Why do MAGA's hate George Soros? [View all]

Joe Biden has just awarded Soros the Presidential Medal of Freedom which has driven MAGA's bugshit insane. But why do they hate George Soros so much?

For those who don't know why Soros is so hated by the American right wing, here's the answer. They've been taught to hate him by the Republican propaganda machine. When wingnuts want to add antisemitism to their cup of poison, they can't just say "The Jews." So they use the name George Soros because he's a Jewish billionaire, and they've been taught to hate his name with a knee jerk reaction.

Actually, my guess is that most MAGA's don't have a clue about anything pertaining to Soros.

Soros is a Hungarian who, along with his family, escaped the Nazi death machine when he was a child. As an American billionaire, he's donated over $32 billion -- that's billion with a "b" -- to various charities. Hmm, seems like the kind of guy who needs to be hated.

Anyhow, if you look up Jew in a MAGA dictionary, you'll find a picture of George Soros. This is how Trump and his minions operate. This is who and what they are. They have nothing to offer you but hate, bigotry and ignorance.
