Ive heard that many Republicans are pissed at Trump and Co about the lack of progress here since child trafficking was a big part of the QAnon bullshit. On the left, many people were willing to forgive genocide to get a paltry win at the ballot box so I can't say either side really has the high ground.
No, "the left" HAS NEVER forgiven genocide. In fact, that's a BIG part of why Harris lost: many actual leftists couldn't stomach voting for someone that was going to continue support for Israel.
Forgive may be a bit generous, at least in a lot of cases, I'd even argue most cases. We knew it was an inevitability with the only choices we had.
