Racism is not “losing meaning.”
My answer for why Arab-Americans are abandoning Harris is because they don’t want to vote for genocide of their friends, family, and people of a similar background, and cannot support the Democrats because of this.
Your answer is that it’s because they are stupid, which directly means that you believe the majority of Arab-Americans are uniquely stupid, ergo this is a racist statement.
My answer for why Arab-Americans are abandoning Harris is because they don’t want to vote for genocide of their friends, family, and people of a similar background, and cannot support the Democrats because of this.
And doing this which could assist a Trump win is very, very stupid.
That is, unless they believe Trump will improve things abroad and at home? But that’s another kind of stupid. (<—- White christians believe this and they are stupid for it)
So you are commiting to racism, then, believing Arab-Americans to be uniquely stupid and yourself more enlightened than people directly and indirectly impacted by genocide you support.
Not racist. Not uniquely stupid. And not BECAUSE they’re Arab.
Anyone who acts knowingly to assist another Trump presidency is a fucking moron. White, black, Asian, Arab, Hispanic, etc. don’t give a shit.
To be frank, this sounds like an excellent tactic to silence criticism of acts that would support another Trump presidency. It’s even posed as coming from the left which is genius.
I’m coming away from this thinking you actually want him elected.
