    Why would someone who agrees with the Green Party platform prefer Republicans to Democrats? I’m sure such people exist, but I expect they’re a tiny fraction of Green Party voters.

      People who are normally socially and economically conservative (which may in part be due to far-right propaganda news outlets) but also differ in significant ways from mainstream western conservative politics, and they are much more opposed to the genocide than they are supportable of those socioeconomic values. Not so relevant in 2016, a lot more relevant right now. There’s probably more of them than you think.

          Not MAGA voters but possibly conservative Muslims who were influenced by Fox News and other far-right news outlets to think that Trump would be better for the economy.
