    Genocide good because they want it abroad, not inside the border! America first! Blue MAGA! Brown people dirty outside of America! Our brown people are okay at best!

    That’s what you sound like when you say “people expect too much from a government not wanting genocide.”

      Perhaps a better way to put it is acknowledging that I’m not actively rooting for a genocide. With that off the table, I struggled to grasp where a Trump administration would handle the situation differently, let alone better. My primary goal is the end of the war, and my secondary goal is avoiding continued escalation. Given how hawkish Trump’s administration can be regarding brown people and minorities in general, I don’t expect them to have a markedly different perspective from the Israel contingent
