Just so angry. This didn’t have to happen. Fascism was on the ballot. And folks stayed home. Didn’t want a lady. Wanted a sitting VP to go rogue and present her own Middle East policy even though she sent clear signals she’d break with Joe. Just so angry at the political naïveté. - ThreadSky

You speak the truth. I’m more sick than angry. I can’t even find anger anymore- just sick and so incredibly sad. If I let the anger come up I might explode.

Voters often make stupid decisions. It is the job of politicians to convince them to vote more wisely. Harris couldn't get voters who only vote for men, but voters who found genocide unacceptable might have been reachable. She didn't make a clear case that she would end the genocide.

The number of people who told me *to my face* that minority groups in the USA were not worth saving from Trump if Gazans couldn't be saved first is not something I think I will ever be able to forgive.

I keep getting similar responses. The most cynical of which suggesting we should have gone to war with Israel.

Not just war with, absolutely annihilated. A lot of people made "Gaza" their core personality and it very quickly curdled into some absolutely ugly antisemitism. Which may well have doomed us all in turn!

There is no talking to these people

I am willing to have a tough talk about what we can do to rein Israel in and to try to have peace

Not engaging with people who want Israel to be destroyed

Yup. They created an entire fictional reality for themselves around the subject and cast themselves as heroes in it. And it's probably going to be years before that delusion breaks.

This makes perfect sense. And exactly why everyone else, even us who wish Israel would moderate its war more humanely, is the enemy.
