After calling for the permanent ‘resettlement’ of all Palestinians from Gaza earlier in the day, Trump said the US would ‘take over’ and ‘own’ the Gaza Strip. The US president said he envisioned ‘long-term’ US ownership of Gaza after Palestinians were moved elsewhere
I think many just don’t understand or don’t want to understand the complexity of the public opinion guessing game that is attempting to break the vile equilibrium of a two-party-system without spoilering the worse party into power.
At least that’s what I hope, because the alternative is that they actually think Trump is better and I’m trying to get out of the habit of assuming the worst.
In game-theoretic terms, it’s trivial. Unless your third party comes from nowhere to a wide majority in the polls well before election day, choose the lesser evil and STFU until next time. That’s the only strategy that doesn’t lead us into a mess like the one we’re in now.
It’s really just plain and simple garden variety entitlement. You’ll find that people with little to lose themselves, have absolutely no issue whatsoever when it comes to sacrificing things that others have to lose.
Wether it be white privilege, affluence, being cis, male, what have you…
The end result will be the same:
People will suffer, and when the smoke has cleared, the entitled will refuse to be held accountable.
