Honestly dude, I cannot fucking believe people thought Trump would be better for Palestine than Kamala… I just don’t fucking understand how so many people can come to that conclusion, unless I really think about it, and then the reasons are all so sad and stupid. I swear to god the main reason, above racism, above hate, above the propaganda of the election cycle, the main reason he won over Hillary and then Kamala is that he had a TV show for many years. A lot of people over look the simple fact that in the American psyche, being on TV is validating, or at least it was when Trump was elected, before everything went upside down. People will stay in the same shitty town and keep the same toxic relatives in their lives for their wholes lives vs finding people that they actually harmonize with because they’re familiar. People who grew up in shitty households find partners like their shitty parents because the shitty behavior is familiar. “Familiar” feels like family. Trump was a household name, and some people didn’t even know Kamala had been swapped in half way through the election season. So they trusted Trump when he’d lie because he’s familiar, but they distrusted her when she seemed to avoid a subject because she’s unfamiliar and so inherently suspicious. They should have both been suspicious af, but he had a TV show and was president once before so they trusted him more… which is very fucking stupid.
Are you saying bots are pointless? They may have introduced the idea to the discourse, and they certainly amplified the signal, and I believe they succeeded at incepting the idea to many people.
I cannot fucking believe people thought Trump would be better for Palestine than Kamala…
Few did. Those of us who knew that people would stay home because of it tried to warn everyone that if Harris didn’t change course, she would lose. Centrists didn’t want to hear any of it. They either didn’t believe us or didn’t care because they wanted genocide so badly that they were willing to accept trump.
And I fully expect someone to reply to this by trying to convince me to vote for her even though I did and the election is over.
Yeah, I think you’re hitting on something important. This is probably also why people living under dictatorships sometimes approve of their dictator. The devil you know.

Nobody actually thought Trump would be better for Palestine. The ones that said they did were bots.

They didn’t say bots are pointless, they said bots aren’t people.
It’s called propaganda, and it sure worked. Divide and conquer.
