minus-squareOhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·9 months agoDo you honestly believe that trump wouldn’t also support that genocide? Netanyahu is a longtime friend and supporter of trump’s. Sadly we are stuck with a “lesser of two evils” situation - and Biden, while supporting evil, is still less evil (by far) than trump.

How is genocide the lesser evil?
Because genocide plus fascism is worse than genocide alone. Is this even a real question or are you just trolling?
Genocide is genocide, with or without fascism

You’re right - some things are just unforgivable.
1x Genocide < (1 x Genocide + fascism)
you are right, but god damn do I hate it
Fair. It’s a shit sandwich.
The alternative is the same genocide, plus even more of it in more places, most likely. Including right here on American soil.

Lesser evil is still evil, it really is a testament to how bad things have gotten.
