Because your protest is failing to consider the ramifications of a Trump Presidency should he win. Project 2025 is no hidden secret and Trump has made it clear he will act like a dictator and purge dissidents. It is hard to take you concern for Palestinians as sincere when Trump has advocated for "finishing the job" and you're willing to set Trans, Minority, and Reproductive rights on fire. A protest vote was already attempted in 2016 with Hillary and instead we have 1 million plus dead due to a botched pandemic response. There are those less privileged who can't just escape should we fall into theocratic fascism.

Guess who benefits from a Trump win: Russia, China, and Isreal. And no doubt they appreciate "useful idiots" to sow discord and create voter apathy because that is the best way to allow Republicans to win. Ukraine will fall, China will be more emboldened to attack Taiwan, and Netanyahu will have his buddy back in office rubber stamping even more terror.

Because your protest...

Let me stop you right there: the protests that are being talked about by us (Frog and I), and by Trump, are the actual, real-life, on-the-ground protests against the Genocide in Gaza. We're not talking about hypothetical protest voting in November.

Or hey, maybe I'm being naive, and you really are saying that people shouldn't be protesting the Genocide in Gaza?
