    I think this is a bad take because circumcision rates in the USA are around 80% and it is disconnected from Jewish cultural practices.

        Non-religous family, got circumcized because “That’s how it’s done”.

        According to my parents, they weren’t even asked or otherwise made aware. It was just “standard procedure” at the time. Apparently my father lost his absolute shit and had to be escorted from the premise before he defenestrated the guy.

      I don’t think she’s saying your complaints about circumcision are invalid, she’s talking specifically about RFK, Trump and that whole group. The /pol/ crowd blames Jewish people for circumcision. They talk about how the Mohel will perform the bris and drink the blood from the infant as part of a dark ritual. They view non-Jewish people who participate are just dupes who don’t understand the “real” reason behind it.

      We have to deal with this in regards to the Epstein stuff as well. You’ll assume there is some kind of common connection over the issue between right and left but really it’s just their antisemitism making them wrong for the right reasons. As someone pointed out below, weird Protestants are why it’s so common in the US, not Jewish infiltration. But those same weirdos will blame it on Jews.
