I realize that’s what it was at face value but the reality worth keeping in mind is that one side would have likely been more open to continued pressure to shift stances after the election, but felt like they had to say certain things publicly prior to the election because this country spent the past 30+ years ejecting anyone that didn’t fully back Israel.

People only started caring enough to make this an issue within the past year. I’m not trying to shift blame or apologize for the system, but in what world can that sort of political entrenchment combined with the drawn out multi year election cycle be completely undone within a single election year?

This was all set in motion in 2016 and whats happening now is just that boulder coming to rest. Entire generations have been born and died (and/or murdered) in this prison.

Perhaps it’s best to make the distinction that this is creating a new type of predator, Violence Predators. Because that’s what the problem is. Right now they are going after the targets no one cares about, when they run low on those targets, either because the need for “content/violence” outpaces the supply of easy targets, some of them will find new ones, while using the old label to mask what they are doing.

So make that distinction, because it’s not about the people hunting pedophiles, it’s about the people hunting for violence. If there’s an overlap that doesn’t need to be the focus of the argument, because that’s the red herring.

Ok, for real this just helped me make sense of a whole mess of stressful shit running through my brain today. Thank you.

They all banked the first time he was president. It’s all us regular people who got boned.
