The point was sloppily made and incorrectly treats all Arabs as one voting bloc, but we ignore the right's effective use of lies and propaganda to our peril.

But why were they hoping he would bring the peace? He said during the campaign that he thought Gaza should be leveled.

My understanding was that it was a protest vote. The bloc felt that the Biden admin wasn't doing enough and therefore went with the devil they didn't know.

And he said a lot of things during the campaign.

The secretaries said a lot of things during their appointment hearings.

The SCJs said a lot of things during their appointment hearings.

what exactly is the point of posting this in a thread about the current admin attempting to deport a Palestinian student at Columbia with a green card? Unless you and the OP are trying to suggest that Khalil, the student, deserves his fate because of the voting choices of some Arab-Americans?

puckthepilot.bsky.social•10 hours ago

I didn't say Khalil voted for this. I pointed out that a very real bloc of Arab and Muslim voters helped decide the election.

And since uninformed voters enjoy lumping things into boxes, it's a pretty simple optic. Reality be damned.

There is a lot of FAFO going around. Lefty's are looking for it

I kept warning ppl about what tramp & Miller were doing during Reign 1: detaining green card holders; deporting military vets who were promised citizenship if they served; looking to strip birthright citizenship.

I have been planning just in case since 11/6 because I could see where it might go.

I support shaming people for voting for neo nazis… because they deserve to be shamed. But if you’re doing that and not waving every finger you have at white people then idk what the fuck the point is besides plain bigotry. They’re the biggest electoral group and continually fuck shit up.

The system was already in place for Trump to move this fast. Let's focus on the systematic nature of what is happening. And, the responsibility lies with all who remained silent about the occupation!!

There is something obscenely cruel about watching liberal pro-genocide Americans whip themselves up in an orgy of self righteous finger-pointing/blaming Palestinians for the US's own country's electoral destinies.

Israel/USA dual citizens living in Israel can and did vote, overwhelmingly supporting Trump.

Also, white women voted majority trump, why isn't there the same retort when a white woman says they're afraid of losing their rights? Because liberals can recognize their individual humanity.

Why are these liberals unable to do that for Arab Americans? Or for people who care about Palestinians?

acadianrunner.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Rhetorical question, obviously.

Racism and islamophobia is pretty ingrained for a large swath of Americans. Both parties.

disabilitystor1.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Racism and Islamophobia are not only ingrained, it is encouraged and accepted in way too much of the US in this moment, and yes, it is absolutely bipartisan.

dems are also racists more than they EVER want to admit.

Sad scared people punch down, to lay blame and escape shame. Their hate's frustrating. I marched all my life against American aggression, took action against warmongering-profiteering US policies, voted for the most liberal candidates possible including in 2024, still hated for being Arab-American.
