It seems to me that Republicans and the Christian Nationalists they are in bed with are going to be immovably pro-Israel. How do we prevent our government from participating in this genocide as these new politicians take power?

    Doomerism doesn’t help, but doom is what we’ve chosen.

    We gleefully voted for it, in fact.

    Time to suffer.

        I applaud you. Have fun attempting to turn the majority of Americans into responsible, educated voters. Especially while Republicans, who now control our government in its entirety, work to dismantle our public education system, which they literally ran on doing.

        Here comes that doomerism…it’s over. We had a chance, and we completely dropped the ball. You don’t have to believe me when I say we’re in for long-term decline, just remember that some guy on Lemmy told you a handful of years from now when the decline is obvious and it’s clear that there’s no end in sight.

        This was a pivotal moment in U.S. history, and we failed the test.

            You’ve said things yes, but not how to do those things (some of which are plainly impossible) or how those things will help (none of those things will actually help). Doing useless stuff just to feel like you tried isn’t actually helping anyone. Israel is going to kill a lot of people and finish multiple genocides and there isn’t a damned thing anyone can do about it.
