Project 2025 laid it all out in black and white. I do not understand all these fuckers whining about getting what they voted for.

Trump claimed not to know anything about project 2025
Well, to be kinder to them; their options were watch their family die, or a final hail Mary and maybe Trump can do something. He did seem to be pretty against the wars in the middle east, according to media. Which I know was deception. So, I dont fault them. I fault Harris for not just saying, "Yes. I will end Israel funding and end the war in Gaza." She could have just done that and swept the win. But dems wanted to play party politics.
So, the people who are waking up every day to find a new family member dead, should not be faulted. The party that abandoned them should.
And lastly, put yourself in their shoes. You have two candidates. One says that what Israel is doing isn't great, but isn't bad and we should just keep rocking on. The other guy is the devil, but he's saying that he'll save your family. It's hard to think when you're in those situations.
Like most things, life is hard. It's gray and nuanced and contradictory at times. But at the end of the day, it is what it is. We have no real control over elections anyway, because not enough people vote. Better to just read on the porch with a cup of coffee and watch the bombs drop wondering when it'll end.
Last week, Ayad joined other Arab American leaders for a meeting with The Associated Press. Many of them had been deeply involved in conversations with both Democrat Kamala Harris’ and Trump’s campaigns as each courted their vote during the last presidential race. “We get this all the time by media, okay? It’s basically, ‘How’d that decision go? How’d that work out for you?’” Ayad said. Among the nearly dozen leaders — ranging from county commissioner to state lawmakers to business owners — there was wide agreement that life had not improved since Trump was sworn into office. But there was little regret. Many said Democrats did not offer a viable alternative because Harris, the vice president at the time, did not distance herself enough from President Joe Biden’s support for Israel’s war in Gaza.

I have such a hard time understanding the sentiment. Trump's very first act in office in 2017 was to pass the Muslim ban. "Harris hasn't distanced herself sufficiently from Israel" seems a weird hill to die on when the other guy literally wants to erase your entire religion and culture from planet earth.
I mean Arabs voting for democrats would also be a leopard's ate my face so I really don't know why this is here might as well sticky this post then another when the democrats are in power
Brutal but I think these faces were going to get eaten no matter what. America has a long history of aiding Israel's genocide.
I do think voters are learning how terrible aipac is and we might see them make decisions based on that. I’m skeptical bc voter memory is terrible.
