Idiotic take. How quickly you seem to have gorgotten that the protesters were demonised, beaten up, imprisoned and subjected to the full weight of draconian laws under a DEMOCRATIC administration. Sort the Democratic party out before slinging mud.
I'm no fan of Trump neither. I think both the major US political parties are abysmall. Both are controlled by corporations and AIPAC. Neither puts the interests of ordinary folk first. Neither is particularly concerned about human rights, whether at home or abroad.
1. Most of those protests were while Biden was still the candidate
2. People are actually gathering outside the Whitehouse to protest this
3. Many people that protested held their nose and voted Harris
4. You're a fucking ghoul blaming people for their own genocide
"We let Israel indiscriminately kill civilians and children, promised we'd continue to do that with minimal push back even though they're a client state dependent on our funding and you people didn't like that. So really, this is your fault!"
We’ll be broke with no jobs, no money as our assets will be raided by the govt, that’s even if we are still alive after no vaccines, bad food sources, etc
if any americans or canadians reading this would be interested, i’m making a discord server for americans considering asylum and canadians willing to help out. i’d be happy to send you all a link if you’re interested! (we also have a channel on protests and protest safety)
Left is the face of Hamas according to Israel. On the right, the face of evil according to Musk. Their crimes, born in areas where life is hard and made harder by those who will take from them (incl their freedom) what little they have to enrich themselves. #pitchforksandtorches

There were no shortage of astroturfers online, but the actual physical protests across college campuses were by real students, with real names, and real faces, and real senior thesis.
I remember having an argument with someone who was certain Trump’s return would be good for Palestinians because he’d “think outside the box.” While this move-the-Palestinians-and-build-a-Riviera fantasy may seem outside the box to some, it’s actually exactly where Bibi has been heading all along.
We told them, Your electorate wants you to end the genocide, not doing so might cost you the election. They not just ignored, but laughed at and called protestors terrorists and sent the police to beat them up, and stand by as far right harrased them. This was Bidens government. They chose this!
Libruhls really like being fuckin' ignorant assholes innit, don't they?. There've been protests every single day of the week ye morons, yesterday there was a massive pro palestine protest.
And y'all are just shouting ''I don't care about genocide until republikkkans do it''.
Those are young people that need the support and guidance of their elders, not snarky condemnation. The left is divided in large part bc older generations like to mock and degrade young people. Please do better.
A lot of Americans believe that politics is just like a team sport and you absolutely need to be loyal to your team. They can’t fathom that you can protest for ideals or for something as simple as being against a massacre.
Where I live, there’s a whole lot of right wingers who want very socialist solutions. Sorry neighor, you keep voting for laissez-faire capitalism and now you’re surprised when municipality won’t subsidize having a grocery store within your walking distance?
My kids’ University (my Alma mater) has banned protesting entirely since last spring. I’m pretty pissed bc when I was a student we protested all the time
Let’s not vilify the American Muslim population. They thought their vote would help prevent genocide. MAGA wanted lower egg prices. They’re not the same. MAGA is too ignorant to understand they just want to “win” without even understanding the prize. It’s like, “congratulations you won cancer!”
solve the middle east problem, find somewhere else for israelis to live, they are the ones who have brought nothing but turmoil to the middle east, let them move to florida
If we manage to come out of this crisis a democracy, the lesson many of us have to learn is you have to vote. You don’t like your choices, put in the work to make your own party. I don’t even fault 3rd party, they voted. But not voting won’t keep a democracy.
They’ll never admit that they helped elect a fascist wannabe dictator who will soon help with the ethnic cleansing of that area. And it’s in HUGE part because they trash talked their best hope of getting to a two state solution and some sort of normalcy for that area. With their own people. #Shame
those universities banned protesting anything against Israel my good genius, any decrease in protests on campus was a biden project. anyway go to one of the MANY protests today
Will they have to balls to protest as aggressively?
It will be VERY interesting to watch…. but honestly, the fate of Gaza is WAAAAY down on my list of priorities.
that's because you are OK with crimes against humanity when the Blue Team does them. Biden indisputably committed the crime of abetting this apocalyptic genocide, and should have been sent to the Hague, but American imperialism is above reproach to you BlueMAGA mouthbreathers
If Biden had STOPPED the genocide, which he absolutely could have with a phone call, there would not be one for Trump to continue. Eat shit you pompous genocide apologist
Pretty sure the most recent phase of the ethnic cleansing and genocide of Palestinians started under Biden and the Democrats, and Harris was going to keep the status quo, but sure, keep up the ridiculous posturing. Both parties are spineless warmongers.
My candidate? Lmao if I was American, I would have written in SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star. Fuck the entire American political establishment, including the Greens and the Libertarians.
You are misrepresenting what Biden did. Biden repeatedly called for a ceasefire in Gaza and threatened to withhold some military aid to Israel. Saying "Both parties are spineless warmongers" is absurd.
Fucking REAGAN had a more restrained approach to Israel than Biden. Fuck all the way off with stepping over Palestinian bodies for cheap political points
You are equating Biden's response to Trump's. That's like saying that Biden inadvertently taking home a few sheets of classified notes is the same as Trump intentionally removing hundreds of classified documents and storing them in his bathroom. Biden was not perfect but your rhetoric is absurd.
70% of Israel's weaponry came directly from us via MULTIPLE BIPARTISAN CONGRESSIONALLY APPROVED MULTI BILLION DOLLAR ARMS DEALS. Eat shit you bloorthirsty ghoul
What evidence did she show you that she was going to “relocate” almost 2 million people to build another French Riviera and line her pockets with genocide blood.
What evidence do you have to the contrary? Another Biden-esque milquetoast "plz do a ceasefire Netanyahu" while still bankrolling him and providing nearly unlimited weapons to commit genocide? Choice is either Republican "GeNoCiDe", or Democrat "✨🌈🌺genocide🌺🌈✨" I guess?
The people choosing to engage in and support a genocide are the problem, no matter who they are, not the people protesting, trying to make it stop and build a better future.
Meanwhile, creating reasons to attack each other does nothing to solve any problems.
#Trump’s #cognitivedecline & #realestate developer #grift suggest #ethniccleansing or #genocide in the offing in #Gaza for #Palestinians, but #ManifestDestiny #eminentdomain delusions drive him.
On my campus students were roughed up by cops, one had her hijab ripped off her head, some were sent to jail, degrees were threatened and yet my school's Social Justice for Palestine group still meets regularly.
1) MAGA won. They’re the enemy, not the empathetic youth.
2) they protested against Biden to change their party’s position on genocide. There is 0% chance that Trump changes his position.
3) leaders far and wide, democrats included, threatened to jail them. What kind of incentive is that?
This is the thing they don't seem to get. Protests aren't an end state, they're a tool to attempt to get change. We are WAY past the protest point right now.
Yep. + establishment Dems only approve of youth/leftist protests when it suits their exact narrative, otherwise they’re as against them as republicans. Meanwhile they’re the ones with ACTUAL access to power, yet aren’t doing anything to stop oligarchical collapse, just reciting antileft messaging
I fail to see how they were empathetic when they didn't feel any empathy for the queer people, women, and poor people, who are having and will have their rights stripped from them. Not to mention they don't give a fuck about Palestinians, or they wouldn't have supported the current outcome.
I think you need to have an IRL conversation with one of the protestors you’re creating narratives about. I’m not saying that to be mean or sassy, I really just encourage you to challenge the assumptions you just stated, because they’re just that: assumptions. Not reality.
Again, I’m not trying to be rude here. I’m just pointing out falsehoods so we can find a way to align on how to save our country from the actual enemies
“they didn't feel any empathy for the queer people, women, and poor people, who are having and will have their rights stripped from them.” That’s simply false. 2 things can be true at once: they can have empathy for all those people (& BE those people) AND express disapproval of US-funded genocide.
Maybe you should take this post and shove it in the DNC's sASS!! You're blaming protesters for peace while the DNC has done everything to get us in this situation and now are no where to be found.
USAF Vietnam era Vet I’ve never seen nothing like this in my life we need to shut The capital of United States of America no matter what And no matter what it takes exception no violence. Nazi Elon Mus and Draft dodger Trump taking over the US treasury. This Must stop right now.You must protest
Ah yeah let’s just rewrite history to hurt leftists, that’s exactly what the democrats need to do, turn away the left even more! More seriously you guys sure do love to take the right wing stance any time you are given the choice between left and right
That’s a naively simplistic statement. Politics have never been and will never be that black + white. I also wish we could explain this horrific outcome in simple terms, but we can’t. That level of willful ignorance is how MAGA thinks/operates. To beat them, we have to THINK better than them.
far to many and ya'll are responsible for bush v gore going to gore, trump v clinton going to trump and now trump v harris going to harris because you're incapable of learning past middle school when most people grew the f*ck up and realized idealism is pointless without work.
no they weren't because anyone with half a brain knew the genocide would be epically worse if trump won and that it would start new genocide here at home. But ya'll decided your ego was more important than lives. You never cared stop pretending we clocked you ages ago.
I think they might be bots. I saw a certain country was going to invest $150 million into promoting their propaganda. These accounts are spewing nonsense, being VERY divisive, and pushing hatred. They clearly support genocide, so I have to think many are bots doing a certain country’s work.
USAF Vietnam era Vet I’ve never seen nothing like this in my life we need to shut The capital of United States of America no matter what And no matter what it takes exception no violence. Nazi Elon Mus and Draft dodger Trump taking over the US treasury. This Must stop right now.You must protest
Sorry, done with subtlety because some of you are really stupid. Like are you proud to be this ignorant of history? You're committing revisionism in real time.
Wtf are you even talking about? How is me criticizing Trump for blaming everything on Dems committing revisionism? He was Prez for 4 years before Biden and these things were happening. Why didn’t he fix them instead of blaming Biden. Get the fuck on and go take a seat somewhere
Let’s be clear, people who post this shit don’t oppose genocide. They are in the business of discrediting people who do oppose genocide. If they supported a free Palestine they wouldn’t be as oblivious as the MSM pretends to be.
I get what you’re trying to say here but I would counter that 1. There are protests happening and 2. Many universities have threatened to immediately expel anyone taking part in another encampment or protest. Not to mention threats of deportation for students in visas if they are found at a protest
Protesting Biden/Harris appearing to be okay with the status quo in Palestine is completely valid. But so is being horrified at a president expressing not only endorsing this genocide but seemingly wanting to take a much larger part.
I’ll still be out protesting through any administration.
No. It was literally just an excuse that the people used who refused to vote for Kamala Harris. Where is the outrage today? Why are they not in front of the White House right now?
Really? You think the campus protests against the Gaza genocide were just some genius cynical ploy by 18 year olds to help Donald Trump win an election? What a fucking idiot you are. Truly world class.
The international criminal court disagrees. Their literally trying to clear them all out now. They're admitting it and you still don't believe it. What more do you need.
The responses to this, which exonerate the naive progressives who gave us Reagan, Bush, w, and Trump, are why this is happening now. They are so wrapped up in their self-righteous indignation that day do not see the forest for the trees.

We will vote his arse out if he can’t stand up to sHitler. Send the message.

You’re either not using logic or you are a Russian or Chinese troll, just trying to sow hatred & infighting.
If you ARE, in fact, a real person, stop turning against your only hope for help.
Also, their protests were against genocide, not Harris.
Yeah, so ceasefire, much peaceful.
Russia didnt pay you to protest against Trump, and hiding behind others protest work is just a bullshit cover.
That is pretty easy, especially, when your image just contain text.
This way, you support visually impaired people and everyone else, who rely on a good filled Alt-text.

Like every other protest movement in the past 20 years the Democrats violently suppressed?
The Democrats have no clue how to oppose the Republicans because they only know how to suppress a movement, not lead one
I’ll still be out protesting through any administration.
USA:
Maga: 'well?'
USA:
Couldnt be more transparent if you were actually transparent.
MAYBE you should have spoken up against the abuse of their rights to protest.
But still, 17 MILLION stayed home, they were not all Gaza based refusals
