65. Is it easier to blame the fraction of Dems who voted for Trump because of Gaza...

Then it is to blame the masses of minority Dems who switched parties and those who stayed home? Who of course stayed home because of Gaza but at least didn't vote for Trump.

If only too many people had not defended and excused a genocide there might not have been a Trump 2.0. Or if weapons had been embargoed...if only.
