I'm very aware it's bipartisan, do you think that there are no progressives in congress?

The number of anti-Genocide democrats is low enough that they don't make a material impact on weapon shipments, the Zionists have enough votes to pass what they want. It's a zero-sum deal, either the shipments pass or they don't, and with a super-majority the Zionists are uncontested regardless.

since congress is bipartisan and will continue to vote for more weapons to Israel, Trump will not stop a single shipment

Neither will Kamala.

and will actively lobby congress members to create more bills for more weapons

This is goofy, the US only has so many bombs, and shipments are set by Congress. Is he going to pay out of pocket to increase shipments?
