I hope all the people that refused to vote democrat over the Palestinian genocide take full responsibility and ownership for everything that follows with Trump's foreign policy. They approved of and enabled this.
Trump was always at least as enthusiastic for the genocide as Biden.
Trump Says He Would Let Netanyahu Finish the Job in Gaza, Says 'Biden Is So Bad for Israel'
Which is why the dickheads who enabled him (but claimed to support Palestine ) are dickheads
But didn't you hear! Trump single-handedly managed to get a ceasefire deal with Israel and HAMAS signed.
Clearly something Genocide Joe refused to do!
(The Biden administration have been working on a ceasefire deal for months. Now the elections in the West are over, there is no need for the war to continue.)
Narrator: They would not take responsibility for their actions nor acknowledge their complicity in furthering human suffering. In fact, they would use their experience in mental gymnastics honed in defending their patronage of Chick-fil-A, Hobby Lobby, and that local coffee shop that advertises that they specifically don't use fair trade beans and whose owner cruises around town in a replica of the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard, adorned with a bumper sticker that reads:
"The owner of this vehicle has never seen the popular TV Show 'The Dukes of Hazzard' or any of its cinematic adaptations and really just unironically likes the Confederate Battle Flag and the ideals of human slavery that it represents. How the hell are we going to fit this whole statement on a bumper sticker? Wait. You're not typing that out too are you? You know what, fuck it. They paid up front and this gag is just getting too long without adding much in the way of humor to the situation. Just ship it."
They won't.
You're gonna see something like "Joe was nowhere near as bad but still imperfect so we either begged for or allowed Trump to happen to pwn the Dems".
Somehow, to them, that means it's still Biden's fault for their voting for Trump.
We all knew who he was going to back.
Who's is "we all"?
There were a large cohort of Americans who were protesting the Biden Harris administration and promoting the anti-vote for Harris. Some blame this group for Harris' loss. In my personal experience, it seemed like the vast majority of people were not aware of Trump's history or intentions regarding Israel. When I tried to inform people, I was banned from a community on Lemmy for being antisemitic and a genocide lover.
Non-stupid people knew who he was going to support. Not even smart people, just not-stupid people.
Those people were willfully ignorant.
Everyone with a fucking brain knew that while Harris was a shitty choice on the issue of the genocide in Palestine Trump was much much shittier.
All those fucks talking about how there wasn't a real choice were, at best, useful idiots.
Hope all the protest voters/non-voters are happy.
Biden sanctioned only 4 settlers in February. He may have expanded it to a few dozen, but this was a useless move when there’s literally over 600,000 settlers breaking international law. Heck, there’s more than 4 murders of Palestinians by settlers per month. Biden did the equivalent of leaving a penny as a tip, and it’s just as insulting.
Wow, what a surprise!
If only Harris had won, then we could at least have had some hand-wringing!
Huurrr duuurr Harris so bad
If you think this tid hitnis bad, this is day 1 of a 4 year tenure. Palestinians are going to be fucked beyond and it all could have been avoided
