ד-פּאַקס<p>"Last Friday I happened to start watching the discussion at the <a href="https://babka.social/tags/WhiteHouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WhiteHouse</span></a> between <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Zelenskyi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Zelenskyi</span></a>, Donald <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a>, JD <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Vance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vance</span></a> and Brian Glenn towards the end, when Vance was already yelling at the <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Ukrainian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ukrainian</span></a> president: "you're wrong!"

Three against one. A roomful against one. An <a href="https://babka.social/tags/antisemitic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>antisemitic</span></a> scene.</p><p>And the more I listened to the words, the more that reaction was confirmed.
