I don't think you can talk about other people devaluing how awful things are when you're trying to pass off "actively participating in the most brutal genocide of the era" as "not perfect". Also when you're trying to say that only the lives of domestic citizens are "concrete", it really sounds like you just don't consider foreigners fully human. The democrats absolutely support killing trans people, PoCs, and intellectuals, they just support doing it in Gaza. The number of people being killed domestically by the right, as terrible as it is, is not even a rounding error compared to the number of people, even just LGBT people, being killed in Gaza as a bipartisan policy. And yet only the lives of the first matter, and caring about the lives of the latter is "drinking the flavour aid"
