The different is that Trump has never cracked 40 percent support in the US. Hamas has gotten at high as 75 percent among the Palestinians.

Also Trump lost the popular vote. Democrats have always had more support.

Hamas's opposition only has 14% support.

So sure, not all Palestinians support Hamas, but the overwhelming majority of them either support Hamas strongly or are on the fence about them.

It's hard to form an opposing party when the regime has a tendency to assassinate anyone who does. Do Palestinians really support the principles of Hamas, or are there just no other options in Gaza?

I totally agree. Palestinians have a difficult road forward. But them sorting their own shit out is a prerequisite to their ability to make and execute a peace treaty.
