When you compare Biden to Trump vs. the effects on the Palestinians, were Trump president again, he would not just help the Israelis exterminate the Palestinians, but encourage them to do so quickly- as he's already told Bibi to "finish it". So your dichotomy is more than a bit disingenuous .

The Overton window is a way of framing change in the baseline ideology of a population. It is hardly a “law” or dogma of any kind. On its own it’s meaningless, you can’t just couch an argument in “…because of the Overton window.” It’s also got its valid detractors like broken window theory and such.

Lol, I wasn't making an argument that anything is "because of the Overton window", the OP of this thread is literally describing how the Overton window works. You, and that other person not liking or understanding it, doesn't change that, nor the fact that what op described is demonstrably happening in politics right in front of your fucking eyes, and only "doesn't follow logic" if you're aggressively wilfully ignorant.
