President Donald Trump indicated Saturday that he had spoken with the king of Jordan about a potential plan to construct housing and move more than 1 million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to other countries, a remarkable and unusual proposal from a sitting US president.
I’m married to a Palestinian and so I’m hyper-aware about lip service, and I think you’re right. My perception is that they are weak-minded people too naive or stupid to realize they’ve been conned into sitting out the election by a right-wing psyop. And they also have this mentality that a candidate has to be perfect in every way (by their standards) or they won’t sully their purity by voting for them. They’re the same sort of people who shop at Whole Foods because anything less than perfect should never pass their lips, and don’t notice or care that it’s just funnelling their money to Bezos.
Yes? Has been since before the rise of truly fake news on social media in the run up to the 2016 election.
It was all anti Hillary stuff, but of course the right is the embodiment of projection, and so trump latched on to the “fake news” term with glee to discredit any and all news that he didn’t like.
They never gave a shit about Palestine. It was just another example of “The Issue” for them to base their entire personality around to pose online.

Winning the election, obviously. It’s not a subtle implication, they basically said it, how are you confused?
