If they can adopt and make bipartisan the entirety of Trump Term 1 and support genocide without any electoral liability, what will you not approve of? This means that any opposition to literal genocide or authoritarianism is only justified if it is the Red team doing it. If Democrats do it, they are definitionally the lesser evil, so they should be supported in genocide since Republicans also would do it.

Also, kicker, Trump forced Israel into two ceasefires that reduced the killing, despite it not actually being a stop to the genocide since Israel is still restricting aid and killing at a slower pace. But that literally means Trump is less genocidal on that one issue that Biden/Harris. The bar is on the floor and they still fail!

So clearly you prefer what is happening now. This is what you wanted? Americans gunned down in the streets by federal occupiers? A president literally invading foreign countries for the expressed purpose of taking their oil? Federal agencies adopting Nazi and white nationalist slogans? I swear to fucking Christ, leftists hate anything that they don't think is left enough and it will lead to the world burning down. You have to compromise. You CANNOT have everything you want in this life. It will NEVER be perfect. And if we don't accept that fact and work with what we are given, it will be taken away from us entirely.

I don't want to see genocide happen either. But we really ought to fix our own shit before we try to fix the rest of the world. America is not special. It should not be our job to police the world like we had in the past. Remove the log in your own eye and all that jazz. Be mad, but compromise. Otherwise we will be nothing at all.
