Yeah, getting pissed about genocide actually is kinda like getting pissed about a medical system that is killing people by the thousands. Setting aside your slur, you aren't entirely wrong.

If I were a Republican strategist, I would have trolls doing exactly what you are, in addition to trolls attacking Biden. Maybe that's even you, but I don't know how we could tell.

If you want to argue that Biden isn't as culpable for what's going on as many think he is, I think there is a case to be made. Biden sure makes it difficult, not to mention Pelosi's latest idiocy, but foreign policy is complicated. I personally don't think "Genocide Joe" is entirely fair, but I also know that you aren't going to convince people of that by being an asshole and throwing slurs at them.
