Beyond youth, MBJ was, for a lot of people, the non-Vallas, non-Lightfoot candidate seen to have the best shot at keeping those two from office, and that’s not a stable base.

I mean, Oct 7 could have been an actual existential threat for Israel if they hadn’t deterred Hezbollah and Iran from attacking simultaneously.
Israel in Gaza has been constant war crimes but it’s hard to argue that Israeli physical security hasn’t dramatically improved (in the near term).

If that’s the parallel they’re trying to achieve, the comparison seems to fall apart pretty quickly when you realize Israel’s motivation is the opposite of America’s in this situation.

Would not be surprised if the MJ jersey were the most popular single piece of clothing on the planet. Still pretty much universally popular in less wealthy areas of the world.

I’m a big fan of Costa Rican “caldosa,” ceviche in a bag of chips (I typically saw it with fritos or doritos). Frequently available from vendors beachside.
