Trump has no plan to exterminate Gaza. You just made that up. Have you ever credited him with the ceasefire that stopped the mass killing in Palestine? I'd wager no, or you caveated it with 100 reasons why Trump So Bad For Gaza.

Seems you would have preferred Kamala in office, still dumping bombs, but saying nice words? That is the only conclusion one can draw from essay after essay focused on "Trump Bad, Don't Ever Hope!"

I mean, certainly in your estimation, it is much worse for a president to say "the Riviera of Gaza" than to send and drop hundreds of thousands of bombs. By your logic it is much, much worse to say Mean Words. Surely there is no other possible reason Trump would say those four words than that he is all yay on genocide. Never mind the ceasefire that his people forced on Israel. You'd rather the bombs kept falling, I reckon. How dare he say Riviera of Gaza! The ceasefire wasn't good enough! Israel broke the ceasefire so it was all bullshit! What else can we be angry about during our 30 minutes of daily anger?!! Gotta be about Trump!!! Gotta hate MAGA!!!!

Have you written anything about The Good Things that Trump is doing, or are you firmly allied with the Wholly Irrelevant "Left" allied with the Identity Left who codes "Trump bad" and therefore ignore any non-left purveyors of info? I rather doubt you ever read or listen to nuanced opinions on Trump's actions, as your goal is Sensationalist Left Coverage of Trump Bad.

How do you not see that the entire country absolutely despises the left? How do you not see the MAGA movement already trying for revolution? But it's not good enough for you. A MAGA person might say something irreverent about an undocumented immigrant, and therefore MAGA SO BAD. Nuance is for the birds, right? If someone says one Thing Bad, they are a worthless, evil person.

For some reason I thought you wrote with nuance, but that disappeared as soon as Trump took office. Nothing exists in your essays except Palestine- that is the ONLY metric to judge world leaders, we're all fucked, so just give up. I mean thinking you're gonna revive communism when you have a whole revolutionary movement right in front of your face- well it's a very misguided perspective. I'd blame it on your youth but I thought you were smarter than that. Why associate with CPI when you absolutely despise non-leftists?

You must think we have decades to "build a leftist movement". And this-this constant striving for what doesn’t exist and blindness to what does- is why the left, where you insist on planting yourself, is completely and utterly irrelevant, with an Absolute Incapacity for Nuanced Thought.
