Supposedly mainstream but not-so-secretly pro-MAGA outlet Axios spoke to a number of Congressional Democrats who are worried that a few days of on-campus protests from extremist pro-Palestinians are going to be a problem for them in an election six months from now, with one anonymous House Dem saying “The longer [these clashes with cops and college authorities] continue, and the worse that they get, the worse it’s going to be for the election overall” as they fear the shitshow is “bringing out” the squishy, low-info middle electorate’s “most conservative side.”

“Many people are super frustrated and concerned,” another House Dem said. What’s not made clear in the piece is how or why they expect this to go on all summer and into the fall given that just a few weeks are left in the spring semester and that there wouldn’t be bigger problems among the Dem coalition if the “Bibi” Regime is still bombing and massacring innocent people come September.

“We need to remember that a vote for Trump or sitting out this election or voting third party is a vote for Netanyahu,” said one Dem as if this should not be the messaging every single day anyway.

One Democrat who did go on the record, Illinois Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky, seemed to hint that, God forbid, the pressure could result in the protestors actually getting what they want, telling Axios that “it would be very helpful” if there were “some sort of” ceasefire “in Gaza right now.”
