@cwebber @pluralistic Disraeli had a line about how opposing a policy because someone else supports it makes us just as much their followers as if we automatically support their policy.

It is very possible to dislike both MAGA and James Comey, or to make allies for tactical reasons without imagining all our allies are also our friends. It's not always easy, but possible and necessary.

@emacsen Well #BenjaminDisraeli was baptised at the age of 13 when his father decided to become Anglican. So he was certainly ethnically Jewish, and experienced antisemitism as a result.

There's a story here: https://jewishstandard.timesofisrael.com/what-disraeli-actually-said/

I happened to drive through a town named after him on Thursday, in rural #Québec .
