Donald Trump ran on getting us out of wars and stopping American dollars from fueling other people’s conflicts. Now he wants us to seize Gaza, displace millions of Palestinians, and turn it into his personal Middle Eastern Riviera—and he’s willing to send U.S. troops to make it happen.

“The Democrats didn’t do enough on Gaza, so I withheld my vote to make a statement.”
“Well, Trump won and now he’s gonna destroy Gaza.”
“Yep. We’re paying the price for the Democrats’ incompetence.”
“‘We?’ The Gazans are paying the price, not us”
Pause.
“I needed to make a statement.”

Many voters sat out the election, voted third-party, or worse yet, voted for Trump, protesting the destruction in Gaza.
How y'all feeling now that Trump wants to "clean out" Gaza, move Palestinians to Jordan and Egypt, and resume shipment of 2,000lb bombs to Israel?
