In a surprising turn, progressive supporters are rallying behind former President Barack Obama's attacks on current President Donald Trump during the US midterms.

Young voters, in particular, are expressing dissatisfaction with the Democratic Party's performance in Congress, with many wanting an end to US military aid to Israel. Obama, who deported over three million immigrants during his presidency, now criticizes Trump for his policies, despite being a war criminal himself. This apparent contradiction reveals the moral and political bankruptcy of the US liberal left.
