Being an A-list liberal darling during Trump 1 didn't save his campaign, the seemingly undying hatred for Russia didn't save his campaign and even that shitty little cameo on Curb Your Enthusiasm a couple of years ago didn't save him

I'm sure being an ardent zionist who openly supports the genocide, being racist and condescending to Nixon, refusing to debate her and acting like he already won didn't help him either

This is a whole new precedent going forward, I may not go this far but this analysis from r/trueanon sounds solid if a bit optimistic

It may have finally happened, libs may actually care more about Palestine than ukkkraine and we should take advantage of thia as much as we can

In a lot of ways, the Slava Ukraini libs set themselves up for it. Everything they convinced people Russia was horrible for doing to Ukraine, Israel ended up doing 2x worse and with less believable apologia to Gaza. There was too much cognitive dissonance in the “support Ukraine but not Palestine” position to hold water.

There was literally a Ukrainian guy who got famous for giving a Russian soldier (a seed?) and saying he hopes his blood will water the seed

Only one Gazan ever got close enough to the IOF without getting shot, and that was an old grandfather they gave some water to for a photoshoot, and THEN they shot him and left him for his granddaughter to find; the IOF are so evil it's not even comical; the red skull is literally not this ludicrously evil

doing 2x worse

The Russians would have to be shockingly evil for them to only be half as evil as Israel; for one thing Russia was open to peace negotiations and nearly had it (in 2022?) if it hadn't been for America and Britain; heck, this whole thing only happened because their attempt at a peaceful resolution (with entirely reasonable demands) back in 2014 was fought against tooth and nail; there is no comparison between anything Russia is doing and Israel

hold water

like the water that the Zionists were explicitly and vocally not allowing into Gaza after bombing its water infrastructure, while Ukrainian water infrastructure has not been targeted by Russia

And then they're all like 'how can u support the Palestinians but not the ukranians?!? Curious...'

Russiagate was always an artificially pushed narrative and when the people on the TV stopped talking about it, it died. Russia doesn't impact the average American's life in any way so they don't care unless the people on the TV don't consistently tell them to.

Same thing with any outrage over facebooks apparent part in all that. Back then the libs were like "omg everyone needs to delete their Facebook zuck got trump elected"

Now they're right back on there crying about trump.

Ngl some of the shit libs came up with was straight out of pulp fiction and was definitely a vibe. I’d love to live in the world in which the FSB was coordinating Donald’s diaper routine but it was obvious to anyone with a brain it was too good to be true.
