    cousin voting for Trump because he’s mad about Palestine

    That’s wild, considering Trump went out of his way to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and move the American Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, thus reigniting hostilities involving same that had been dormant since 1948. Because Trump did this – out of the blue and without discernable reason or cause – MANY people were injured and died that did not have to in the demonstrations and open violence that followed. People demonstrated around the world to protest this: Trump was literally kicking peace accords at the foundation just to watch them crumble, and it didn’t matter at all. He did it anyway, and no one was able to stop him despite the absolute insanity it was to begin with.

    If your cousin gives two shits about Palestine at all, and this pro-Trump shit isn’t just performative spite on his part, tell him to read up on this issue. Trump is squarely on the side of “Christian” conservatives trying to force the second coming of Christ, it’s all wrapped up in their bizarre pseudo-Christian mythology, and in the end a vote for Trump is a vote for NO PEACE, ever, anywhere that Netanyahu wants to stretch his own feet.
