The cognitive development part was educational, but the thesis is… Meh. Harris didn’t promise to end the genocide in Gaza; she promised to keep doing what Biden did and believe that that would end the war (she refused to admit there even is a genocide), and there was very little Trump could’ve done that Biden isn’t already doing. I also think you’ll find that drawing the line at genocide does make sense if the formal operation you’re doing includes anything beyond the next four years.
The amount of suffering in Gaza over the past year is unimaginable. The number of dead is unimaginable. Sure, you can count the deaths and recite the number. But I think it has as much emotional resonance as if I tell you the sun weighs 2 x 10³⁰ kilograms. It hits the limit of your understanding of scale. it maxes out the dial. All you really understood was “big number”.
But how would that be worse if what’s happening there is just a big number?

Well, Trump is going to get the codes to the nukes in two days, isn’t he? He said “all hell will break loose”.

Uh… None of these are quoting Trump, who just two days ago actually did something about Gaza.
What did he do?
