    No, they’re going to double down on pro Israel talking points and blame the Tankies and our *check notes* belief that humans shouldn’t be genocided, for not voting for genocide enough.

        It really depends. If the actual left can keep the pressure on and keep Palestinian genocide loud enough that the media HAS to cover it, they’ll handwringingly side with Trump, otherwise they’ll try to ignore it as much as possible and use the same tactics they use when covering police murdering minorities when they absolutely MUST cover it.

      It’ll be a tough decision. Do they immediatly start opposing it and have to awkwardly state at their shoes when people ask why they dont have a problem doing it while Biden is still president or do they wait until January and have the same awkward reaction when people ask why this wasn’t a problem 25 hours ago but it is now.

        They’re going to immediately pretend that they have always felt this way. Don’t you know that we’ve always been at war with Eurasia?

        Edit: I lost the plot in the response, I still agree with my original comment but I’m leaving this one for posterity lol. My original point is that the liberals will keep spouting pro Israeli propaganda and blame pro Palestinian activists for the loss, completely ignoring that the Dems continue to move right over and over leaving the progressive portion of their base behind in pursuit of stealing Republican votes.

          Yep, Trump will say that he supports Israel, and liberals will act like they’ve supported palestine this whole time, relying on some vague meaningless statements by Harris.

            I’m guessing the pivot will be something like “I support Israel, but not now; not like this”. Probably a little more polished because party hacks need to justify their paychecks.

              Ah, the Bernie strat. “I support Israel’s right to defend itself but it’s killed too many children so I need to handwring about it”

        They will go with "We opposed Biden doing it, but with Biden we had the chance to push him left! We should have just given Harris everything she wanted, and then push her left! It’s worked so well in the past!
