Unfortunately there was a significant bloc of Arab-American (and just anti-genocide) US voters that thought trump cared about them and their plight. It was shortly after the election when he started hiring the most genocidal cabinet that they said, “hey!” There were a lot of articles about it. How people fell for that I don’t understand—well, I do, but I wish I didn’t. People can’t think two feet in front of their faces. They got on the whole “genocide Joe” train—which, let’s be real, this admin is very much bloody-handed. But that does not make the other option better. People cannot grasp nuance whatsoever. It’s an all-encompassing problem that manifested in this way this time.
us Arabs have never been smart at politics. I’m very mixed on this issue… I hate Kamala/biden’s guts, due to them trying to act morally superior, yet supporting genocide. But i have literally no standards or expectations from that moron, trump. If i was american, i’d vote for kamala begrudgingly.
Often when this stuff happens i like to think of two quotes that perfectly describes arabic politics, lmao (both were said by arabs btw, which makes it even funnier):
“When the evil of the west is combined with the stupidity of arabs, nations fall”
“If you give Muslims 2 countries, they would bring Sharia to the first then immigrate to the second.”
