It's accurate. When margins are tight any one issue counts as a swing. And the Israel issue did hurt Trump. The general public is way less positive on Israel than the political class. Now more than ever, thankfully. Took them openly committing a genocide to convince these people. There are a lot of people single issue voting on that, especially within the moderates.
And Kamala was less pro-Israel this election than Trump was. So she won those voters who care about that. It's a sizable chunk of people.
There is more than one issue one could make that argument with, that it decided the election. It's all fair because if the issue is larger than the margin then it's true. But that being pro-Israel poisoned a candidate enough to put him under the line is something we want to sell, and sell hard.
And no one in the news is going to push that narrative. So you have to. Likely in more places than here. I suppose I should change that "have to". You get to sell people on Israel having poisoned Trump.
Might as well start putting a few seeds out there ahead of the results so they know how to process it when the results come in. Today is a Trump could have won if he wasn't pro-Israel kind of day.
