    if only anyone had been announcing for months what Trump was doing. i know this comes across as “i told you so” but the people who told you so demonstrated more understanding of what was going on than these dipshits. now would be basically their last chance to start listening

      Narrator: They did not start listening.

        Yeah, some of the ones in here are doubling down on the Gaza thing…this is probably textbook blowback phenomenon (people that are confronted with how they are wrong will double down on that position, only more so).

          How do we combat this? I genuinely want to know because I know about the phenomenon, but it’s like… We tried nice. Now it’s too late for nice, polite methods to work. November 5th was nicely politely dealing with the fascists and the moral purists day. But now what do we do?

    But the organization also kept up its attacks on Biden and Harris, saying in the release, “We refuse to equate Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric with the Biden-Harris administration’s concrete actions—actions that spanned 15 months of material, verbal, monetary, and political support for Israel’s genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza.”

    Some serious copium right there. JFC.

    Hilariously, the group “Arab Americans for Trump” just changed their name to “Arab Americans for Peace.” Nice try. You own this […]

    🤦‍♂️ Learn nothing, and then try to cover it up. Sweet feathery jesus.

      The scary things is that that’s hardly an exaggeration at all. People say shit like that in all seriousness, without an ounce of self-awareness.

      “But he brought two palestinians on stage with him! I was sure he was the right choice to stop all the violence across the world!”

    While I do understand the schadenfreude of all of this, you know what the Democrat still fucking suck and have learned nothing too.

    I mean while I think that all of these groups get what the voted or didn’t vote for but at the same time they had very valid points that the Democrats still refuse to respond to. And quite honestly their efforts at being a opposition party is a disgrace and I don’t think their giving anyone the feeling that they have Americans backs here against these fascists.
