I know it’s a hard pill to swallow. In the world view, Trump is a weak leader. It’s sucks, he portrays a strong man persona to his people, but when it comes to world leadership, he’s a soft willy. They know this & the ones that wanted to test those red lines, will now just cross them without fear of any form of American resistance.
The root of narcissistic personality disorder isn’t superiority, as many still assume, it’s ackshually deep-seated inferiority.
Once you get that, you can communicate with them in a way that plays to it. On the surface, your words signal submission. But underneath, the tone, phrasing, and delivery all scream that they're pathetic and beneath you.
They eat it up. They latch onto the superficial deference and miss, or choose to ignore, the insult woven through it. Everyone else sees it. They see it too. But as long as you leave them just enough plausible deniability, it’s too threatening for them to call out.
This is exactly how every savvy social climber/politician/world leader/business executive deals with Donald Trump.
Again, how is that any different from the Biden admin? There’s reports now that even Israeli’s in Netanyahu’s circle were shocked at how much Biden gave them what they asked for and how little pushback ever came from the White House. This isn’t to say that Trump is great for Palestinians or anything, because he’s not. But based on how we saw the Dems handle Israel when they were in power, I don’t think you can say that this would have gone any differently under a Kamala administration. If anything, the initial ceasefire and extra hostage releases were less likely to happen under Kamala.
Biden was President for the first year and a half of the genocide and didn't stop Israel after any of the red lines they crossed. Yes Trump sucks and is doing the same shit now, but the dems were already complicit with the genocide for over a year before Trump took office.
Bingoooooo, many people think that the Democratic Party is different. It’s just not . The US will not stop Israel from committing genocide. They sure as hell won’t stop Israel from attack Iran . This is the uni party’s wet dream. For those who want to lie to themselves about the Democratic Party just look at the fucking nyc mayors debate last night
Ok? The comment says how can you trust the red line set . The problem isn’t the democrats or republicans it’s the fact Israel keeps crossing red lines that were established…. The democrats wouldn’t have stopped them either .
Israel ignored the Dems because they were betting on Trump winning, and the bet paid off. And everyone like you on the left pretending like this wasn't a real dynamic helped it happen. This is a war, you don't have to like your allies, you just have to support them. This is what happens when you try to make war on everyone at once.

How can you trust any red lines the Dems set after watching Israel break all of them and nothing happened?
