Political Memes

The point is to strawman their argument because she can't actually argue against it.

I bet she wouldn't jump at the opportunity to get raped and carry the baby to term! How hypocritical! /s

It is actually worse than that.

E.g. if you want to help starving children, does that mean you want to live in e.g. north Korea?

To me, it seems wanting to help e.g. starving north Korean children, without wanting/planning to get any reward like seeing less starving children on your way to the supermarket, makes you a better person.

Probably that they wouldn't want a life under Hamas which, yeah they probably won't but I don't think they're arguing that it's the best place to live to begin with.

She is being racist

She has a very poor understanding of what's happening in Gaza, and replaces the yawning chasm that is her factual understanding with a dim stereotype view that it's a bad place because the Palestinians are terrible people who don't pull themselves up by their bootstraps

I think her point is that people would probably get hurt if they went there for a college semester even if it wasn't a conflict zone, maybe due to religious or gender discrimination.

Which might be right, as a society they still can improve, but it doesn't mean they deserve to be victims of a genocide. I think we're past religion here, we're just humans concerned for other humans.

what point she even thought

I'm going to stop you right there to tell you she's incapable of doing something like that.

Let’s say she meant “before conflict”. It still does not make sense. Yes, US universities are better. Therefore, what?

The point she is trying to make, is that Hamas doesn’t grant the same freedoms to protest and accept criticism of the government that we claim to allow in the US.

Which is true.

But what she doesn’t get, is that religion, extremism and lack of education is the problem both in the Middle East and in her constituency in the US.

Tribalism is such a core component of the political Right that they can't really fathom how people on the rest of the spectrum can prefer nuance to orthodoxy.

"lmao look at these LGBT idiots protesting for Palestine. Don't they know they'll be lynched or stoned in Palestine?"

- Republicunts and Putin-shills

and yet you didn't even go to genocide university smh

The concept of naturally caring for others is alien to most Republicans.

They just have no empathy whatsoever. The rest of us are normal and can understand the basics of the Golden Rule. Like I want sex pest pedophiles to stop jerking men off at musicals with children present. Even in a Repub area and even if I don't personally feel like watching Beetlejuice.

But they can't get on a plane fast enough for an official government visit to Israel. They love hanging out with Israeli government officials at Mediterranean resorts...

I'll take the downvotes.

I wouldn't have wanted to go in the first place, before the October attacks, which I think is the point this airhead is trying to make. As a bisexual genderfluid bottom that presents femme, the Palestinian regime would be hostile towards me. Realistically, I will never have any interest in traveling to any theocratic country.

What Boebert actually doesn't understand is that I don't fucking care. I don't care if Palestinians would accept me, or if I'd get stoned to death if I made the mistake of going. What Israel is doing is wrong, and I am morally opposed to it. The fact that I don't really care about the tenets of the group that is being slaughtered, that I don't have a ton of respect for the communities being forced from their homes, none of it is going to prevent me from supporting Palestine through this and demanding Israel stop their senseless violence. Genocide is wrong, end of story. That Boebert thinks you need any more reason to protest is the real story here.

But the question is WHY don’t I want to go to Gaza? Hint: it’s something that’s been in the news recently.

Scary Brown People. Also, crime. Also, non-Christian Religions. Also, plus, too, poverty which should be bombed off the face of the earth.

I am a conservative and I am very smart.

U.S. citizens could learn a lot by spending the equivalent of a semester in Gaza

Less than before the fascist apartheid regime deliberately destroyed all of the universities, though.

Deeply unserious people.

That is the essence of conservatism goals. Rules for thee, but not for me.

Does she understand

No.

You could ask this about anything regarding her and the answer would still be no.

She got a GED in her 30s and only because she was going to run for office. She married a guy who exposed himself to her and her friends in a bowling alley while she was a teenager and he was already an adult.

Republicans will cheer any take, no matter how shit, as long that shit comes from the right mouth and lands on the right people.

you should only want to help people if you can get something out of it

That’s exactly what Republicans believe. It’s always “what’s in it for me?”
