Wtf are you talking about? Free Palestine protesters are still actively organizing their communities and providing support where they can. The same groups are literally still staging actions and fighting for the freedom, liberatation, and survival of Palestinian people at home and abroad. Who do you think you're clowning on with this meme? The people fighting against genocide didnt just give up because we have a new worse president.
They're literally at the White House as we speak lol....

The real question is why is OP still supporting a genocide now that it's trump in office and not Biden.
Like, it apparently wasn't about blind loyalty to Biden, they just authentically support genocide.
Rather alarming number of people I've encountered in the UK have a view something like "it's horrible, but they brought it on themselves". These don't seem to be straightforward horrible people. As they would also say the Holocaust and Armenia and Rwanda (etc) were evil.
“I started ignoring the pro-Palestinians because I decided I don’t care anymore. Where did all the pro-Palestinians go?” -OP
The people "fighting against genocide" in exactly one place in the world and no others played a not insignificant role in why we have a new worse president in the first place.
Blame the people who support genocide, not those who oppose it. jfc libs.
Where else are you and the USA supporting genocide?
We are. Your options were genocide and uber genocide.
When there are exactly two options before you, and one of them will be selected, and neither one is perfect, and you spend all your effort bitching about the least bad choice, you're helping get the most bad choice selected.
Good work.
Despite what you may have been led to believe, anti-genocide groups have never spent "all their effort" on electoral politics. You're choosing to spend your time right now bitching about those fighting oppression rather than joining the fight.
Good work.
Most Palestine spaces banned anyone who explained why Trump was objectively worse so yes, the ones who created those echo chambers and participated spreading those narratives to the wider population deserve to be called on it.
How many comments have you made about what China is doing to the Uighurs?
In addition to the other replies, there's also quite a large difference between the actions of a foreign government doing something our current government already considers human rights abuse and the actions of a foreign government defended by our own, carried out with weapons manufactured and supplied by us, and where any criticism or protest of said support is categorized by nearly every politician as either antisemitism or tacit support of republican extremism. Both are genocide, but trying to protest the actions of the Chinese government as a US citizen in the US is pretty pointless, it's better to focus efforts where it has a more direct impact. You don't need to evenly split your attention between every single issue in order to be allowed to talk about any of them.
I align with what Twiddle is saying and as for me, plenty, across multiple platforms. Genocide is bad whether you choose to pay attention or not. Thank you for asking!
I'm an anarchist not a tankie thank you. Typical lib behaviour to assume though. Very helpful to your case.
Do you not know what an anarchist is? Its okay to admit it. Anarchists oppose authority and all unjust hierarchies.
Every time I make a comment (very high bar you've set for determining my political activity level BTW /s) calling for the liberation of all oppressed peoples, I'm talking about Uighurs, Palestinians, Indigenous peoples, the working class, and anyone imprisoned or oppressed by hierarchical power structures.
Go read a book.
America and the west is so racist even the rise of fascism is blamed on brown people
