Remember how everyone was grousing that Harris wasn't tough enough about Israel's genocide? Well, you reap what you sow. Trump's fine with full extermination, and how anyone didn't see this coming is ... um, interesting.

Indeed it remains an argument between a party who was doing the genocide and a party who is rightly associated with genocide. Further still, the defeated party remains almost totally inactive in the face of increasing state violence and chaos, with local Democrats often validating some part of it as long as it is seen to hurt "violent criminals." Bipartisan electoralism kayfabe is just a really powerful propaganda tool. There seem to always be a majority of voters who think they could have voted their way out of this, and it's because the act of the vote is part of the manufacture of consent. This is despite bloody decade after bloody decade of state violence pointing to the contrary.
