Even r/Conservative is freaking out about various bits of what is being done. Most of them seemed to think that the tariffs against Canada were a bad idea. Same with the Trail of Tears in Gaza the president is talking about doing.

Reddit is not the real world. In the real world, everyone in power is supporting him or staying quiet.

Even Democratic Governors are laying low.

The “Fifth estate” isn’t helping either:

- ABC News is owned by Disney and Disney doesn’t want to have a fight with Trump after they already lost a fight with mini-Trump (Desantis). I happen to live 10 miles away from Disney

- CNN is owned by Discovery/TimeWarner who needs the administration not to block whatever merger they are trying to make next.

- CBS is owned by Paramount Global is also trying to make a merger deal that that don’t want the government to block.

And why would you think conservatives care about Gaza? A large majority of them are Evangelical Christian and see saving Israel as a step in the second coming of Christ and the rapture (not exaggerating at all).

As far as Trail of Tears, Native Americans are constantly worried about getting rounded up by ICE because ICE can’t tell the difference between them and Mexicans.

I was responding to this part

> You seem to be under the impression that this isn’t what the majority wants?

I hope this isn't your response to me responding to a commentary about the majority

> everyone in power is supporting him or staying quiet.

because that is moving the goalposts.

And the Trail of Tears in Gaza is explicitly about the intent to shove over a million people out of their homeland because we want someone else to have it. There's a few words for what that is, but it all means the same thing.

What I am saying is that too many people don’t understand how many people in the US think Trump can do no wrong and how many don’t care about what happens to people who don’t look like them at best and have active animosity at worse. It’s even worse, many people don’t care about what happens to people who do look like them and make $1/hour less than they do.

Do you think most Trump supporters care about what happens to Palestinians? Everyone who voted for Trump knew exactly what they were getting.
