        Most Americans on social media platforms are brushing off the actions of those currently in power because they have convinced themselves that it is somehow Trump that is making decisions for the country (and their entire personality is based on who they align with politically, so aligning themselves with a regime that supports and encouraged genocide completely shatters their reality, so they just ignore it).

        I am just calling out the hypocrisy that your chart is making obvious.

          Trump very much has a role in what’s happening right now. That absolutely does not excuse Biden’s funding of this genocide here and now, but it’s just factually incorrect to not include Trump’s involvement in setting the stage. For example, his administration’s heavy use of vetos in the UNSC related to Israel have absolutely played a direct role in the escalations preceding Oct 7th.
