Ben Shapiro dominated TPUSA, most posts are about him, despite Tucker Qatarlson, Marjorie Traitor Greene and Candace Owens only 13% believe that Israel is not an ally of the United States.
It's good to see at least some MAGA are sane and not falling for the ridiculous conspiracy theories flying around after the Epstein files were finally released.
It looks like 87% — the vast majority — are sane. Very comforting indeed after all the fussing. Well done, us!

1 A very useful as well as heartening post. I’ve already shared the tweet in a Facebook discussion. Thank you, Jairong.

2 Candace Owens urges audience read antisemitic book, asserts Jews controlled slave trade

3 Whites controlled the slave trade and rebelled against the US federal government rather than free their slaves.
When we crushed them their response was the Jim Crow laws.
en spread other conspiracy theories, claiming that the American slave trade was controlled by Jews, and called on black Americans to turn their ire on Jews instead of holding grudges against white Americans.
There it is, right there! Encouraging Blacks to channel their rage against Jews (aka Farrakhan and his ilk) instead of against their real oppressors.
Jewish people were front and center during the Civil Rights era, riding in the back of the Freedom Buses while Blacks rode in the front.

4 Let's not ignore the nearly 1000 year slave trade by Muslims prior to the Europeans finding the Americas. It was Judaeo-Christian Western civilization that initiated and continues the fight against slavery, which ironically enough still exists in Africa.

5 Candace Owens ... asserts Jews controlled slave trade

Only to make it possible for Blacks to build America.

6 Let's not ignore the nearly 1000 year slave trade by Muslims

Both south into sub-Saharan Africa and north: northwest into the Atlantic as far as Ireland, Scotland and Iceland, north raiding all of Mediterranean Europe, and northeast raiding the Slavic lands. White slaves were more valuable than Black Africans because they were considered more beautiful and more trainable for skilled labour of all sorts.

7  Expanding on Jairong’s post, an analysis by a PR man of why Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Nick Fuentes went all Jew-hate all the time, and perhaps why Ben Shapiro attacked them at TPUSA. Not long, but data dense:

Something VERY Fishy Is Going on With the So-Called MAGA ‘Split’ Over Israel

It is fascinating watching you climb the learning curve, Jairong.

How many here still remember Dan Darling — which I believe was his real name — one of the original Rantburgers? He was just a college kid when he first started commenting here, in the early days of the site, but he ended up getting hired somewhere as an analyst on the basis of his writings here and elsewhere. It wouldn’t surprise me if he now has an interesting title and even more interesting projects, though of course I’ll never know.

8 Lashing out at whites does a disservice. If you dont like an answer, blasting us wont solve things. Blaming whites for everything is absolutely what diversity does. So lame.

Whites controlled the slave trade... I can explain that competence /= control.

There is documentation out there that people refer to that shows the jews disproportionately to the demographics of the time, the jewish population disproportionately owned a lot more slaves than their non-jewish neighbors in the south. The old troupe of jews being money lenders, well, a lot of that lending was for slaves. Going back to the Reconquista in spain, one of the grievances against the Jews in kicking them out of the Ferdinand's Spain was the jews association with slaving via money lending. Old old books will mention this; newer books wont mention this so to avoid looking antisemitic. We can argue if these are legit sources, but it does not matter b/c people cite these as legit, they believe it - telling them the book they read it wrong wont change their minds. That all said...

Muslims have controlled the slave trade for centuries longer than Whites. The muslims typically castrate their slaves so they dont breed, that's why we dont have huge populations of us in arabia.

Muslims and Blacks still to this day have slaves. If you want a slave, where would you go? To an Anglo Country? Or a black or arab country? We know the answer.

So who controls to trade? Do you think the infrastructure to provide slaves, to move slaves to market is a recent development? Is this an industry that was recently developed? No.

And do we trust their numbers? When you go to Africa and or a Muslim country, do you trust their books, their tax records, their receipts... do you trust their word? NO!

By my math, Ottomans had more white slaves than north america had black slaves.

What is ironic is "rebelled against the US federal government rather than free their slaves." What's funny in context here is that the first slave law suit in America was by a black man who didnt want to free his slave.

Black Man did not want to Free His Slave. We did. And that right there is the lesson.

9 Then, as now, mossomo, Jews were a tiny, tiny percent of America’s population. Now it is under 2%; then it was significantly smaller, and most of the Jews in both North and South arrived with nothing — why would the successful moneylenders leave the Old World? — and set up in the cities as clerks and small shopkeepers. Such people had no use for slaves, even if they could afford the hundreds of dollar price to buy one.

So Jews showing up in disproportionate numbers to their population is not at all the same as being a significant portion of those doing the work. A quick search got me Jews and Negro Slavery in the Old South 1789-1865 — I’d love your thoughts on it when you have a chance, either here or in the O Club.

10 Lashing out at whites does a disservice.

The rest of your post I strongly agree with.

Separately, about the followers of Candace, Nick, and Tucker:
