66. Race and gender could play into it

It could also be that many of these protestors are basically cowards.

They knew that Biden was wasn’t going to have ICE throw them in a concentration camp.

That they are still going after Harris is something else. Even for those of us disgusted by what Israel is done, this movement will not find an ally in me, because it has no strategy, attacks easy targets, and ultimately falls back on classic good ‘ole anti semetism. I wouldn’t be surprised if a big concern for these protestors was that Harris’ husband is Jewish. I’m sure that got many of them freaking out.

Maybe they figured there were enough anti semites among Trump’s crowd they could find common cause, who knows, maybe our in house defenders can explain idiot logic.
