These people say they care about Gaza, but we all know deep down inside they couldn't give less of a fuck.

It's more important virtue signal than to sincerely hold those values, this is the democrat way.

    I can't get over how awfully Palestinian Americans must feel about liberals downplaying just how bad their people have it right now.

    People are forgetting that Trump WAS president, and the US policy towards the Zionist genocide against Palestinians is the same now as it was during Trump. This is a bipartisan issue and that hasn't changed in 80 years, it's not going to change now.

    the real and only genocide that blue maga sees is the one that doesn't let them pretend the US isn't already a fascist, genocidal shithole.

    when the blue team is president, they can pretend. when the red team, especially shitty ass trump, they have to see it. and buddy, seeing this place for what it is fucks up the Eternal Brunch of Joy.

    all that either candidate will do is sign off on weapons, if there was something the IOF could be doing to increase the death rate by an order of magnitude they would already be doing it

    For a liberal it is axiomatically true that Donald Trump is worse than everyone else on the planet. No matter what atrocity someone else commits when in power, he would find a way to do that but even more evil.

    At a certain point, it's almost a religious belief.

        That really is their biggest problem with Trump. He's rude and kinda embarrassing.

        Dubba Bush had a far, far worse administration; implemented policies that have redefined how the US functions in the twenty-first century, invaded two countries (ironically laying the very precedent Putin cited when invading Ukraine) and yet Democrats love him now because he's polite and "statesmanlike".

    In the linked thread, there is more "you don't understand what fascism is" which is mind numbing enough.

      It's mind-numbing, they think Trump has fascist magic that makes bipartisan bombs stronger and Harris has liberal magic that makes bipartisan bombs weaker. It's all vibes, then they say Trump will nuke Gaza or something without explaining how.

        Yeah Israel, which has been talking about building beachfront properties in Gaza this entire time, is definitely going to be okay with using nuclear weapons there.

    "I hope I don't get what I want, just so I can feel justified having thrown tantrums to get what I want."

    Brunch liberals would rather cancel brunch to scold you for being late to brunch than to actually have their brunch without getting to feel smug about it.

    Asking to be scratched so they feel justified punching down alongside the fascists. Whether or not they are consciously aware of it, they know they benefit from white supremacy and imperialism.

      Most liberals know. America invading things for oil is a meme for a reason.

    I've seen some of the most openly fascist shit from that instance. This isn't a small part of them but the core of their moral identity. Dead children are just puppets they get to scold a tankie with, not actual human consequences to their actions.

      It's the home of MeanwhileOnGrad and NCD, the most anticommunist and most pro-NATO communities, respectively. It's not hard to see why fascists flock there.

    What did Trump actually do during his presidency that made Libs so fucking wild about him? His term was about as bad as your average Republican president but I don't recall them having this existential crisis over Bush, who was arguably worse.

    All this fear is over shit Trump says he might do, even though he has a reputation for only ever doing half of what he says, if that. Most of the bad shit Trump actually did has continued under Biden. Are Libs that big or civility cucks that Trump being a bore pissed them off that much?

      A few deeper reasons than what you have posted that I can tell from my lib days:

      1. Trump is the first time for many liberals seeing state power being openly and proudly used. The state always acts violently, but usually dresses it up with ideology. Trump doesn't bother doing this.
      2. Trump detests the "left" (liberals believing themselves to be left), which is true for most republicans, but Trump and his supporters revolve their politics around hatred of the Democrats. Liberals hated mitch McConnell for obstructing Obama, but that's abstract stuff. Trump makes politics personal
      3. Trump breaks the illusion of the liberal world order (aka the fourth riech) being eternal. He is an visible symptom of liberal society's decay and a reminder of its mortality.

      Mostly his disrespect towards american institutions, even if he tows their line at the end of the day. Libs watch too much CNN, west wing and other crap on TV to not be offended.
