    Given what the average person has fallen for to-date, I don’t share your optimism on this. Democrats openly and explicitly supported an ongoing genocide last election, I fail to see how much further there is to fall.

      Except they weren’t open about it. That’s why so many people abandoned them in the election: they refused to admit a genocide was happening, lied about trying to stop it, and pretended it was all just anti-terrorism.

      And people did not fall for it. The smoke cleared and the mirrors shattered - just enough that Harris lost millions of the same voters Biden won with.

      People are waking up; it’s just slower than we’d like.
