(101 posts)Muslims who decided to vote for Trump, I could understood them being angry enough to become delusional that Trump would be a better option than Biden. Especially if they were of Palestinian origin and had family members who were in immediate danger in Palestine or were recently killed in Palestine. I recognized they were in such an emotional state of distress they probably could not be counted on. So my hope was that the rest of us Democrats and Independents who were not directly tied to that conflict would compensate by stepping up our game and participating in larger numbers on Election Day. We failed to do so.
Its beyond insufferable to see how liberals and progressives on this site and progressive commentators like Stephanie Miller and Hal Sparks lack such compassion when they keep spitefully tossing that Genocide Joe talk back in the faces of those who didnt vote for Biden. Have some darn compassion. Many of those that made their error of voting for Trump or not voting at all did so out of grief over losing family members. Those who couldnt relate to that should have just shut up, because those particular people certainly were not as vocal when they cosplayed being liberals while Israel kept up its deadly onslaught of children via American tax dollars. It is telling that many have more sympathy for white American voters who keep voting against their best interests by picking Trump, than they do for Arabic/Muslim Americans who just got caught up in the emotional baggage that resulted from the onslaught of their own family.
