    Well, what I mean is that voting “against” a genocide across the globe could very well enable a genocide here, because it can and has happened before.

    I live in a reservation, but I can drive 20 minutes to see the house my great grandmother lost to a white man because he was more important. My family tree has lots of people that died in their 20’s and 30’s of “Tuberculosis” and other BS reasons just to lose their land allotments, and we didn’t even have headrights to our land in our tribal deal to be removed from our homeland by force.

    So yes, genocide in the US is always fresh in my mind and I don’t see that it’d take a lot to whip up Proud Boys and MAGA heads into doing the next round on anyone that wasn’t straight, white, and Protestant. And I cannot fathom why anyone would enable Trump to do that again because of Palestine, which Trump would enable anyway.
