There is literally no difference

The LGBTQ+ and all free-thinking women in America would probably disagree.

No one voted thinking genocide would end. So I’m not sure what you thought would happen. There is a shit ton of nuance and complexity to that situation and it’s not going ways anytime soon.

But for the other damage trump has promised to cause- tell me…

Did you see Kamala Harris rounding up and deporting American’s born from immigrants? Did you see her restricting trans-rights to serve in the military? Did you see her dismantling our education system? Did you see her pulling us out of climate acts?

It must be nice to be so entitled that you can sacrifice the freedoms of other people because you decided to take on a brand new single issue protest.

Especially when that single issue has been going on for decades before you ever even knew about it.

Not to mention, with Harris, we could expect her to respond to backlash pushing her to protect Palestinians, she likely could have at least been pushed by public perception to do better.

Trump is going to do whatever Trump wants to do or is paid to do because he knows his followers aren't going to abandon him, and realistically he's not having to worry about reelection at this point (either he'll term out, be made dictator for life, or decide he just wants to retire (or dies in office, which is entirely possible at his age)). No amount of protesting is going to move him.
