Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.

Kamala Harris still won Wayne county and its electoral votes where Deerborn is located so this article is 100% bullshit aimed at blaming powerless people, Arabs and people who tried to pressure the democratic party to do the right thing even though it wasn't their fault.

Donald Trump flipped nearly every other white county in Michigan to win that state.

At least Kamala ain’t president! She might’ve refused to attack Iran and brought back Obama’s nuclear deal. Worse still, she may have not taken direct orders from Israel.

Worse still, she may have not taken direct orders from Israel.

Don't get ahead of yourself.

I'm not saying she would've been great regarding Israeli policy, but Netanyahu wanted Trump for a reason. The Iran war and subsequent fuel price shock wouldn't have happened.

Bibi was hawking for a special military operation for the last 4 US presidencies, and only El Taco was dumb enough to agree.

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

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 67 points 5 days ago

He tried to enact a Muslim ban in his first term. These people are beyond stupid.

[–] nsrxn@mstdn.social 14 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Trump claimed not to know anything about project 2025

[–] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 50 points 5 days ago (5 children)

Trump claims a lot of things. Everything out of his mouth is a lie.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

If he breathes, he's lying.

Imagine being so fucking stupid you believe the words of fucking Trump of all people. That’s a level of stupid that should disqualify you from voting.

Oh the media asks you mocking questions!? Look what you helped do to the world, Lebanon included. With mocking questions you're getting off easy.

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.

This is incredibly disingenuous. The community in question didn't support Donald Trump, and overwhelmingly voted 3rd party because Kamala Harris supported Israel's genocide in Gaza.

Not only washing over that fact but blaming Trump's second term on them is fucking atrocious reporting.

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

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 14 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] youcantreadthis@quokk.au 17 points 5 days ago

Cannot have both aipac and democracy

"Helped propel Trump" is absolute copium. Only 40% of Arab Americans voted for Trump, not enough to overturn any swing state.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Hell looking at muslim voters as whole, only 21% voted for him. And also muslims make up about 2.5% of voters in US.

Tho not all Arab Americans are muslim so actual stats on that will be different.

[–] Gold_E_Lox@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 4 days ago

whites need someone to blame that isnt the dems
