And this really relates to censorship since they first started censoring anti semitism after he was elected. Before that all the media platforms were uncensored and you could post whatever you wanted about jews. Literally nothing was censored and it was up to the viewer to watch it.

So I'm just curious if censorship of anti-semitism has helped or made things worse. I'm really interested in a jews opinion as well. I'm just curious if you felt more accepted before or after the censorship.

No, I just mean there's less energy because people know what Trump is and what he will and won't do unlike in 2016.
Things are 1000x polarised from a kike perspective, but from a White perspective, it's less.
You have pushback against DEI, Terf shit is now mainstream, and X moderation means other platforms like instagram have had to also become less filtered for stay competitive

things started getting polarized around obamas second term victory. i feel like him winning twice gave democrats a chubby, , made them think they had won forever so they could now go mask off. and so the liberals became the new morality police, or what would be known as social justice warriors, or woke.
They wanted to control what people could do and say, how they act. and if you were a straight white male you were satan.
This was the new culture they wanted to push, but then trump, however you feel about him, won.
that was a great night after years of libtard wokeness and hyper identity politics. trump gave them a bloody nose.
of course after they were finished shrieking they went back into woke mode and became an obnoxious albatross obsessed with russia. the empire did eventually strike back and thanks to covid trump lost.


but then he crawled back up the mountain and won again in 2020, and i think wokeness is on the outs. but we are still kind of polarized

Immediately after the 2016 election was more polarized than immediately after the 2024 election. The polarization in 2025 has sped up rapidly though and exceeded what I remember from 2017.

I don’t know about polarized, but they’re certainly a lot stupider.

Less overall, but that requires looking at it from a broad scale.
2016 to around early 23 the left went fucking insane and partook in every single awful behavior it could while being praised at every turn. Which was obviously polarization. After the 24 campaign really kicked off it quickly became apparent people just didn’t have the stomach for them while the political right became basically everyone else so you end up with one hyper spastic side that just isn’t appealing to anyone else and everyone else.

The antisemitism shit also didn’t start with Trump

https://www.congress.gov/bill/113th-congress/house-resolution/707
https://2009-2017.state.gov/j/drl/rls/176727.htm

This shit was getting passed all the time people just started noticing and more so being fucking tiered of this stupid shit. Censorship was also legitimately terrible on places like YouTube before Trump was in office. Smaller political channels were regularly purged or harassed at the time.

The most actually interesting and meaningful thing to have happened in the past decade has been how single issue hating likes has become. /pol/ is a great example as anons will decide people and groups that are openly their ideological and even racial enemy are actually good because they said they also don’t like kikes or the inverse if they have a pro Israel stance.
I remember anons talking about how the US bringing up the racial killings of whites in South Africa and taking in refugees from the country was actually bad because South Africa’s government had randomly condemned Israel for some shit. So that means they are actually super based and fighting ZOG by…killing random white people and stealing their shit.

Hating kikes has become such a cornerstone position and so ridged we are probably not far off from this old meme, “at least he said he hates the IDF on twitter”

more polarized for sure, dems were traumatized that Hillary lost such a easy win that they invented schizoid conspiracy theories like russian election interference.

It is however not the most polarized the union has been, that would be the confederate split and subsequent civil war.

Imagine being this fag and assuming I truly would be an untouchable multi generation string of democrat leadership. And now the party is functionally fucking dead a little less then twenty years latter.

If they didn’t have to care about the voting they wouldn’t have dumped nearly as much time trying to shove Harris in and block trump any way they could have.

Trump was a result of polarization.
