Don't get it twisted, the military can choose to do whatever they want about this, up to and including execution of the full trump administration on day one. They represent the largest portion of the State's monopoly on force.

What they can do legally is another matter entirely, but we're well past legal or not at this point.

Israel intentionally conflates itself with Judaism (religion) and Jewishness (ethnicity), so animosity they generate ends up being felt by the Jewish community at large. Failure to recognize this is just running cover for both the Israelis and the antisemites.

The point being, an excellent personal choice at the expense of the greater whole?

I've been wondering something, specifically related to something I heard mentioned last night on a stream: their hypothesis was that real life ground game, door knocking or whatever, doesn't matter any more, and the modern 'ground game' is social media and 1:1 conversations.

When 'reasonable' people delete/deleted twitter/facebook in droves, are we just ceding the ground game to the racists and the ones who can shout the most hate?

That was more snark along the lines of the OP than any serious research, though I expect there will be quite a few papers written on this election.

For what it's worth, it's likely when that book was researched that it was a minority phenomenon.
