I don’t think he’ll stop. But from a practical standpoint you’re voting between the status quo level of genocide, and an even GREATER level of genocide. Voting for MORE genocide is objectively worse.

If anything, he’ll interpret a victory as a mandate.

Perhaps. But Trump will ALSO interpret victory as a mandate, as he’s ALREADY interpreted LOSS as a mandate, and so we’re clear on his stance…

"In statements since the war began, Trump has promised, if elected, to cut off all US aid to Palestinians and urged other nations to follow suit if he returns to the Oval Office.

The former president also pledged to bar refugees from Gaza under an expansion of his first-term travel ban on Muslim-majority countries; expel immigrants who sympathize with Hamas; revoke the visas of foreign students deemed “anti-American” or “antisemitic”; and impose “strong ideological screening” to keep out foreign nationals who “want to abolish Israel”."

I’m not worried that my vote will be interpreted by Trump as a mandate to support genocide, because I’m not voting for Trump.
