We don’t really know how much support the Houthis have—but nothing credible suggests it’s anywhere near overwhelming. Most likely, a lot of Yemenis didn’t sign up for this. They’re just the ones paying the price while a bunch of zealots hijack the country for their own agenda.
And this whole “at least we’re on the same moral side” take?

That’s the exact same logic Evangelical Christians use when they support Israel—not because they care about Jews, but because it fits their own apocalyptic fantasy.
So congrats—you’re on the same level.
Cheering for brutal theocrats just because they shout something you like doesn’t make you moral. It makes you a pawn.
Seems you haven't tired yet of being a pawn of the Empire. Vietnam, Iraq etc etc. That Signal chat exposed US immorality and why they bomb "for peace". They called Genocide Joe weak for going easy on Yemen and other Israeli targets. But when this American president points at "bad people", he even points at his own citizens. I'm not saying I want to migrate to Yemen, but if it wasn't for US bombs, I'd visit it before the US.
Well, have you looked at their actual behavior beyond the slogans? I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t want to live under their rule for even a minute.
They’re not the good guys here. Just take a look at Yemen over the past decade and ask yourself—has their influence actually improved the lives of the people they claim to represent? The very people they’re responsible for?
From any utilitarian perspective, they’ve completely forfeited that responsibility in favor of chasing abstract ideological goals. Through their actions, willingly or unwillingly, they’ve destined their own population to live in shits for the next few decades.
And for me, that’s all that matters: how are you, as a government, improving the lives of your people?

…Except, they are trying to get us and Israel to stop the genocide!… Did I miss something?

And that’s how I’m gonna judge you.
Except they’re trying to stop the genocide!
