That’s definitely not why people use Chicken Little as an Aesop. The lesson is that if you lie over and over, people won’t believe you when it matters.
Then judge by actions, not words. Since you care so much about Palestinians, how about voting for a candidate that is part of an administration that allows them to seek asylum in the US like Harris. Meanwhile Trump’s whole thing is expelling immigrants and he initiated a Muslim ban the last time he was in office. Surely saving some Palestinians vs saving none is worth a vote?
Would you vote for half your family to be killed so the other half could maybe be spared? How do you choose which family members get to live and die? How would you live with yourself.
I plan to resist whoever is elected. Maybe you’ll join me, instead of just waiting another four years to vote again.
In this scenario there is no third option where nobody dies. Either half your family dies or they all die. Sometimes all the power you have is saving who you can.
By all means, resist whoever is elected. Harris would cause fewer problems to fight over. By letting Trump win, you’re just making it harder on everyone.
What you can do is take your struggle outside the ballot box, because there’s no hope in electoralism. No matter who wins we can defeat them, and at least if Trump wins the liberals will join us instead of just sitting around at home to wait for the next election.
The lesson is also not to ignore a message of obvious danger because the messenger is flawed.

I certainly don’t.

There is hope for the Palestinians who would be given asylum under Harris, but apparently your ego is more important to you than they are.
Oh so it’s okay to exterminate the population of Gaza as long as a few are able to escape to the US.
Also, have you noticed that Palestinians aren’t being given asylum right now?
Not voting won’t stop the genocide. Voting might. Simple as that.
