They're going to immediately pretend that they have always felt this way. Don't you know that we've always been at war with Eurasia?

Edit: I lost the plot in the response, I still agree with my original comment but I'm leaving this one for posterity lol. My original point is that the liberals will keep spouting pro Israeli propaganda and blame pro Palestinian activists for the loss, completely ignoring that the Dems continue to move right over and over leaving the progressive portion of their base behind in pursuit of stealing Republican votes.

Yep, Trump will say that he supports Israel, and liberals will act like they've supported palestine this whole time, relying on some vague meaningless statements by Harris.

I'm guessing the pivot will be something like "I support Israel, but not now; not like this". Probably a little more polished because party hacks need to justify their paychecks.

Ah, the Bernie strat. "I support Israel's right to defend itself but it's killed too many children so I need to handwring about it"
