No, but in 2020 I didn't vote for Trump. Why did I get a genocide?

[-] Dkarma@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Are you not familiar with the United States since forever.

How do you feel about trump making Jerusalem the capital? Trump will wipe Arabs off the map and complete Israeli takeover of the lands.

Trump started the genocide with that move. Get a clue.

If anyone needs additional confirmation of what trump wants.

“As president, I would end once and for all the mass importation of antisemitism into the United States,” he said. “Just as I did before, we will keep radical Islamic terrorists the hell out of our country. We were keeping them out.”

“On day one, we’ll restore our travel ban. We had a travel ban because we didn’t want people coming into our country who really loved the idea of blowing our country up,” he said. He called the ban an “amazing success.”

“We didn’t have one incident in four years, because we kept bad people out of our country,” he claimed.

“I’ll also be implementing strong ideological screenings for all immigrants coming in,” he said. “If you hate America, if you want to abolish Israel, if you sympathize with jihadists, then we don’t want you in our country and you’re not going to be getting into our country.”

Trump also said he would cancel student visas of Hamas sympathizers.

“The college campuses are being taken over, and all of the resident aliens who joined in the pro-jihadist protests this month, nobody’s seen anything like it,” he said. “Come 2025, we will find you, and we will deport you.”

You realize that this doesn't affect citizens, which Muslim Americans are and most Arab Americans are either Christian or not very religious. Otherwise the same kind of abuse will continue as under Biden and since 9/11/2001 and no one will notice or care.

Plus what Trump is suggesting is more harmful to the US than to Arab or Muslim Americans, the US missing out on "Hamas sympathizing students" i.e. most of the world, means that US universities are missing out on revenue. US universities are already struggling because of the decline in number of foreign students.

Can you explain what you mean by your first statement? It seems like you're arguing that citizens won't be affected, then you linked a post by an Arab American citizen who is saying how general sentiment towards Arab Americans has affected their life. It stands to reason that electing trump will only further deteriorate the general sentiment towards Arab Americans, affecting us citizens.

Thank goodness Trump made things easier for Arab Americans whe he was president! What, it was the same thing when he was president? Shocking!

[-] PanArab@lemm.ee -1 points 3 months ago

Things remained the same for the past 23 years

[-] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago

Exactly. The presidential election isn't where problems like that will be solved. You're looking at the wrong venue to air your legitimate grievances, at the risk of personal harm to yourself and people like you. You should absolutely try to address that, but it will not be easy and it won't start at the presidency.
