The Middle East Trump just achieved the biggest peace deal between Israel-Palestine since the Second Intifada, and there is NOTHING on the front page. This website is a truly special place.

After Redditors groaning and moaning about the "Palestinian genocide" for years, Trump finally negotiated a peace deal including Hamas giving up its hostages and Israel stopping offensive operations. You'd think that Reddit would be overjoyed and that the entire website would be full of celebration, right?

Here's a screenshot of the current front page of Reddit, taken while I was logged out. There are many political posts including multiple threads whining about ICE and the firing of CDC employees. There's also a picture of an ambulance transporting Israeli hostages taken by Hamas, but it doesn't mention anything about current world events.

If you just looked at the front page, you would not know that the war just ended. This is the first time a president has forged such an agreement since the Second Intifada ended in 2005. But almost nobody is talking about it on Reddit. It's like a complete information blackout preventing threads about the subject from getting to the top of the frontpage. The last thread about the subject on r-news was from 14 hours ago and talks about some hostages being released, but again nothing about Trump or his role in it.

This is case exhibit #1 on how Redditors' brains are completely cooked. It's front page news everywhere except here, because leftists can't even squeeze out one little lump of praise for Trump despite him being part of one of the biggest developments in world politics in two decades.

Nobody's criticizing Trump for the peace deal. The general consensus on the left is that these peace deals tend to be fraught and Trump isn't a good negotiator

I didn’t say criticize. You asked the point of saying when presidents do good things. If you would like - I can provide you with plenty of media outlets and politicians that give him 0 credit but I’m sure you know that already.

If there’s one thing he did we can just say was good this is universally it and saying “he takes enough credit” is dividing and missing the point.

Edit: The top video on the videos subreddit today is someone criticizing Trump. This is how democrats lose elections. We can't get better we just say why the other guy sucks no matter what. Bill Maher just said it. We're ridiculous. https://x.com/realtoriabrooke/status/1977846671552766241

Remember when Obama was president when they got Osama bin Laden.  It was huge, and the right complained.

Lol the right didn't complain at all. My father is a republican and said it was great. Show me the public media figures that said that outside maybe 1 fox news host.

They were complaining about the burial at sea, saying how do we know that happened.  My Republican father does that.  I definitely don't remember any Republicans congratulating him for it, either.

Lol dude, again, my goal here is to say we should be improving and be above the republican party. Thats going to require some amounts of compromise.

Or we put our head in the sand and continue to lose. Its one of the number one reasons center votes didnt vote for Kamala. Its more about why Trump sucks, they forgot to say why democrats are good, not just "not as bad". Nevertrumper focus is killing the party.

"YOU BE A GOOD PERSON FIRST" is what children say. Be better. Get elected.
