Both things matter but I think Trump would be worse.
Oh definitely. That's clear, but it's already pretty damn bad. You should read some of the stories. A dad went to get a birth certificate for his two twin girls that were just born and returned home to find his whole house, his wife, his daughters, everyone he ever cared about gone. These bombs have made in the USA on them are, they are dropped by USA vehicles, or launched by our weapon systems. You think that guy cares that Trump would be worse? I don't think he could even imagine worse if he tried.
How about instead of cheering for nicer genocide or meaner genocide, we, you know, complain about it? If something like that happened to us, I hope people in other parts of the world would folllow Ireland, South Africa, or Colombia's example; and not that of the whipped Americans who sheepishly shrug with a "What you are going to do?" look.
I know it's uncomfortable to hear when we're all cheering for the new administration and feeling good and stuff, I've been loving the vibes, too. But the literal least we could do for them is bring it up, with a "I like her, I just wish she was better about this issue" without dog piling the person. You're not personally betraying her or anything if you do that. We don't have to love Israel. It's not a requirement to being an American, and I don't know how people got that idea that it was.
