The US is not like any other place. All I can do is comment on the time I have spent in the US and its history.
Can I fully understand how a Jew feels now in the US, NO!!!
Does that mean their fears/concerns are valid? IMHO that would be also no.
I say this trying to put myself the best I can in your position.

I agree that this is most likely the case, but once one leaves the orthodox enclaves there is already a very different environment than there was just a short time ago. I don't think the US is in danger of becoming unlivable for Jews, but there is a long route before that which is also pretty bad. Is there a legitimate fear that the US will become what England and to a lesser extent Canada has become? It is not so long ago that Canada was considered more tolerant than the US and that has totally changed under "liberal" leadership. I don't feel that any of the current candidates are anti-semitic, but one side has felt the need to include islamophobia in their statements about anti-semitism and openly panders to and empowers the anti-semitic wing of their party. That is not a good direction to be headed.

Every election the R's claim the D candidate is the most left wing/liberal ever. They did that against Biden, and it was completely false. Now you have D candidate where it is true, and nobody is listening because they always cried wolf.

The only reason KH can win is Trump.

Everyone (DDF) claims they don't want Trump (lesser of two evils) but IMHO that is just not true. I see the posts here on DDF and they are pro Trump.

I could list 10 D candidates, and they would still vote for Trump. If you are really concerned about KH winning, then Trump needs to go. The problem is most here want Trump and has nothing to do with the D candidate.

Just like the Ds do the same with every R candidate.

There are definitely many who are very pro-Trump. Probably more so now than his first election mainly because they were happier with his presidency than any other in recent history and are willing to overlook his shortcoming because of that.

Yes Trump is a horrible candidate and looks poised to bungle a very winnable election.

Reality check:

Trump needs to go now?

Should we be subverting the democratic process just because we don't like the outcome.

While we might not like Trump, we've had 4 years of him. We've also had 4 years of Biden/Harris (and much more if you count Obama, as everyone believes/knows that he, and/or other party elites, is the one calling the shots in the last 4 years, and that will continue if G-d forbid KH end up becoming the next POTUS). We've seen the lies, deceit and subversion by the anti-democratic Bolshevik forces.

Naming potential candidates is a futile exercise in day dreaming.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Too late now but you reap what you sow.
You got Biden because you chose Trump.
Now it looks like you will get KH because you chose Trump.
Who do you blame?

I wonder whether you can auto translate Yiddish lyrics.

ETA: I clicked on translate and there are some lines that are off. I would have posted a proper translation if I were at a desktop. Maybe later.

Signing off for today with my translation of the lyrics (based on auto translation, with my edits for the benefit of @CountValentine):


Oh man, oh man, you do indeed have a part in this world,   מענטש’לע מענטש’לע דו האסט דאך טאקע אין די וועלט א חלק,
yet keep in mind that you are a mere short-term guest.   וויסן זאלסטו אז דו ביסט א גאסט אויף צייטווייליג,
I have been running the world for thousands of years   איך פיר שוין די וועלט טויזענטער יארן
Everything is perfectly purposeful   יעדע זאך האט א חשבון א קלארן
you've just barely arrived on the scene.   און דו ביזט קוים געקומען דא צו גיין
And there's a reason for anything I do    און יעדע זאך וואס איך טו איז דא א סיבה דערפאר
whether you see it as good or you think it's painful heaven forbid   צי דו זעסט אז ס’איז גוט צי דו מיינסט אז ס’איז חלילה צער
it's ain't up to you to explain.   ס’איז נישט פאר דיר צו זיין מברר
You may not question it    ואין לך רשות להרהר
My dear child, you simply can't understand everything!     מיין טייער קינד דו קענסט נישט אלעס פארשטיין!

(I'm sure @Yehuda57 or someone else can come up with better English prose, I just tried to fix what I saw as errors which were painful to read).

What are the chances that Biden resigns before pardoning Hunter? What are the chances that he pardons Hunter before the election?

If Trump wins, it would not surprise me if Biden resigns before the inauguration so that Kamala can become the first black woman president.
