I can’t support someone who keeps supporting Israel

Then anyone Republicans put up for election is off your list. That’s been the deal for the last several decades, evangelicals support Republicans because Republicans support Israel. “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem” and all that shit.

Even Trump took a fairly resolved situation, which was that the capital of Israel was in Tel Aviv (separating the government and the state of Israel from the hotly debated religious claims to ownership of Jerusalem and various sites there) and decided it was too much peace for him. So out of the blue in 2017 he said the US will now recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Cue completely foreseen and avoidable anger and unrest on multiple sides.

There are a lot of people in this thread saying the president doesn’t have much power, but there’s a good example: with the stroke (or spasm) of a pen the orange antichrist effectively moved the capital of a sovereign nation. No Congress, no Senate, no judiciary needed. And in doing so he set back peace in that region to 1947 levels. We’re at the six year mark of that act now: tell me, how is that working out for Israel and Gaza?

But if Republicans are elected, expect more of the same, because the evangelicals are not only convinced their salvation is dependent on their support of Israel, and that “god” will turn a blind eye to their MANY sins if they do this consistently, they are ALSO trying very hard to get Jesus to come back on the return leg of his promised round trip, so they will do everything in their power to destabilize the Middle East because they think that by doing so they can force the divine hand. Or, to use the parlance of that group, they believe war in Israel means they will be taken up in the Rapture. To Glory. While the rest of us bake in the detritus they have left behind.
