Somehow I doubt that liberals will continue being outraged about bin Salman murdering Khashoggi once a Dem gets into office again. After all, Biden kissed the crown prince's ring once oil prices started going up, and they never made a peep about it.
Trump defends Saudi crown prince over killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi: 'He knew nothing'
Mohammed bin Salman received a warm welcome during his first visit to the White House since Khashoggi's death, which the CIA concluded the crown prince ordered.

Eddington suffers from 'both sides are extreme,' portraying Gen Z as assholes, who are incidentally proven right when Joe does everything they're talking about. I'm not even sure Aster is aware he's crafted the story that way holding onto 'Everyone is an crazy asshole but me, the sensible moderate.'
