Fair point.

At the same time: I have a whole fucking lot of schadenfreude towards the comically idiotic Arab-American voters - particularly the ones in Michigan - who voted for Trump, and are now wringing their hands because they finally did some apres-vote investigation into Trump. Dude banned foreign Muslims from entering the country last time. Did any of those dipshits genuinely think he was gonna mellow out this time around?

Edit: to be clear, I’m not talking about the Michigan Arab-Americans who didn’t vote for a presidential candidate. I’m talking SPECIFICALLY about the ones who voted for Trump.

They knew. But if they didn't withhold their votes then democrats know that they don't have to respect them as a bloc

And in the end, self-respect is more important than doing what Gazans want.

Shadenfreude isn't what I would say I feel towards them. Its not the same as when white people vote for trump because of the "economy"
