In a Truth Social post, Trump attacked Biden − and Hamas − by accusing the president of “taking the side of these terrorists, just like he has sided with the Radical Mobs taking over our college campuses.”

          I know what I meant, and so do you. Of course Republicans are dogshit.

          But I’m not gonna pretend that centrists weren’t screaming abuse at people who opposed genocide until three days ago.

            The only pushback I know of was regarding protesting at the polls. Otherwise, pro-Palestinian protests have been largely popular on Lemmy. Are you being sincere, or attempting to gaslight?

              What distilled fucking hogwash. The fact of the matter is, anytime anyone said that Biden should stop supporting genocide, centrists would immediately assume that the person saying it was advocating for voting for Trump or not voting at all.

              And you could say you were voting for Biden over and over and they wouldn’t believe you and continue the abuse.

              And you’re seriously gonna sit there and lie about it. You’re gonna pretend that centrists haven’t spent the past few months being utterly vicious toward anyone who said that Biden should stop supporting genocide? And you’re accusing me of gaslighting?

              Tell me again how we totally left Iraq in 2007.

                No, what I saw people bristling at mostly were either 1) injecting “yeah, well Biden sucks because genocide” into conversations about Trump or about the election or something in that arena, or 2) people jumping into conversations and rattling off low-effort posts with things like “Genocide Joe” namecalling or just purposeless negativity.

                I haven’t seen many cases where people have pushed back on people who appeared to be trying to have honest discussions and didn’t appear to be trying to justify supporting Trump.

                The general feeling has absolutely been that Biden needs to stop fucking supporting genocide (although people have also definitely tried to say how he’s doing the best he can given limited influence and all options being shitty in some way, or how he’s using the weapons shipments as bargaining chips, or whatever).

                  Guess if you never speak out against genocide, you never get pushback for speaking out against genocide.
