, after all he is their Party’s standard bearer, and any good Republican understands that Party comes before country. The GOP, always good at ignoring history and pretending that what was and is on audio or video is just a liberal press being partisan, now hopes the rest of the nation (not their ignorant and bigoted base) will forget about the old Trump and will embrace the kinder, gentler new Trump. Bernie and Sheldon, think that their wealth will trump their religious backgrounds and the anti-Semites of this nation won’t sniff their Jewish blood but instead consider these two Jewish guys one of them. Whether we like it or not, whether we want to believe it or not, history does repeat itself, especially for the very selfish.
