Illustration: Benjamin Netanyahu, a genocidal mass murderer, recently addressed the UN General Assembly. Over 50 people walked out. If they, instead, had bum-rushed him and quartered him, the world might be different today.

Despite...everything, I still believe the number of decent people in the world outnumber the terrible ones. But that's a double-edged sword. Cuz the decent people aren't willing to do what the terrible ones are.

I keep seeing people post about how you gotta vote blue in the midterms to fix all this, and how 'we gotta get Trump out of the white house asap'... Americans elected him TWICE and many voted for him x3. The fascist problem in America isn't Trump. It's AMERICANS.

Fun fact Across multiple scholarly studies AND citizen polls (polls not depicted) Donald Trump consistently ranks in the bottom three (top three?) for WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY. He's typically only beat out by the guy who is blamed for the CIVIL WAR and the guy who fought against Civil Rights

Disturbing thought: What if Trump is just a patsy? What if this is all a psyop? And when Trump's term ends and he 'tries to run again' and fails, all the people on the left let their guard down a little bit. But, he normalized just enough CRAZY ish for fascism to find a foothold anyway.

There's lots of pretty evil stuff going on in the world. Some of it a bit shocking, some not surprising. But until my dying day I will never forget (or forgive) that Isreal is committing a literal genocide against the Palestinians, and the whole world has just been letting it happen.

I don't disagree at all. But, you could switch out what he said about 9/11 for almost anything he's done...weekly...since re-election and your statement would still be accurate. At this point I chalk it up to the US is a failed experiment.
