They chose to put their faith in a man who has spent 9 years lying to everyone about everything, and who has very publicly been Netanyahu's cheerleader.
He was only able to 'play' them because they chose to be easy marks.
How did they not realize this would happen? It was OBVIOUS to everyone else that Trump would give Bibi a free pass to do anything. Did everyone forget the Muslim ban in the early days of his 1st time in office?
Muslim that supported Trump are in the same league as those killing Palestinians right now.
Not sure those name in the article are on social media, if they do they should be named and shamed.
To say they are disappointed.. BS they should have known better
You don’t decide to “sit this one out” when one of the candidates is the MAGA asshat who gave the country’s first Muslim ban a thumbs up. History repeats itself.
"Bill Bazzi, mayor of neighboring Dearborn Heights, who endorsed Trump, said he met the president-elect three times and still believed he would work to end the war, despite the cabinet appointments.” WTAF.
Being played suggests ignorance of the broader situation and options. They had thousands telling them what they were doing was shortsighted and perilous. But to prove a point the entire country (and likely the world) now has to suffer. It's not even 2 weeks since the election ffs.
In order to have been played, Trump would have had to have promised them something. Instead of using "Palestinian" as a slur, saying he'd deport all protesters, and that he wanted Netanyahu to "finish the job." In this one rare case, Trump didn't lie. This is on them.
They picked up on how much he hates Jews, and then they just got so excited that they became totally oblivious to the fact that he hates Arabs and Muslims MORE.
Way more. Like Whoa!
Your community wasn't played.
Your community was just stupid and self-defeating.
There was an obvious choice, with obvious outcomes, and your community just blindly chose the wrong option in spite of how painfully obvious it as that it was the wrong option. So suck it up. You asked for this.
Nice protest vote chucklefucks. Now the whole country has to pay for your temper tantrum. I gotta say if Trump deports them I won’t feel sorry for them. Not even a little.
Me neither. The people who have the most to lose voted for the man who promised to do it to them. Don't cry to me if he manages to keep those promises, just because you couldn't bring yourself to vote for a woman
I want to have compassion for these people, because their plight is very real and serious. But the guy told 30,000 documented lies in 4 short years. Wanting to believe him shouldn’t have overridden the lies & the previous clear racism of his Muslim ban.
Played? You bit off your nose to spite your face. In the process you helped to fuck over your country (and “genocide Joe”🙄)and the very people you claimed to care about.
Your weren’t played. You were a fool. Big difference
I’m sorry… played?!? No. Ya’ll just were being blind and stupid if you voted for him. How is it those who voted for Harris knew exactly what he was, but those who voted for him were “played”?.
No. Not buying it.
TFG told them plainly what his intentions were, he and BiBi worked it all out at Mara Lardo, well before these people voted. If I knew the plan, they knew the plan. FAFO
This really, truly breaks my heart. Yes, we all knew this would happen. But I absolutely understand the Muslim dilemma. What Israel is doing is inhuman, indefensible and abhorrent. I say this as a Jew (by choice). And with all that has happened in OUR history, WE SHOULD KNOW BETTER!
I will never, never understand why the Muslim community voted for tRump so widely.
Were they tuned on the same largely widespread info displayed before and during the campaign?
The level of self deception and self delusion they had to engage in to get themselves to this point is really something. Every sane person warned them, but they were determined to cut off their own noses to spite their faces.
I’m trying to find the part where Trump has ever said anything even remotely in the Palestinians’ best interest such that you could ever have “been played.” I mean, wtaf??
I had a nagging suspicion all along that this is what some activists on the left wanted, - a target they could use for the next four years - no matter the cost to the rest of us.
"Hassan Abdel Salam, former professor at the University of MN, Twin Cities& co-founder of the *Abandon Harris campaign, which endorsed Green Party candidate Jill Stein, said rump's staffing plans were not surprising, but had proven even more extreme that he feared."
Is there a theory about groups that vote certain ways to secure their rights and then once they get them they snap back? Thinking of that one article about the party full of rich gay men celebrating Obergfell and someone lamenting to the reporter "in 4 years they'll all be voting Republican"
I don't believe them. Anyone engaged enough to LEAD a group like these damn well knew better. These spokespeople didn't GET played - they were the players, and traitors to the people they claim to represent.
Have they been living in a cave for the last 8 years? They didn't think that prior actions would signal future actions?
That was just stone cold stupid.
If by "our community got played" they mean "we're stupid MFers" then yeah. 💩🤡 has never pretended to give a shit about Palestine or Muslims in general. Enjoy the results of your protest votes
Then you must be too dumb, racist, and sexist to be responsive to reality. What person seeing the FIRST administration and their MUSLIM BAN could possibly have thought that evil racist con man would be BETTER than Kamala Harris, who had NO MUSLIM BAN?
Respectfully they were not played. Evidence of Trump depravity was on display & people refused to look. It was provided in so many ways but they refused to listen. They were rage voting & didn’t want to reward Harris for Biden’s policies which then screwed Palestinians over. It will get worse.
So annoying. I was banging my head against the wall trying to explain why Trump would be worse. They all said Trump and Biden were the same and refused to hear otherwise so STFU you got what you voted for or didn’t vote for. I don’t want to hear your regrets.
Don't forget...many Latinos voted for trump,too. He will now round up their family members/people and mass deport them.
Yes, there was a lot of kool-aid drinking by those two groups. Smh.
You’re not being played if you willfully ignore what the GOP and Trump in particular are telling you over and over and over again. I defy them to point to one thing the Republicans have done or said that wasn’t full throated support Netanyahu’s genocide of Palestinians
And now you’ve screwed us all
You don’t get “played” if you do your research. Nobody forced your vote, you gave it willingly, stop trying to act like you didn’t know who you were voting for.
Let’s see. The Muslim ban didn’t give them a clue ? How about the movement of the capital to Jerusalem? He’s never committed to a two state solution. I am a Christian and I didn’t trust him on this. In fact he was silent. Which means what he and Bibi were going to level Gaza and WB
You know where the administration is going to go? They’re going to march you to a concentration camp and then deport you. But all you had to do was pay attention to the headlines and now you Found Out.
The incoming SecState (Rubio) says he won’t support a ceasefire. The incoming ambassador to Israel (Huckabee) says he doesn’t even recognize the Palestinians. And Trump has told Netanyahu to level Gaza.
But hey, you got to stick it to “Genocide Joe” for a day.

Hey, you were warned
Wolf experts: “He lies about most things but not about this”
Sheep: [vote for wolf]
Wolf: [starts eating sheep]
Sheep: “We got played”
Enjoy the consequences
I would have thought that the Mass Deportations signs would have caused people, especially POC, to pay closer attention.
Way more. Like Whoa!

What did they expect?
It's not like we didn't warn you but you had to get your hate on.
Your weren’t played. You were a fool. Big difference
No. Not buying it.

Now, we all suffer.

I have 0 sympathy for these people.
*"regrets, I've made a few.."🙄👍
"The finest in New York, Ma'am."
That was just stone cold stupid.

Stupidly and foolishly vote for fascists? Zero sympathy
Yes, there was a lot of kool-aid drinking by those two groups. Smh.
were that damn dumb to believe trump
And now you’ve screwed us all
Most people, even those at high risk, are just incredibly misinformed- or should we say disinformed.
But hey, you got to stick it to “Genocide Joe” for a day.
Great job, you colossal dumbfucks.
