We COULD do a lot better if it wasn't for all those idiots sitting under the scales. There's a shit load of people that actively want everything on the right side of that scale. There's groups of people actively supporting Israeli because they believe it'll bring about the apocalypse and let Jesus return.

Hagee has MILLIONS of followers. And not on twitter, in real life. People who live their lives in service to his vision. People who donate money and time to the cause.

And those are just the zealots. There's millions more that do whatever these people say "just to be on the safe side" in case they're right.

In total they compromise about 15-20% of the population, which is roughly the entire population of France or the UK. https://www.deseret.com/faith/2021/10/28/22750589/what-the-latest-data-tells-us-about-christian-nationalism-pew-research-center-andrew-whitehead/

These people cannot be reasoned with, they are blood bound members of a death cult and the only recourse we have is to out vote them. It fucking sucks.

We could do a lot better right now, but biden has demonstrated time and again that he won't take action even when he can. The genocide in Gaza is the perfect example. He'll say he's sad and frustrated but then supplies israel even more to continue their genocide. It's hard to believe that if we just vote in democrats hard enough that they will take action when they refuse to take action on things they have the power to right now.
