Trump’s base was vocally divided over the prospects of direct U.S. attacks up until the moment they happened.
The MAGA movement’s top influencers were divided over bombing Iran until Donald Trump did just that Saturday night.
Now, at least for the time being, the lay leaders in Trump’s base appear to be rallying around a position that spares Trump criticism: Direct attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities are justified, as long as American troops aren’t sent into a third full war halfway around the world in the last quarter of a century.
The context as us asking for Palestinian or queer voices to be part of the campaign, and we got a neocon instead. We could have had “all of the above” but they were only interested in inviting those further on the right.
But there were queer voices speaking for the campaign. There weren’t really trans people, even though there should have been. But there were definitely queer voices being out there. Also many many progessives campaigned for her as well. Fuckin hell Tim Waltz is an incredibly progressive governor and he was on the ticket.
As for Palestinian voices, sure. Those should have been there absolutely. But them not being there doesn’t somehow invalidate that there still was a coalition of people trying to join together to fight against Fascists.
It kind of does though? It is like the inverse of the Nazis at a table story. If a Nazi stands at the door to keep Jews out and liberals are inside dining but don’t ever talk about the Jews or invite a Jewish person in then it really does call into question what they are against the Nazis for.
