Trump has waffled on whether the Israel-Gaza war should end. But speaking to wealthy donors behind closed doors, he said that he supports Israel’s right to continue “its war on terror.”

Former president Donald Trump promised to crush pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses, telling a roomful of donors — a group that he joked included “98 percent of my Jewish friends” — that he would expel student demonstrators from the United States, according to participants in the roundtable event with him in New York.

    And I know this isn’t remotely possible given how entrenched red states are, but if the Dems got a super majority, I fully expect we’d get ranked choice voting, and for the Dem party to split. Progressives and moderates don’t particularly want to be in the same party, but it is a necessity until the racist fascist right (and their judges, etc) can be removed. And that requires a super majority.

    I seriously had a glimmer of hope that this would be the course correction after Jan 6th, but I quickly discovered how foolish I was to think the Right, and their voters, actually have a line to cross.

    Edit - that was an autocorrect error, but still rather accurate…
