These are people who would have never, ever voted for Trump, but billions of dollars are being spent by the Democrats to slaughter our loved ones and our families. Israel has been decimating south Lebanon, where many of our relatives live, and now this administration is deploying US troops to the Middle East. Not exactly a winning strategy if they actually want our votes.
Some people think of a Trump vote as a protest vote. I have heard arguments being made along the lines of “Trump is not the person who is committing the genocide right now” or “Well, we didn’t have any wars under Trump”. I personally disagree with this, and consider Trump to be a fascist and fearmonger who deeply traumatised our communities during his presidency. He was a hateful leader who slammed the door on refugees by implementing a Muslim ban. While he didn’t start any wars, he did escalate existing wars in the Middle East and vetoed a series of bipartisan bills that aimed at prohibiting arms sales to Saudi Arabia.
Maybe the ‘weapons grade stupidity’ is thinking that giving weapons to a country that uses them to kill innocent people will make friends with the families of those people.
Actions have consequences. That’s what karma is.
And the consequence for putting trump in power is going to be many more dead innocents.
I don’t know if I’d call that karma so much as the consequence of acting like a petulant child on real world issues.
Admittedly, if you don’t actually care about the innocents in the middle East and are just another privileged first worlder who really only cares about themselves, these aren’t actually consequences. But for those who will die, they are very real consequences.
A lack of compassion and understanding, fascinating.
Are you claiming I’m not compassionate because I habe an understanding of objective reality and I should be more sympathetic to silly people?
Or do you really somehow believe trump, who has encouraged Israel to go harder and accused Dems of being soft on Hamas, would somehow be better for the innocents in the Middle East?
