If they went to the Republican rallies, the Republicans would violently attack them. Trump has repeatedly and explicitly told them to do so. I can’t blame them for not protesting where they know it would land them in the hospital, or worse.

So if the democrats violently attacked them they wouldn’t protest?

Interesting, nuanced even.

Willing to put the lives of marginalized people in danger with a trump presidency but if their physical well being is threated, genocide away.

So, here’s the real reason they don’t show to trump rallies. They are under the impression they can influence the Harris campaign into supporting policy that will strong arm Isreal into ending the Palestinian genocide. Is it far fetched? Possibly, but they are desperate.

Unfortunately, we are all pretty desperate right now. So, the whole weighing human suffering thing is kind of… deaf ears and all that…

If Harris and Biden were explicitly telling their supporters to attack protesters, I know I would stop protesting at their events. I dunno about these particular protesters, but I would imagine that sort of hateful rhetoric would certainly have a cooling effect on any hypothetical protests in such a scenario.

Well, there’s one of two protests I would attend. And no not because I secretly would like to punch a red hat. I’m pretty open about that.

Possibly, but they are desperate.

im not sure if its desperation, i think it’s that they’re all just single issue voters, they have literally nothing else in life that they care about.

I feel like if they were desperate they would probably run disinfo farms or like, fight in the conflict. But what do i know.
