It is kind of strange. Zionism is popular among the Right, but anti-semitism is popular among the Far Right.

Isn't it amazing how they always jump to conclusions. Never even realizing it is they who are intolerant, and that is the reason why they shy away from the Republican Party. They paint this fake caricature of us, and most of them know they are lying.

Again, they're a small minority. The numbers reflect their overall numbers in the country. Muslims make up about 1.1% of the American population. This means they're well-represented in the DNC.

Probably partially because the Far Right is much more Catholics & Orthodox Christians in Europe.
So, is Poland far-Right?

In America, the Far Right has a mix of Catholics, Protestants, Pagans, and Atheists. Religion is one of the things they argue among themselves about.
I don't think Poland is far-right for that, but there are a lot of Fascists in Polish politics.

Newly appointed defense minister claimed that anti-Semitic hoax document was in fact true
Poland’s newly appointed defense minister has come under fire for asserting that the anti-Semitic “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” is true.
^^ That is what the GOP looks like institutionally in Congress.
Institutionally the GOP is generally inhospitable to people of minority religions being able to succeed in the party apparatus.
Now here is the party-religious affiliation data representing all Americans at large.
Again the data show the GOP is generally repellant to the overwhelming majority of Hindus, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and to people who choose not to affiliate with religion.

Damn. I didn't think any politician was dumb enough to believe in the Protocols.

Protocols kind of did predict the future, though.
AIPAC, the media, Hollywood, etc.

There are some theories that the Protocols are a parody of what Jews are actually doing.

From the learn something new everyday category I did a google search of “are Jews white” and there’s a bunch of writing discussing it. Now I have no idea how mainstream any of this is. I’ve never heard people have this discussion before.

True, but that doesn't answer the question. Are you trying to say the Republicans are 100% tolerant of all different races, sexual preferences, religions, cultures, etc?
I am generally aware of how political parties have evolved since the early 20th century.
If jpp Republicans are not concerned -- or even the slight bit introspective -- about the glaring lack of diversity in your party, that is really not my call.
But it is not just me bringing it up. After Romney got clobbered in 2012, the GOP established a commission to soul search the reasons for why minority demographics are mostly repulsed by the GOP
Didnt accuse republican (individuals), accused the party.

I can only speak for myself but I'll say this as a Republican. There is bigotry, racism and religious intolerance within the G.O.P. And it is fine with calling it out. BUT it is also fact that there is bigotry, racism and religious intolerance within the Democratic Party. And trying to present the party otherwise is a lie.
Where the hypocrisy lies is from people who claim others should call out bigotry, racism and religious intolerance while not being wiling to do it themselves. At a certain point, if you aren't willing to call out people on your own "side" you're doing nothing but virtue signaling asking others to do what you won't.

I define it as a cultural name since geneticists have proved there's no such thing as "race". That the old names of Caucasian and Negroid are scientifically incorrect because skin tone and facial features are a very minor part of what makes a human being a human being.
Disagreed. There are many on the Right who are good Christians and compassionate for their fellow human beings regardless of skin tone. The problem is that they rarely Tweet or act like jerks on a political forum. That position is happily filled by RW nutjobs, neo-nazis, racists and other assorted jerk offs. Do you need some usernames for examples?

Only in your dumb sphere is there no such thing as race.
I've not seen a single genetic study proving racial equality, or that there is no race.
It's really the scam of the century to say there is no such thing as race.
Even Dawkins says that races could be considered as sub-species.
Even if they're not, they exist still enough to matter.

Agreed on all three of those ideas. That said, the Republicans are, by far, the biggest racists of the two racist parties. Neither is innocent but, as an analogy, the Democrats are more akin to the Hitler Youth compared to the Republican's Dirlewanger Brigade
Completely agreed in your second paragraph. "'Always clean your own house first, before criticizing your neighbor's house" is an old saying. If a party is against racism, they need to call out racism on all sides, not just on the opposite side.
