They make a great point. But nobody here read the article.

[-] Objection@lemmy.ml 17 points 13 hours ago

Glad to see they're sticking to their guns. Make sure the libs understand that we'll do it again if they don't give in to the demands.

How the fuck are the sticking to their guns? They literally changed their name so as to not signal support for the guy that they campaigned for.

Literally the opposite of "sticking to their guns"

???

Which guy did they campaign for?

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 13 points 13 hours ago

Go right ahead, not like there will be much to fight over after Trump turns Gaza into a Israeli resort town.

I'm rooting for you!

[-] Objection@lemmy.ml 7 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

The area was levelled under Biden. There would be zero restraint either way. The limiting factors are the groups actually fighting against the genocidal American Empire and its pet rabid dog.

You keep thinking that, good luck and enjoy watching what will unfold.

You people are truly sick.

[-] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 hours ago

You're the one enabling nazis bro. Wake the fuck up

[-] Objection@lemmy.ml 2 points 25 minutes ago

I least I'm not actively voting for them like y'all are.

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 14 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

You make choices, you live with the consequences. It's as simple as that.

You agree that Trump is the lesser of two evils then there's nothing to say at this point but you must live with the consequences of those actions.

That's life, that's reality, that's consequences.

[-] Objection@lemmy.ml 4 points 12 hours ago

What a nice little rationalization you have for not regarding them as human.

Has there ever been a people more arrogant than your kind? When you look through the past, you see all these cases of genocide, not one of them justified, and you think, "Ah, but they were all stupid. I'm so smart that when I support it, it's the only rational, objectively correct decision." It doesn't even give you a moment of pause. You don't even have the decency to speak about it with the gravity it deserves. You gleefully watch people die because it gives you the satisfaction of believing in your own rightness and superiority over the fools who actually give a damn. Meanwhile, you are so shortsighted and unimaginative that you think the laws imposed by our mortal rulers are as rigid and unchangable as natural law.

Honestly, the more I talk to people like you, the more I understand religious people. Much as I dislike religion, if it provides immunization against your way of thinking, perhaps it's worth it! Is there any way of thinking that's worse than yours?

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 11 points 12 hours ago

What a utterly stupid comment.

The fact that you have so little understanding that people can hold more than one opinion and rationale and seriously think that simple pointing out that Arab Americans that endorsed Trump must now live with the consequences and conflating that with that must mean holding that opinion means you're jumping for joy that Trump is advocating for the displacement of Palestinians from Gaza.

May you love in the interesting times your brought upon us all.

[-] Objection@lemmy.ml 5 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Not as stupid as treating the moral line against genocide as more flexible than the bounds of political acceptability our rulers have attempted to impose.

You people are dooming us more surely than anything else. Even if a democrat won every election, it would change nothing and we would still be right on track to fascism. It was your genius strategy of, "Accept literally anything, make no demands under any circumstances" that brought us into this situation in the first place. If you had shown any indication that you were capable of acting based on values or principles, the democrats would've known better than to think they could get away with this. Even now, you're trying to prevent them from receiving the message that they would need to hear in order to win next time.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 9 hours ago

How completely unexpected to see the libs firmly deciding that this is all the fault of brown people.

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

While they appreciate Trump’s commitment to rebuilding Gaza,

Fucking lol

They're just that stupid.

Well aren't you just the hypocritical ass.

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 61 points 17 hours ago

Everyone of these dumb fucks can just go shut the fuck up. They are one of the main reasons for the Trump victory. All of them knew Trump would be worse, but they were all too fucking stupid to just go with the least bad option. Kamala was not a good candidate, but she was better than Trump in every facet.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 7 points 11 hours ago

They were too insignificant to listen to. They're too insignificant to blame.

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 8 points 10 hours ago

Their rhetoric and decision to not vote for the only viable non Trump candidate is plenty reason to blame. They aren't as bad as people that directly voted for him, but they are the next worst thing and the difference between is borderline indiscernible.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Their rhetoric and decision to not vote for the only viable non Trump candidate is plenty reason to blame.

If democrats can blame them, they were fools to ignore them.

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

It's true but they still made the choice they made, and that's unforgivable. Fuck em, Trump lovers.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

Their rhetoric and decision to not vote for the only viable non Trump candidate is plenty reason to blame.

Centrists ignored them on the grounds that they could afford to lose them. You were wrong.

[-] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 hours ago

There is nothing centrist about acknowledging the fact that they fucked both themselves and everyone else.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

There is nothing centrist about acknowledging the fact that they fucked both themselves and everyone else.

Except blaming people you screamed at for a solid year.

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

They were and still are idiots. They knew what was at stake and made their decision. They decided to support fascism and Trump and defending that decision is the same the same thing.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

They were and still are idiots. They knew what was at stake and made their decision.

I know. And they lost votes because they wouldn't give up support for genocide. Naturally, since no centrist can ever admit when they're wrong, they blame the voters they hate.

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Paint it however you want. The people that were rightfully upset about Gaza made the choice to support Trump knowing it would be worse. Their actions directly supported putting him in power and hurting Gaza further. No amount of complaining about how bad Harris maybe would have been matters because the other factor was always known. When someone knows all of the facts and still makes the choice to support Trump, they're a Nazi sympathizer. So I say again, fuck em for supporting fascism.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 points 7 minutes ago

At least you showed them who's boss. Can you imagine the mere anarchy that would have ensued if democrats had listened?

[-] hark@lemmy.world 9 points 12 hours ago

The situation in Palestine is going to get worse under trump, but then things were also getting worse while under Biden too. There is no winning for Palestinians because the plan is for Israel to take over the entire area. Policy over partisanship, as AIPAC puts it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlKmWa8p4UM

[-] whytho@lemm.ee 15 points 14 hours ago

who ever thought trump would be better for palestinians is dumb asf. not saying harris would have done a good job since it seems no president will take their side.

[-] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 34 points 18 hours ago

They were complaining that Biden was doing nothing for the situation.

What did they think Trump was going to do for them?

[-] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 10 points 15 hours ago

Well, he was the "Muslim ban" president, so it couldn't have been good.

But that ship has sailed. We have a malicious, greedy oligarch in control of the USA now.

[-] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 14 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

People always start taking the status quo for granted eventually. On one hand, Trump might actually end the Palestinian genocide. Just, not in the way they want.

[-] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 9 points 15 hours ago

Yeah he'll get the genocide finished as quickly as possible.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 63 points 20 hours ago

Go fuck yourselves. Almost everyone tried to tell you this was going to end badly.

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 62 points 21 hours ago

God. Damn these people are so pants shittingly stupid.

They are going to be yelling about how no palestinian can be removed from their land even as they are being tossed onto a plane to El Salvador.

Stupid fuckers. All it's going to take is one u s soldier getting his boot scuffed, and they'll round them all up.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote on X: "Gaza MUST BE FREE from Hamas. As @POTUS shared today, the United States stands ready to lead and Make Gaza Beautiful Again. Our pursuit is one of lasting peace in the region for all people."

Ahmad, the spokesperson for the Abandon Harris campaign and a Palestinian activist, also said: "Despite the entire world being against them, Palestinians have proven that they will be victorious. They are returning to their homes and living among the rubble—people like that cannot be defeated. That is not a matter of opinion; it is a fact."

The level of cope is just so hard here.

I bet this face must be extra tasty for the leopards.
