I don’t think they are “ clueless”
They are the totally left wing, progressive and globalist agenda indoctrinated dregs of dysfunctional academia and democrat partisanship. Just as committed as Hamas and Tehran to the destruction of Israel and humiliation of American power in the middle east.
Just look at the career of the person in charge of USAID: Samantha Power. No wonder her agency is in revolt against US official policy.
Then look at Blinken AND his assistant SecDef: Victoria “F the EU” Nuland?
Seriously? Surprised she hasn’t sent cookies to Hamas.
1/2 of DC hates and wants to see the USA destroyed. And they are paid by the US government to do just that.
TRAITORS ALL!
