Considering their main export is genocide and dictatorship apologia, I do

Add a soyjak with an ushanka in the bottom frame next to the chud for extra accuracy

Let's start by acknowledging that previous presidents have been able to mitigate the worst excesses of Israel's genocide of Palestinians in the past and that the slaughter we're seeing right now is unprecedented and eclipses even the Nakba. Biden is a committed zionist and has willingly enabled this massive escalation of the genocide. Not only did he undemine Hillary Clinton's negotionations with Israel during Obama's administration, he has now sent two carrier groups to reinforce the IDF. A president with any spine or moral compass on the issue would have negotiated, and failing that, followed through on an escalating list of consequences similar to those imposed on apartheid-era South Africa. The US stands alone as the only major power in several organizations like the UN, G7, and NATO to ardently support Israel's genocide. That could end, but Biden would never do that.

Dem technocrats are drastically out of touch and don't realize how much aggrivement towards the status quo and desire for change there really is. Trump doesn't do policy and it doesn't matter because the people don't care about policy either. We live in turbulent times, and there's a groundswell of support for a nebulous 'change'. Trump positioned himself as anti-establishment, persecuted, and radical in a way that was appealing enough to retain his voter base. Meanwhile, Harris' institutionalism, focus on incrementalist policy, and boring rhetoric failed to galvanize support.

The gap

I'd make the (debatably semantic) argument that liberals, especially neoliberals are conservatives and that those in parties like the GOP and AfD are reactionaries

I don't think the two of you actually disagree, I think you're just using the term 'life' differently. You're making the point that there are parts of life that are manmade and subject to change, like the economy which can and should be changed to help people. Meanwhile they used the phrase 'life isn't fair' in what they're saying is a descriptive rather than a prescriptive sense. They don't think of it as a thought terminating cliche and they don't oppose reform, they just see it as an accurate and realistic outlook for the time being.

Actually dumbass I'm on my computer

Or alternatively, 'no, of course you're not going to hell, you'll just be spending time in our heated subterranean accommodations'

The IDF has deliberately killed many journalists and aid workers from the UN and NGOs, but yeah, if you're not literally risking your life under Israeli bombardment and gunfire you're a slacktivist.
