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
Retarded voters
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.
Rhetoric is one thing; actions are another. Trump 1's actions weren't significantly worse than those of past American presidents. Now many people absolutely knew Trump 2 would be much, much worse than Trump 1 (not on Gaza though, to be clear), but most didn't know/denied that before he took office in January. IIRC the mayor of Dearborn said something like "Trump targeted us once and he'll do it again, but we were able to stop him once and we'll do it again."
"Harris hasn't distanced herself sufficiently from Israel"
Gencoide is never a weird hell to die on.
"Helped propel Trump" is absolute copium. Only 40% of Arab Americans voted for Trump, not enough to overturn any swing state.
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
It's about making the right choice. If you're gonna get fucked in the ass regardless, no one is going to mock you when you pick the smaller pineapple.
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.
Cannot have both aipac and democracy
