    It’s not horrible considering the kinds of people I’ve seen on Twitter. The biggest thing is the center line should be moved to the line between Israel and Palestine (under Ukraine ofc). Supporting Israel automatically puts you on the right.

    Although it’s not an horseshoe because obviously the reasons for supporting each country vary wildly. Like any chud who supports Russia and Palestine (if they even exist) is 100% doing it just to be contrarian against Democrats.

    Basically 6-7 categories, from left to right:

    • leftists like us
    • socdems who genuinely care about oppressed peoples, but have bought propaganda about Russia
    • same as above but are also concerned about Hamas’s actions and want a ceasefire and for Israel and Palestine to just get along and live in harmony. This is the very center point (after moving the line like I said).
    • Biden, neolibs, NAFOs, neocons, basically most American politicians and their fervent supporters
    • Republicans, probably Trump aligned, who oppose Ukraine because Democrats support it, but love Israel because they’re still Christian conservatives and Christian conservatives love Israel plus anti-Arab racism
    • contrarian ““I support current thing””-posting Trump supporters who just take the opposite position of Biden without much thought (I’m not sure these actually exist since the racism would override the contrarianism, if they do exist, there are probably very few)

        The overlap between that and Trump supporters opposing Ukraine because Democrats support them is probably very large.

        Plus Ukraine isn’t very good for queer people anyway.
