Michigan state House candidate posts, calling feminism 'a Jewish program to degrade white men'

Michigan state House candidate has shared antisemitic posts, including one calling feminism ‘a Jewish program to degrade white men’

Robert Regan, the Republican nominee for a safely conservative state House seat in Michigan, has frequently re-posted antisemitic content and shared his own extreme views on Jews.

Regan is in a good position to win a May 3 special election for a vacant seat representing Kent County, Michigan’s 74th state district, after winning a crowded Republican primary last week by a narrow margin of 81 votes (according to unofficial tallies). Michigan’s Republican Party congratulated Regan on Wednesday for winning the primary.

In May 2021, Regan’s personal Facebook page shared two posts, still visible on his page as of Monday, in which he expressed antisemitic opinions. In one, he shared an image of a quote branded by the logo of Smoloko News, a now-defunct antisemitic website. The quote described “feminism” as “a Jewish program to degrade and subjugate white men.”

In January of last year, Regan shared a link to an antisemitic “family history” of the Rothschilds, the Jewish banking family often at the center of conspiracy theories about Jews and world banking domination. Two months later, he shared a meme made by a QAnon influencer that called “(((Them)))” the “real virus” in a post calling public health measures to combat COVID-19 “nonsense.” The triple parentheses, or echo symbol, is used online by antisemites to identify Jews.

1. Say hello to your basic, rank and file republican. Almost all of them are exactly like this guy.

2. This 💩 just doesn't stop..

What is wrong with some people?

3. 2021 and they're still blaming Jews!

Why are there so many bad people in the world?

15. Oh, it never stops.

We make for an easy target. Anti-Semitism is fashionable, ancient, and depending on who is doing it, excusable.

5. Kent County

I believe they are one of the worst counties in the state for Covid deaths. Need I say more?

6. Gee Mr. Regan, I don't feel degraded or subjugated

Maybe it's just you whose self-image is so wrapped up in a false sense of superiority?

Climbing up the QMAGAt charts with a bullet.

10. What is REALLY scary is that he has a chance at winning!

WTF?!

Him Gohmert, Bobbert, MTG, Cruz, Cawthorne and Rubio, can start a club called "The NUTZIS"!

8. Under what Paleolithic rock do they find these creatures?

And how do we get them back underneath it and make sure they never crawl out again?

9. It seems..

Whatever is making white supremacists mad at any given moment, suddenly "IT'S BEING RUN BY THE JEWS!!!". Fucking insane.

[bullwinkle428]

11. All of the QAnon shit can be directly traced back to the "Protocols of the

Elders of Zion". These pricks are all the same.

14. Goes back much farther.

To the days of the early Christian church, once they got political power under the Roman Emperor Justinian, they ran with it, setting up anti-Semitic pogroms.

12. Wow, he really kicks out all the old tired jams: triple parentheses, the Rothschilds, ...

...and feminism = Da Jooz. These alt-right morons just check every box when it comes to stereotypes. The only things that I didn't see mention of are radtrad Catholicism and chicken tendies. The article does mention his pathetic MRA/PUA "business":

"He also manages his own business called Big Boyz Shorts, which bills itself as a subscription service 'to provide meaningful and inspiring stories about manhood' and to encourage 'chaotic boys' to become 'young orderly men' and 'creative patriarchs.' "

So another box checked: grifting your gullible manchildren followers.

The alt-right obsession with Da Jooz has to be the laziest conspiracy theory ever. Like, literally, it's "we can't think of anything else, so it's gotta be Jooz!". Reminds me of the "Blame Canada" skit from South Park.

13. We have a massive problem with democracy

in this country, as there are too many partisan seats in local, state and even federal (the House) gov't, where kooks/racists/antisemites can win and be relatively safe. If these offices/races were open to a larger pool of voters (ie not as partisan and ideological) we would have a more functional gov't.

16. 'Lie Back and Enjoy It' if Raped, State Rep. Jokes He'd Tell Daughters

BY DANIEL VILLARREAL ON 3/7/22 AT 6:23 PM EST

Critics are blasting Robert Regan, a Republican nominee for the Michigan House of Representatives, for publicly comparing the 2020 presidential election to a rape.

"I tell my daughters, 'Well, if rape is inevitable, you should just lie back and enjoy it,'" Regan joked on a Facebook livestream.

"That was a shameful comment," said Amber Harris, a Republican strategist, of Regan's rape remarks. The livestream's host, Adam de Angeli, told WXMI that Regan "misspoke," adding, "Maybe not the best analogy, but he was speaking extemporaneously."

Advocates say rape victims are often asked why they didn't "fight back" and are often blamed for their own rape because they "secretly enjoyed it."
