A while back a friend of mine told me that Trump had “crossed a line” with his blasphemous Jesus image, and I quietly privately gritted my teeth. Seriously, that’s a line? He was never a Trump supporter to begin with but this was worse than all the child rape and the ruination he’s bringing to the world?
Same thing here. If US conservatives decide to turn on the Israelis over this, sure, I’ll be happy they turned on them. But that this is the thing that does it, and not all the genocide and apartheid and whatnot, that doesn’t exactly put them in my good books.
Stop gritting your teeth and do something useful with them like biting their throat out
Is that what you do to conservatives?
I certainly don’t keep quiet out of cowardice.
But you bite their throats out? Like, on sight?
Sure, why not, it’s a completely literal world we live in.
