They should've voted for democrats, who also love genocide. Seriously, the only "leopards ate my face" I see are democrats insisting on supporting genocide and then predictably losing support from voters. These voters were just desperate for any possibility of change, no matter how slim. This is understandable when the change they were hoping for was to not have a president that supported genocide. This doesn't deserve mockery, no matter how misguided.

reminder:
this election was lost on multiple fronts.
do not let articles like this, however truthful, and the inevitable spiteful comments underneath convince you that the next four years were caused by Arab-Americans.
fine, fine, yes, it is multifactorial. Unity in opposing trump's ghouls is the most important, not infighting over losing.
thanks, and not trying to be combative here :) i just know how discourse molds and progresses and it’s just a few short steps from the comments and name calling i’m seeing here to “pro-Palestine caused trump”
when in reality biden/harris actively ignored the petitioning of multiple vital demographics including latino, young, and low-income voters—all of which played out very poorly. it speaks volumes that i haven’t seen a single post about these demographics yet and multiple about Arab-Americans.
just be careful yall! your neighbors need you
I lived in Detroit for a brief period and my observation was that the Arab population in Dearborn was comprised mainly of people born into multi-generational wealth. I know that's anecdotal but if my observations were accurate then we're talking about wealthy people who are disconnected from real life struggles who are voting for Trump. Not about immigrants who have seen and experienced hardships.
20-20 hindsight is better than nothing I guess, unless you get it when you're looking up at the rapidly receding cliff.
Americans have taken WAY too long to figure out Trump is a con man playing them. Very special insight.
"All she had to do was stop the war in Lebanon and Gaza and she would receive everyone's votes here," Dearborn's Democratic mayor, Abdullah Hammoud, told the Associated Press.
Spot the mayor who has no idea what the job of Vice President actually is...
Depending on what they mean by "stop the war" in gaza, if they mean the current hostilities (which, yeah it's what she probably meant) or end the conflict in its entirety, that could be the biggest God damn ask I've ever heard.
Particularly since the US is not one of the parties at war.

Nope. Uh uh. No sympathy from me. My give a damn is broken.
You had SO many red flags
You know the Sara Mclaughlin commercials with all the sad, sick, and starving puppies? Do you think there's a similar market for engorged, morbidly obese leopards?
