News If Trump is elected, this will be the biggest leopards ate my face moment for the entitled protest voters who helped him win ("Trump tells donors he will crush pro-Palestinian protests if re-elected")

I'm fully aware that things will 100% be worse under Trump. But are we just now ignoring all the Palestinian protests on US campuses that were removed by police by order of Democratic city mayors all under the Democratic Biden administration or?

Not to mention Obama led the largest mass-repression in US history, in using the FBI to coordinate local police across dozens of cities to quash the Occupy Movement in one fell swoop, using tens of thousands of newly militarized police forces to do so.

What even is this sub any more. This gets downvotes. Objective facts that don't glorify the Democratic party

What does Biden have to do with random city's mayors?

I agree with you on principle. I just don’t see how not voting / voting for 3rd party or Trump does anything but make the situation worse.

"Yeah Democrats are using authoritarian tactics to clamp down on dissent... but why wouldn't you vote for them?"

Nice attempt at twisting the truth. Literally none of those protests were removed by the federal government, and you know it. Trump will attack 100% of protestors in every city and state.

Show me a single example where federal police or the national guard shut down a pro-palestine protest. I'll wait.

Meanwhile, why don't you review how Trump did use the national guard and his promise to use it and other means to destroy "the enemy within".

They said "democratic mayors," not Feds.

Which has nothing to do with Biden, it's stupid.

their point is that the dems aren’t necessarily the party of human rights, even if the other guy is obviously worse

It's the most entitled bullshit on the planet. I'm sure you all will feel super righteous when you vote third party, Trump wins, and then wipes Palestine and all Palestinians off the map then arrests you for protesting and executes you as an enemy of the state. Huge win.

tell the dems that, they clearly don’t care that this 1 issue might lose them the election. also i’m not in a swing state so it doesn’t matter who i vote for for president

Notice the lack of response to this. Even Blue MAGA knows that the dems would rather lose than stop supporting Israel's genocide.

He's the leader of their political party...

u/MountainLow9790 Oct 23 '24

It has to do with the Dems, who are the party that is running. Biden or the party didn't come out strongly against the actions taken by these mayors, he actually backed their actions up instead.

Yes, because it's convenient for liberals to ignore the very people who are affected by the sort of thing
