Last I heard Republicans and Democrats weren't involved in the systematic genocide of an ethnic minority.

America supports Israel financially, politically, and with military support. Israel is genociding Palestinians right now.

And you have constant bombings of civilians in the Middle East.

And you have sanctions on Venezuela and Iran which lead to many many civilian deaths.

Not anymore

That’s silly, of course you can point to things American governments have done that the average voter wouldn’t feel personally responsible for. Many Democrats would accuse the current administration of trying to carry out a genocide against Latin American immigrants, and both Obama and Trump are guilty of countless crimes against humanity overseas.

If you're referring to ICE I would still take my chances being incarcerated in one of their detention facilities over a Uighur concentration camp. Much more likely to get out alive and not sterilized.

That wasn’t the comparison I was making, it was about whether a rank and file Republican non-politician would feel personally responsible for ICE’s actions if they are ever found to be criminal.

An apt comparison would be the West‘s war on terror. In terms of civilians killed I highly doubt that they are anywhere near our numbers.
