Trump announced on Tuesday the US could “take over” the Gaza Strip and transform it into a premier tourist destination, or the “Riviera of the Middle East” - but without Palestinians.
On social media, many debated the plan, with large swathes of people denouncing it as “ethnic cleansing”. Others immediately pointed out the US’s long history of “settler colonialism” and “imperialism”.
In the US, many liberal commentators, especially supporters of the Democratic Party, said Trump was acting precisely as they had warned ahead of presidential elections in November 2024. They blamed his Gaza takeover plan on Muslims for voting for him instead of Kamala Harris.
Voters in Michigan’s Dearborn, the largest majority Arab-American city in the United States, overwhelmingly supported Trump in a clear protest against the Biden administration’s handling of Israel’s war on Gaza.
In reality, Trump won every swing state in the US election, and had he lost Michigan, Harris still would not have come close to competing in the electoral college.
This comment section sure is spicy
Yep. This instance doesn’t put up with the blue maga bullshit. It’s refreshing.
Dems will blame everyone but themselves. The people crave progressive, uplifting politics. Dems continue a center-right march into nothingness.
The first people to blame are Trump voters. The percent of Trump voters who were whatever ethnicity, is pretty much the percent of that blame that they deserve. Fixating on Arab voters only - whether Trump, Harris, Stein, De la Cruz, whatever - is sick. Same principle goes for Dem voters - the second group to blame - who actively supported a genocidal candidate, at the expense of third party candidates who weren’t gearing up for mass murder, or throwing the election to a mass murderer, or whatever BS Harris was up to.
a center-right march
I think the technical term for that is goose-step
first democrats dgaf about a genocide and derided people voting their conscience about it, calling them single issue voters; now their loved ones have to endure the inevitable next stage of a human rights violating cycle of history repeating itself and the democrats are once again denigrating them for it.
i took to calling democrats, blue maga, as a way to single out the hard core adherence to the inhumane red vs blue team tribalism that typifies american politics, but they’re now literally espousing the same “fuck your feelings” mantra that exemplified trump’s maga; they’ve TRULY become blue maga in every sense of the words and i suspect they’ll be the ones in charge of the next election.
I think you’re missing the n in dngaf at the top of your comment?
They voted their conscience? So they wanted ethnic cleansing? That is what they voted for. There was never any doubt what Trump stood for, what he was going to do.
Can you honestly blame people for being frustrated that’s this super hardline approach is what we got when people claimed to want something else then voted against their interests?
Same with supporting the working class. With wanting to end corruption. All these things people claimed they cared about then turned around and voted in Trump. It’s maddening.
Go shove your blue maga bullshit. It is absolutely ridiculous.
You’re right. Fuck saying blue maga. You’re just a straight up nazi. You supported a genocide. And now that you’ve had power stripped from you BECAUSE YOU SUPPORTED A GENOCIDE you’re doing what nazis always do. Pretend anything inconvenient to them never existed. So now you turn around with characteristic smirking bad faith and say that people who didn’t vote for your modern day Hitler were voting for ethnic cleansing. I say we’re here because punching nazis wasn’t good enough. “super hardline approach” to voting against the person murdering their families. Holy shit fuck you. Fucking nazis.
You’re so close at seeing how propaganda can lead swathes of people like the workers to vote against their own interests without questioning why; but won’t take the next step to question if propaganda tells you our only “reasonable” choices were between a person actively enabling a genocide and another person who wanted to commit a genocide.
