Counterargument: squabbling about "blue team vs red team" is legitimate domestic politics about issues important to voters. You're just upset because what you think the "the whole game" is about is a rare area of general agreement[1] and you happen to be on the "other side".

To wit: when you disagree with everyone, it looks like they're conspiring against you to control the masses, yada yada yada. They're not, you're just in a small minority (or an epistemological prison).

[1] Hardly surprising, since international geopolitics is exactly where you'd expect their interests to align.

How my tax dollars are spent is a domestic issue. As is not implicating me in war crimes.

> They're not, you're just in a small minority

The majority do not support this war, nor do they support Israel. Our politicians refusing to listen to the electorate is also a domestic issue. As are the many attempts that Israel has made to strip us of our fundamental rights.

red team was against endless wars in Middle East, red team specifically elected Trump to be America first and to stop all wars.

if it was indeed about domestic policies, why promises were not held given to the "team"?
