"The diametric opposite of America First": A new Trump administration policy threatens to withhold disaster aid from states and cities that boycott Israeli products over human rights abuses.
So… states just have to change their rules such that Israeli products don’t qualify for some reason other than being Israeli. Like, no products from nations recognized to currently be carrying out genocide by the UN, or “no middle eastern countries whose name starts with “I” (Iran is already illegal, Iraq gets dinged, but not buying Iraqi oil at the state level doesn’t sound too big a deal).
Outcome-oriented? Not even. They’re feelings-oriented. If it doesn’t pass the fascist vibe check, they will find an excuse for it not to pass any other check.

I don’t think that would pass muster with the fascists. These fuckers are outcome-oriented, not rule-oriented.
They are 100% appearance oriented.
