I'd have ask him what evidence he sees that Trump is calling for US support to Israel to be cut, and even if so, what evidence he would use to conclude that Trump could be trusted on that topic.

I pointed out to him that Trump is pissed at Netanyahu for saying good things about Biden, which he sees as a betrayal. He thinks TFG is Putin’s puppet, and Putin supports Palestine, so Trump would therefore pro-Palestine, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I pointed out Trump just likes strong men and envies their ability to do whatever they want; Putin also gave him the blasted emails. Quid pro quo. And he needs Jewish votes. He was just trying to get the spotlight back on himself and vent some spleen.

I don’t have the heart to re-initiate the conversation. At least he wasn’t cheering Hamas butchery. God this war is horrible.

OMG I hadn't considered that my FarLeft might follow this particular line of argument! It's possible.

Sounds penny wise and pound foolish.

I mean, I could see it if your were a Palestinian and you didn't much care what happened in the US. As an American, the idea of conceding that a candidate is the puppet of a foreign power and then voting for him....

I didn’t see that coming, either.

You have my sympathy, we’re all prepared for those alt right Uncle talks, but the alt left kids talks? Painful.
