Eh. Fuck off. I really don't care anymore.
You chose this. You knew exactly what was at stake, you knew who Trump was beyond any shadow of a doubt, you knew he was going to fully enable Isreal to wipe your family off the face of the earth. You knew.
I fought all the bad faith arguments flying around here and beyond. All the "never genocide" bullshit. Every day, for the better part of a year.
But you played stupid fucking games. And now we all have to find out.
It sucks because people will suffer. Likely people I care about too. But this bleeding heart "liberal" has been bled dry. I can't muster any more fucks.
Are you imaging a world where Kamala wasn't full throatedly supporting the genocide as well? Kamala "Most lethal military", "Israel has a right to defend itself", "No arms embargo", "I'm basically Joe Biden but I want Republicans in my cabinet" Harris?
And you suppose Trump will touch his heart and at the very least consider slamming on the breaks? Get real.
No, but I understand the people not wanting to cosign the genocide and not voting or voting 3rd party. I can even forgive the low information voter that was hopeful toward Trump's vague allusion toward stopping the wars (even though obviously this is incorrect).
For lefties, y'all really underestimate what trump can do, if you think that single issue outweights your safety at home.
Yeah, the "single issue" of genocide. And how do you think the safety of people develops, when genocide is normalized?
Do you think the Nazis started with death camps? These things are processes. And normalizing genocide abroad is a big step towards normalizing genocide at home. There is no safety for anyone, if genocide is normalized.
