Trump assassinated Solemani. That was the starting point.

We both agree on "genocide bad" so why do you make a difference if it's done by Biden or trump or Harris?

I think you hope for the destabilization of the USA and their downfall, which is totally legit as you seem to be from the Middle East. But don't veil your intentions by hiding behind bogus arguments, defending Trump as the better choice. He isn't, only for religious extremists who want to command the private lifes of others.... oh wait, that's basically extremist Muslims or Project 2024 Christians. Ahh.. now I understand! SORRY... you are 100% correct from your perspective.

I never defended Trump. In fact you will find that Trump is far less popular than Harris among Arab Americans and Muslim Americans. No Democratic presidential nominee in fact won a majority of white votes since LBJ, not even Clinton in 1992 and 1996. It is white people who mostly support Trump and Republicans. An insignificant minority of Arabs or Muslims not voting for Harris in Michigan or Pennsylvania won’t matter. I’m merely trying to communicate why genocide is a redline for many of us and the Democrats lost many of us. Again it is clear that the DNC isn’t alarmed by losing votes in an insignificant minority of Americans.

You are assuming too much about me too. I’m not Muslim or religious for example.
