    “President Trump, he continuously came and he was in the community. While I don’t believe that he’s going to enact policies that will benefit the community, he at least showed that he was willing to show up for the community,” Misner said.

    Not only will his policies not benefit the Arab-American communities in the US, they will end up actively harming them, as well as any chance of Palestinians even having a tiny slice of their own in the Middle East.

    Congrats, Misner, you played yourself.

      Did they forget about his travel ban for Muslims? Trump made it clear he hate their kind and is a racist. Why are they surprised? For fucks sake he told Israel that he hopes they finish the job and that gaza make great real estate for them. So they deserve what they get.

        It’s hard to feel bad for the people that Voted for Trump, and are now going to be hurt by him. All the information was there, and they refused to accept it in favor of an alternate , counterfactual reality.

      I have said time and time again that it’s not the voters fault, it’s the campaigns fault, but my gosh are people upsetting. I’d prefer someone not know my community exists than show up just to tout harmful policies. Like, how is stepping foot in a building just to burn it down showing you care about the people there? I’m so saddened by the whole situation.

      Here’s a clip of an undecided voter talking about their politics and it makes me feel completely helpless (it’s a crowd work clip, but it’s just depressing): https://youtu.be/KTlhX0BkzGY
