You probably already know but, those arguments aren't why the GOP were outraged. It's what they thought would be most likely to get the public outraged.
"the public" seems dumb as fuck.
Yes, you can blame the GOP for defunding education as well.
(I have exactly zero love for the Zionazi-owned Dems either but I'm not aware of them ever defunding education)
Or discriminating against gays, or cutting food stamps, or invading Greenland, or storing nuclear secrets in bathrooms, or...
I do recall them being unabashedly genocidal in Palestine though, so I'm not exactly in a rush to give them credit for less-than-the-bare-minimum.
That's table stakes in the US unfortunately. There's no option for "no genocide", you need a complete reform of the electoral system (basically anything newer than 18th century will do) and then some new political parties. But since that is wishful thinking at the moment, the lesser of two evils will do.
Weird, I was able to find one.
"genocide is the lesser of two evils" is exactly where this mentality has gotten you. You may be compromised enough to sign your name off on that. I am not and never will be.
Last time I looked, the genocide actually has expanded to Lebanon, with threats to directly implement it in Iran. Congrats, I guess?
Where?
The public is way less intelligent than "dumb as fuck" hopefully we can get there on the way to marginally dumb. But I doubt it
That no longer matters as they are not the ones in charge anymore...
That's not true, and a dangerous cop out
We shall see, only time will tell (though it's interesting that any sitting President is allowed to legally assassinate anyone they want with virtually no oversight that we are told of).
Fair.
