Very understandable. But as bad as things are for Arabs here and abroad, they could always get worse. If Michigan is about to go red… things are going to get worse.
I have no way to influence how 3.8 million people or so feel, though I do share the sentiments and agree with the majority. Arab [and Muslim] American leaders did try to make their case heard in the White House but were dismissed multiple times. These dismal results are not due to a lack of trying by the community to bridge gaps with the Democratic Party.
Arab Americans remain one of the more progressive groups in their voting pattern. The real issue are the people voting for Trump.
My only arab friend has been heavily radicalized this year. Granted it has been a mixture of me shoving books at his face and him having to deal with the american reality but its been seriously bad. I hadn’t even seen him blink at politics before this.
I can’t blame them, I just hope Trump doesn’t win.
Their actions will ensure Trump will win. That’s the most annoying point that they haven’t fully understood.
Sorry I participated in the grizzley murder of your loved ones, but don’t forget to vote for me this November! You wouldn’t want us to blame you of the other guy wins!
Something poetic in the most popular #POTUS voting option for Arab Americans being a Jewish woman.
@PanArab I’m surprised it’s as high as 7%
