BRUH, Trump formally recgonized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and not Tel Aviv.
Thinking he's gonna not give isreal anything they want. Evangelicals love to support israel because they think it'll help lead to rapture/end of the world where they'll be saved by god.
I don't think you have as good of a grasp on the nuances of trumps supporter base as you think.
Don't worry I won't be voting for Trump. My take on trump supporter base is they're typically older lazy boomers who want to yell at their TVs as trump "owns the libs." Look at january 6th his base literally had to be invited inside to invade the capital and they just stood around gawking lol. Utterly inept.
Recognizing Jerusalem didn't kill 25,000 Palestinians, but Biden has given unconditional support to civilian bombing in the middle east.
Neither candidate has done anything to convince me to vote for them. The sooner we all figure out voting isn't going to fix things, the better.
Didn’t it? It seems very plausible that Israel’s most powerful ally taking this huge step that no previous president was willing to take could have easily galvanized Hamas’s resolve and fanned the flames leading up to the recent attacks and resulting Israeli siege.
This shit has been going on for decades. It’s foolish to treat the recent events as an isolated incident, or to compartmentalize the repercussions of US foreign policy to individual presidential administrations.
No, people firing rockets and bullets killed 25,000 people. This is the real world where real things impact real lives, and Biden shipping billions of dollars worth of weapons enables them to continue killing, not names or lines on a map.
Definitely agree with you there, I think it's important for all of us to be educated about the history of American support for this cycle of abuse. I don't plan to vote for any person who continues to support the killing of innocent people suffering under an apartheid regime.
