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.

If Trump wins and has his SS start shooting Pro-Palestinian protestors, it’ll be really hard to hold back from saying “told you so”

You’re just telling on yourself that you’re a fascist at heart then.

Elaborate on that logic, please, because it doesn't make sense to me.

Why is it that everybody with a differing opinion than yours is called a fascist? The word does not mean what you think it means and by using it in this manner, you're making the word lose its meaning.

How about bringing real discussion to this thread instead of whatever this is?

This is smelling a lot like the republican "Not everything you don't like is racist/fascist"

How different is the person with the gun to the person who is standing nearby saying "you deserve this"?

What the fuck is this abuser talk? Nowhere did they say anything about deserving it, you are projecting your emotions here.

What they DID say was it'd be difficult to not say I told you so, as in, I told you your choices would lead here. 'You fucked up and now we're here' is a far cry from 'you deserved it'.

Standing by and saying told you so isn't even that different to "you deserve it" if you aren't stepping in to help prevent it.
