Trump's election has made it that anti-semitism has gone from "Being anti-semitic is unacceptable." to "Being anti-semitic is brave."

It turned from a serious topic to the latest fad for wannabes and attention-hungry provocateurs.

Youtube-star Pewdiepie tricked people into doing an anti-semitic video because he thought it would be funny.
