Nothing will happen here, obviously.

When we point it out as it is happening, these left-adjacent liberals wring their hands helplessly. Then, months later, they act horrified when this shit gets leaked and pretend they didn’t know. I’m mad but I’m tired.

They’ll do the same for Lebanon and who knows what else.

I don’t know, I think right now I’m understanding the scale of evil that exists and how powerless we are.

    Would Trump even be worse for Gaza at this point? Like the Republicans are way worse domestically but the Democrats might actually be worse for foreign policy

      I’ve been trying to tell people this for a while. Trump’s incompetence makes better foreign policy results. He wasn’t even able to start a war. When was the last president that didn’t start a war?

          Also Venezuela coup attempt. He sucks at the job AND tries to make friends with traditional enemies like North Korea and Russia. Less enemies is a good thing… He’s like the coworker that keeps getting promoted despite being horrible at his jobs.

            Ya it’s weird because he seemed to have a hard-on for Russia, switch between being friendly with North Korea and threatening them with “fire and fury”, and being a complete hawk against China and Iran. That’s what happens when you have greed and racism instead of a coherent ideology though I suppose.

            Yet he got promoted to the ultimate job. At least it defeats the idea that America is a meritocracy lol.

      Trump legitimized the occupation of the Golan Heights, moved our embassy to Jerusalem, and assassinated Suleimani. I don’t think he’d be doing anything appreciably different right now.

        Biden is lying to Congress so that he can keep sending weapons to Israel, which will almost certainly be used to kill civilians. Materially, there’s little difference.
        For the record, I don’t support Trump at all. It’s just a little stunning to see how far right the Democrats have gone in the last 20 years or so.

          Hell, the last 7 or so

          Many of the anti wall people are now aggressively for it, they defend literal genocide because ‘conservatives would be worse’, their candidate has come out as very pro gun…

          It would be more funny if it wasn’t so pathetic.
