    …yes, actually, it is.

    Are the lives of Americans inherently more valuable than the lives of civilians in other countries?

      As an American…yes.

      That’s why I care more about what happens here than what happens in Gaza.

      That’s why what was going on in Gaza during our 2024 elections didn’t play a big role in my decision making. Because we have our own very serious problems to deal with. And, coincidentally, making the right decision, which we didn’t, would have been better for the people in Gaza.

      That’s the truth. Not saying I like it.
