Donald Trump presented a plan for ethnic cleansing in Gaza. The overwhelming reaction was to make it clear that the plan was immoral, illegal, and intolerable.
But some Democratic operatives thought it was a good time to engage in denial of the fact that all of this was enabled and set up by the genocidal policies of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and to denigrate voters—sometimes even attacking particular ethnicities—who couldn’t bring themselves to vote for genocide in November.
I respond to those people here. But more importantly, it is important to remember that it is people like this who are the reason that even in the face of authoritarian madness like that of Trump and the GOP the Democrats still can’t win. Blaming voters because your candidate embraced genocide is suicidal politics.
