Sadly I think a majority of it is just basic brain-rot stupidity. I went through this heartbreak already when Covid hit and I saw the scale of people's brainlessness on full display.

The right is excessively stupid, but even people who think they're on the left have a huge problem with mental faculties. I'm sure there are Russians capitalizing on it, but people on the left are really, really vulnerable to a specific set of emotional triggers and talking points and it doesn't take much to make a whole ass mob of people start screaming how they can't let Harris into office because... and I'm being dead serious, the latest "controversy" is because she promises a cabinet position to a republican, or an advisory board that has republicans.

Literally, one of the most common fixtures of politics, and there are leftists seething and screaming that she's going to "allow them in."

Like it's the fucking Thing, and anything a republican touches will become like them. Or that the White House is a tiny little clubhouse with a secret handshake, or that politics is like a literal combat zone. I just can't wrap my head around how dense people claiming to be on my side are.

So yeah, it's no surprise that for a very real, and very complicated issue like Israel, people are going to behave like absolute primates.
