Joe Biden supported and enabled the genocide in Gaza, and every president before him committed invasions and war crimes. The fact that you think it's just a Trump thing and not a US empire thing reveals your geopolitical understanding to be puddle-deep. Hell, Putin was our guy. We put him there.

Liberals still deny that Biden is responsible for the genocide in Gaza

Trump is the president right now though

That is not an excuse to forgo object permanence and pretend Trump is an anomaly in any way except for how blatant he is. He's not a deviation from US policy, he's a distillation of it.

Liberals were happy to close their eyes and support genocide when it was covered by the thinnest veil of decorum

I'm just saying they might've mentioned Trump only since he is the president right now

That's fair, but I also can't know if they think Trump is an aberration and I consider it important to broaden the scope of the discussion
