Ever miss the good old days when Jews could be spotted by looking for the star of David on their clothing?
Donald Trump activists have found a modern equivalent:
Trump activists "...have begun using three sets of parentheses encasing a Jewish surname — for instance, (((Fleishman))) — to identify and target Jews for harassment on blogs and major social media sites like Twitter. As one white supremacist tweeted, "It's closed captioning for the Jew-blind."
Now, I hate to get semantic, but since this whole thread is about semantics....Closed captioning doesn't work on the blind, how the heck are the blind supposed to read captions?
"Hello ((Weisman))" it began after Weisman tweeted a Washington Post article about Donald Trump titled "This Is How Fascism Comes to America."
Weisman asked his harasser, @CyberTrump, to explain the symbol. "It's a dog whistle, fool," the user responded. "Belling the cat for my fellow goyim."
..."The anti-Semitic hate, much of it from self-identified Donald J. Trump supporters, hasn't stopped since," Weisman wrote.
Oh, and it should go without saying, that typing (((Jesus))) is a bannable offense.
