    Liberals absolutely did this and not just to Muslims. Over the past year I can’t count how many times I got accused of wanting a gay, trans, Latin, etc genocide here in America because I didn’t want a genocide in Palestine.

    I was outright told my choices were an American minority genocide plus Palestinian genocide, or just the one in Palestine. What they never even suggested is that is that if these are our only options, there should be riots, not voting. Instead they browbeat leftists by saying Trump will be a Double Zionist or something.

    This is the same feeling I get back when liberals were rabidly in favor of the Iraq War, then after Bush got re-elected suddenly they all flipped to opposing it. They wanted Bush to win, or at least someone kinda like Bush (Kerry), so they could still peddle their controlled opposition garbage.

      My answer to that has repeatedly been that I am not a nationalist nor a supremacist.

      They are making you decide that american lives have a higher value than any of the other working class lives in this world. They are asking you to be an american national supremacist by making you choose.
