I hate to say I told you so, but 7 months ago people like me were saying:
I’ve been saying this. Netanyahu is going to keep the war going until after the election, hoping the bad press drains support from the democratic candidate. Netanyahu would rather see Trump in office anyway. If you’re still blaming the war going on in Gaza on the democrats, just wait until Trump gets in office and gives his support for the total and permanent occupation of Gaza. You’re behaving just as Netanyahu wants you to by not voting for the democrat in November
No, please keep the "we told you so"s coming. There are still people in the back defending their abstention / 3rd party vote / blaming the 'dems. They need to understand they are at least partially responsible for this.
You're not wrong about Netanyahu, but Biden and Harris both played into his hands with an appeasement strategy, and we should absolutely blame them for that.
We all did it! We showed those Democrats!!
And they'll definitely be different in 2028! And I don't just mean because we'll have already done unspeakable things in Gaza and the party won't care about that any more.
U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, who represents Dearborn and is the only Palestinian American serving in Congress, called Trump’s comments “fanatical bullsh—” and said “Palestinians aren’t going anywhere.” Dearborn’s Mayor Abdullah Hammoud said Trump’s comments were “yet another chapter in the ongoing genocide.”
Certainly doesn't seem muted to me.
“People are taking a deep breath. It’s too early to render a judgment."
"maybe it was a mistake to vote for President Trump,”
"some of Trump’s comments relating to the Middle East have been extremely, extremely concerning to the community.”
That's pretty muted if you ask me.
I mean you can find examples to prove any point you want, but you have to remember that there is a high chance that this all blows over once Trump realizes that he's asking for the impossible. People are choosing to stay hopeful and not immediately assume that their religious and ethnic compatriots will be ethnically cleansed.
Perhaps acting as if Arab Americans are a cohesive voting bloc rather than a sea of individuals making individual decisions is a mistake. Quoting Rashida Tlaib as if she's part of the problem is ridiculous.
The leopards have been eating well these last couple of weeks.
Call me a piece of crap Idc but this brings me joy it sucks for people who didn't want this to happen but makes me smile and want to lick the tears of those who voted for trump only to find out their families may possibly be effected
