Dissident Politics: Jews, atheists and how Gab sees the world

The Jerusalem Post writes:

Jews and other non-Christians are "not conservative" because it is "an explicitly Christian movement" and because the US "is an explicitly Christian country," said Andrew Torba, the CEO of Gab and reportedly a consultant for state senator Doug Mastriano, the Republican candidate for governor of Pennsylvania, in a livestream responding to recent condemnations of Mastriano and Gab.

Mastriano has come into the public eye in recent weeks after US media outlets reported that he had spent $5,000 on advertising on Gab, a social media network favored by the far-right. The candidate has also reportedly paid for "campaign consulting" from the platform, with reports that new Gab users are set to automatically follow him.

What is Gab?

Gab is a radical right Republican hate, lies and crackpottery site. It is unusual in that it allows people like me to actually see what folks there are saying. Here's a couple of screenshots to help us understand just how fracking** demented the far right really is. These are from this morning's crop of wonderful information and thoughts that users there generously share with the world.

** Not referring to hydraulic fracturing, a technique to get oil out of rocks and rock formations by injecting specialized (toxic, trade secret) fluid into cracks to force them to open further so the oil can be recovered and overcharged for. Fracking here refers to the slang term first used in the 1978 Battlestar Galactica television series. It continues to be used throughout different versions of the Battlestar Galactica franchise and, more generally, as a profanity in science fiction. I'll let readers here figure out which profanity.
