god i can't even do a bit where i go maybe-later-kiddo "well under trump the charges would be worse" because that isn't a bit, this is 100% exactly what the libs are going to say without a single shred of irony or self reflection

They're going to make the protesters felons to strip their vote. The libs will then blame the protesters for getting arrested and thus not voting Biden. Which is a vote for trump, which means they're trump voters. Which means they deserve it.

Obviously

They could just say that Israel has gone too far “in recent weeks” (blatant lie, they’ve been going too far for decades now), and then stop sending money to them. This particular brand of ghoulishness is not even remotely necessary to have popular support

And I don’t even believe that. Trump is too stupid and easily distracted, he wouldn’t have the patience for that

Trump was pres during BLM, so it should be pretty easy for voters to compare and contrast their responses.

Unfortunately, I think that most US voters are probably in favor of a quick crackdown and doing so could actually earn Biden swing votes. :(
