    Well yeah, but they don’t see American crimes as a problem when they’re done by Democrats. So maybe they honestly do think that Trump has killed more Palestinians.

      Unfortunately I think the really brutal and sad reality is that they view the inconveniences / discrimination / etc they have been subjected to - or honestly more often, hypothetically could be subject to - as taking precedence over the actual murder of tens of thousands of brown people overseas.

      They don’t think of it that way consciously and they’ll get angry and go into cognitive dissonance mode if you point it out, but voting for Dem or Republican requires one flavor or another of white supremacy imo. Or at least prioritizing the damages caused by white supremacy below their own personal priorities.

        Sure - the liberal hatred for Trump is always because he’s too damn stupid to keep the mask on. Their love for Obama was exactly that he could make the tasks of empire look palatable.
