      Yeah but you can’t know for an absolute fact that Harris wouldn’t have done the same thing therefore allowing Trump to get in and actually do it was justified.

        People are literally saying she would have done the same thing elsewhere on Lemmy and it’s just baffling. Anything to justify their lack of involvement in this, I guess.

    Hey does that sound like this was planned all along to anyone else or what?

    Of course that’s such a silly notion. My goodness.

      I don’t know how planned it was, but Kushner was on record saying that Gaza strip is prime beachfront property and should be used for development accordingly.

      Yeah Trump and co have been speaking about it for months that’s what we were saying.

      Maybe when someone tells you who they are, listen.

    Panama Canal, Canada, Greenland, Gaza…. He’s just trying to get his hands on whatever he can. That’s what he wants for his legacy, he saw Putin trying to get the band back together and wanted to emulate it.

      The best part is the only justification for keeping china and Russia at bay was because the US is morally superior and doesn’t invade weaker countries just because it can. Well the US is 100% full of shit. All bets are off

    Trump lies like regular people breathe. Anyone who believed him was a fool. But I’m not looking forward to all of the sanctimonious dipshits making mean comments about Palestinians/Arabs who voted for him in the hope that he would be better than Biden.

    People were desperate and the Democrats made damned sure they felt voiceless, so they threw their lot in with the devil in the hopes that some babies in Gaza would live to see their next birthday. Again, they were fools. But seeing people gleefully throw the impending (and continued) genocide in their faces makes me feel sick

      Nobody is gleeful, as far as I’ve seen. Yeah everyone who told people that this is what was going to happen gets to say “I told you so” but they aren’t happy, they’re just pissed off in multiple directions now.

        I’m not gleeful at all. Just more sad. Sad for the Palestinians, sad for us in America, sad for the rest of the world too. What a huge mess.

        Sadly I’ve seen several comments in other threads that I would regard as gleeful/mean-spirited, and over in the bad place they’re posting about voters from Dearborn on r/leopardsAteMyFace.

        I think if people want to have words with the independents/third party contrarian crowd who couldn’t hold their nose and do the right thing that’s one thing. But going after people from the Palestinian/Levantine/Arab community who acted out of hopelessness is both counter-productive and profoundly lacking in empathy
