"The protesters are helping to re-elect Trump"

[kanzeon_2040]

I'm seeing this phrase pop up more and more in the news media I consume, as the nationwide campus protests of the Hamas/Israel war spread and continue. Columnists who claim sympathy with Palestinians nevertheless focus their criticisms on pro-Palestinian protesters, not on the genocidal overreaction of Israel, not on Biden's unconditional military

You know what? This "preventing from Trump to win the next election" has taken the shapes of a sect-like religious faith.
And seemingly, enough people in the press are also members of it.

To say it a bit straight: I guess this might be what will be the base of the US demise. People being dogmatic and adopting ersatz-religious beliefs, which all move beyond reality.
On the Democrat side it's their dogmatic belief in US social sciences without realizing that most of their theories they so loyally believe in only apply to the US, but not the rest of the world

I do think liberals have replaced Christianity with a kind of secularized faith in identity-diversity-umbrage politics, whereas Republicans have just stuck with the Old Testament & tax cuts.
