Public buy-in did matter, that's why they've wasted so much money and effort and credibility on trying to brainwash people to become Israel supporters. It's why the Ellison brothers are buying up all of our media. They wouldn't bother if it didn't matter.

But it's too late. We've reached a tipping point and there's no putting the toothpaste back in the tube.

Cynicism. Every attempted Crusader state ended in defeat and retreat, and Israel will be no different.

Yeah they certainly underestimate the number of Democrats that are willing to vote for servants of Israel that have no problem with genocide, but that think they have the moral high ground.
