Color me surprised that the facist sympathizes with other fascists committing a genocide.

    It was because Biden and the Democrats were against it. Trump literally looks at when the Dems are doing and says they are the exact opposite of it.

    Same happened with the US border. The Reps kept demanding money for border security for months, including Trump. In the end, Biden agreed they could have it. The moment the Dems were ok with this, Trump demanded that the Reps be against it, and the Reps voted against the money. It didn't happen in the end.

    You're wrong about the border. One of his main shticks is immigrates invading the country over the southern border. If they passed the border bill, and Biden shut down the border, he loses a huge talking point with his base and a huge fear of theirs that he can prey on.

    He didn't block it because Democrats were for it, he blocked it because he doesn't actually care about protecting his base from any invasion, he cares only about himself.

    You'll see that he'll keep talking about the border.

    That's a lot of words to say that trump tanked the border deal because the Democrats were ok with it.

    No, it's saying he tanked it because he wants to border to be open because he believe it helps him win.

    Hell, the Democrats aren't even "for it" it was just compromise...or really I think it was a political move to take that away from trump and get what they think is important (support for Ukraine).

    Again, just watch, he'll hammer on the border over and over again during the general election. At that point will you admit I'm right?

    So, you're saying that Trump and Republicans haven't been demanding money for the border for months, and that when the Democrats finally agreed to the funding, the Republicans didn't suddenly vote against it?

    No, I'm not saying that. Feel free to read my clarification again.

    (Edit) Sorry thought this was in the same chain. No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying he wants the border open because he thinks it helps him win. he isn't vocally against border security now, he'll continue to hammer away at it because its red meat for his base. He's against it getting closed because then he can't hammer away at it.

    I wasn't saying he was against border security either though. I'm saying he was suddenly against funding anything to do with it the moment the Dems were acceptable to funding it (doesn't matter the reason for it).

    He could have crowed on that the security happened because of Reps and his lobbying, but instead went against funding it the moment Dems said yes to it.

    Except he's going to continue to harp on border security. He isn't taking the position because he just does the opposite of the Dems, he blocked it because it takes away a talking point. Now he can and will continue to talk about it. He didn't even change his position.

    He didn’t block it because Democrats were for it, he blocked it because he doesn’t actually care about protecting his base from any invasion, he cares only about himself.

    It's worse than that. Far right extremist politicians want the country to suffer. The worse it is, the better they are doing. So he's not only not caring about people suffering but he wants them to suffer!

    Shipping weapons used in genocide is supporting genocide and you know it.

    EDIT: I can't read apparently.

    I've asked it before, but I wonder how Hitler would react to Israel. Probably be beaming with pride, like a master does when their apprentice surpasses them. I imagine when Netanyahu finally shuffles his way off this mortal coil, and his soul goes wherever Hitler's is, Adolf will probably shake his hand.
