    It’s a good thing that Trump is going to win both the popular & EC votes far beyond the Muslim-/Palestinian-/Arab-Americans’ numbers, because that makes placing blame on them ring hollow.

    If the Dems can’t beat a clown like Trump, that’s squarely on them. But they spent the last eight years blaming their losses on anyone but themselves, so I wouldn’t assume they’ll start looking in the mirror now.

      don’t expect it: they’ve been doing stupid shit like this since 1984 (at the least) when they could have used the thousands of deaths at reagan’s hands against him; but decided not to go too “political” with that human sleeping pill named mondale and the apologist named ferraro and then again in 2004 with the human ent named kerry.

      It’s a shame blame can’t be laid at their feet because it affirms the belief that you can throw them under the bus without consequence.

      I wish my refusing to vote for the genocide perpetrators and deniers swung the election. It’s why I did it.

        It’s a good thing for their own sake, because otherwise liberals would slit their throats, or rather would happily allow their throats to be slit or to be deported or what-have-you.
