Have you noticed how the liberal establishment hasn't been nearly as emotional and outraged about Trump's second term as they were about his first? Now that he's the president who bombed Iran, the entire western political/media class is cool with him. The term "Trump Derangement Syndrome" has always been used by the MAGA crowd as a blanket pejorative to protect the president from criticism, but during Trump's first term it wasn't entirely unfair. You'd see Democrats shrieking their lungs out over Trump doing things that other US presidents did all the time like cozying up with dictators and tyrants. They'd lose their minds over relatively sane things like Trump talking about moving troops out of Syria. The whole Russiagate thing was liberals going bat shit over a crazy conspiracy theory that caused them to push for the escalations against Russia which ultimately gave rise to the war in Ukraine. We're not seeing any of that in Trump's second term. That extra layer of screeching emotionality simply isn't there. There are no Russiagates or emotional support Maddows this time around. Democrats hate Trump, but they hate him about as much as they'd hate any Republican president. The emotional response to his second presidency is wildly, wildly different from the first. Which is nuts, because he's quantifiably far worse this time around. His domestic policies are much more tyrannical. He's as evil a warmonger as the White House has ever seen. He's so corrupt that he's just openly admitting to being bought and owned by Zionist oligarchs while making his family a fortune using the power of his office. Now that he doesn't have to worry about re-election, he's being completely nakedly monstrous. And what's creepy is that's WHY the liberal establishment is so much more mellow about him. They're no longer worried that he's going to promote "isolationist" foreign policy and roll back the US war machine. He went to war with Iran, so they like him now. Because they know he's fully compliant.

Only a few days separate Gaza City from complete collapse. What remains of life here is falling apart before the eyes of the world. Desalination plants have stopped, and bakeries, factories, power generators, and vehicles are shutting down one after another due to the lack of fuel and oil. Within days, ambulances and hospital services may completely stop. In hospitals, injured people and patients are dying because of the lack of medicine, medical equipment, and the resources needed to save their lives. There are no sufficient medical supplies, no prosthetic limbs for those who have lost their limbs, and no wheelchairs for the injured and people with disabilities. Most essential materials are being prevented from entering. There is no wood, no iron, no cement, and no materials to rebuild what has been destroyed. Even caravans and shelter units are not allowed to enter. Waste is piling up, and there is no ability to remove or manage it, increasing the spread of diseases and making life more unbearable day after day. The economy is collapsing, unemployment is rising at an alarming rate, aid is decreasing, and thousands of families are struggling just to obtain the most basic necessities of life. An entire city is being brought to a standstill before the eyes of the world. What is the world waiting for before it acts? If the world can see an entire city collapsing, injured people dying in hospitals, and people losing the most basic necessities of life… when will it finally move?
