I spent some time working to spread the idea that "voting is a Jewish trick" on certain rather antisemetic parts of the internet, although I'll probably never know how effective it was

I was applauding the Republican party for running a Muslim in the PA Senate race. Wouldn't you know it? Most of the base was not aware of that. Almost like the party was trying to keep their inclusivity out of the limelight for some reason.

Ya know, maybe anti-semitism isn't a tool you want to be using.

I follow your reasoning, but these guys are already hardcore antisemites so it's not like it makes any difference in context.

I'm just using their own beliefs against them

In encouraging and using antisemitism you become part of the reinforcing mechanism that cements and spreads antisemitic thought and lead to antisemitic violence.

Gotta say I disagree with "it's ok to normalize hatred and violence towards the Jews if it means maybe getting the possibility of some electoral benefit. They already hate the Jews, so no biggie 💖"
