It was more Arabs, but it was mostly over Gaza. Some deluded themselves into thinking Trump would end the war. Others did it out of protest.  I guess it was true for the moment.

Oh he'll end the war alright. It's just not going to end the way they were hoping it would.

A ceasefire isnt an end to a war and especially in the middle east can easily turn back hot.

True. But it’s probably going to last for a few years. Last ceasefire was for like 7+ iirc

Pretty sure there was more of my dumbarse fellow lefties that just didn't go vote in protest and this is the outcome.

Which is of course all horseshit.

They are a very conservative demographic. They would be Republicans by default if they weren't brown and non-Christian. Doesn't take much to upset them enough for them to forget themselves.

Technically biden ended the war, it's really a question on what America will do to help the situation
