DES MOINES, IA — Jessica Djukanovic, a conservative wrestling coach, mother of four, and loyal voter for the “Traditional Values and Strict Legislation Party,” is reportedly “shocked and appalled” to discover that the very laws she helped implement are currently treating her life as a secondary concern to a non-viable fetus.

Ignoring your false premise that Democratic candidates were *in favor of genocide", particularly in a way that any other viable candidate wasn't, and ignoring that Democratic voters weren't in favor of those policies: you still have the fact that an Americans opinion on how our government should pressure another government to act towards another group is fundamentally different from an Americans opinion on how their government should treat them.

You're saying Americans should be genocided because what Israel is doing to Palestine is abhorrent.
I'm saying my sympathy for people who get hurt by what they explicitly voted for is limited to voting for them to not be hurt.

Democratic candidates were *in favor of genocide"

John Fetterman was walking past a group of pro-Palestinian protesters at the Capitol this month when, according to his aides, they accused him of having blood on his hands for supporting Israel in its war against Hamas. The Pennsylvania Democrat then went into his Senate office and grabbed an Israeli flag, his staff said, so he could wave it at the activists while they were being arrested.

Your party is awash in the blood of Gaza's children. And your voters continue to support the leaders that make this holocaust possible.

When your time comes, I wonder how you'll feel when others point and laugh?

Brain damaged Fetterman, the beacon of the Democrat party.
