      Let’s pretend for a second that voting blue would stop the slaughter at “just” the Palestinians (it doesn’t).

      If you think you’re knowingly sacrificing an entire people to annihilation just so save your own skin, and you can not only live with that but argue in favor of it instead of redacting your entire government, you’re a fucking nazi. Peddle your them-or-us genocide support somewhere else you blue maga piece of shit.

      You can fight the trolley itself instead of justifying supporting genocide.

      PS this is the real world not a meme. Political power is not a trolley problem, it is a matter of organization and education. You disempower yourself and others by pretending you can only backseat cheerlead a genocide. Instead of supporting this, go and join an organization that is actually opposing it and start doing work.

      In the US, every student is eventually presented with lessons on the Holocaust and asked to think about what they would do. Right now, to be honest, your answer would have to be, “support it using poorly thought out propaganda”.

    There’s a large number of people out there that think “everything sucks right now and there’s a democrat president, so to make things different I should vote republican”

    Fund schools. Keep the department of Education in existence and quadruple its funding.

      There’s a large number of people out there that think “even though democrats had a disastrous four years, they will magically fund schools and give everyone a pony when they’re back in power.”
