Soros “dumped over $40 million into placing radical activists in our justice system,” the narrator says. Very subtle. “Today, 1 in 5 Americans lives in territory controlled by a Soros-funded prosecutor,” it continues. They left out “globalist” this time, but by now, every QAnon/MAGA-curious viewer knows what a conspiracy-theory-pushing source means when they say “Soros.”

The ad is being fed to the Facebook audience in Wisconsin and a handful of other states.

The Anti-Defamation League warned of the explosion of conspiracy theories about the Jewish philanthropist in 2020, calling them the “gateway to antisemitism.” If anything, the attacks specific to Soros have increased since then, fed by the likes of this group, Fair Courts, and the billions of dollars in dark money feeding it and the rest of the GOP.

That’s also feeding antisemitic violence—often specifically targeting officeholders—around the country.

That makes this race even more vital—the politics of hate and fear have to be defeated every time. Please help with your $10.
