Most leftist voters around me knew that a vote for Harris or Trump was a vote for genocide, but I don't think anyone but the truly gullible thought that a vote for Trump was a vote against genocide. Most voted for Harris as a means of harm reduction, especially considering that Harris could probably be pressured out of genocide if we made a big enough stink.
The whole "Genocide Joe" trope reminds me a lot of the "Bernie Bro's" trope of 2016; a largely manufactured division of leftist and liberal voters to promote infighting.
Could be a good thing or a bad thing for you; Witch King is very, very different from the Murderbot series. I see a lot of people liking one and hating the other (in both directions), and not a lot of people liking both.
My advice would be to have your expectations set like it was a completely different author.
