I guarantee you that this is just to say he said something. And as much as I want the hostages returned, without international pressure I cannot say it would be wise. IMO Trump’s personal (dumbass) plan is “If I get Hamas to return the hostages, I bet I could finish bombing the place without anyone caring and pave it for my next resort,” because deadass I’m 100% convinced that’s the only way Bibi would EVER even play along.

You’re right, but it’s worse. That sentiment isn’t just why our cohort votes right - it’s why our cohort is unwilling to change the status quo. It’s scary, when you have a kid and rent and a partner and aging parents and just a fuckton on your plate, and even if your morals are all in the right place you have to choose between even protesting, potentially being jailed or worse, or just biding time to vote. And that’s ignoring even any actual radical expression. Revolution is a young man’s game.
