    Trump was never going to stop any war, but I think the question is about the people who didn’t vote. Maybe people don’t see viable alternatives? Maybe people are hopeless over there? Why do I keep seeing more and more American immigrants in my country? Maybe people are running from something?

    Again, I am a foreigner; But the way I see it; The American government seems very invested on the Genocide of the people of Gaza. On the other hand; The polls I keep seeing on the matter say that American citizens would rather have all that money spent on better healthcare than Giving Israel weapons to kill unarmed civilians.

    Now this is just a thought, but maybe, just maybeeee, condemning the indiscriminate killing of those people and running on better healthcare might have improved their chances of winning.

    Also maybe that contradiction of morality was a boon to the Republican party to exploit during the election. Like feeding on the hopelessness of a voter base that doesn’t support all the decisions of what is supposed to be their party.

      Poll is misleading. No one will say they don’t want better health care, but when voting, most choose the man can keep the pax-America illusion on a bit longer.
