Long, tough but worthwhile Slate story re: Arab American vote in Michigan

[thucythucy]

1. "If it came down to Trump and Joe Biden, I will vote for Trump. Because it doesn't get worse than Joe Biden."

Wanna bet?

Then too: "the biggest genocide in modern history...."

So what would he consider to be modern?

How about the massacre of Tamils in Sri Lanka?

Or of the Boko Haram in Nigeria?

Or of Uyghurs in China?

Or the Saudi imposed famine and bombings in Yemen?

Or the horrors in Sudan?

Going back a few decades, how about of Muslims in Bosnia?

Or the massacre of the Tutsi in Rwanda?

I understand the emotional involvement and reaction of people seeing their own ancestral community being devastated by war and all its attendant atrocity. But to support Trump over Biden by any American Muslim seems to me to be the epitome of cutting off your nose to spite your face. And then cutting off your ears. And then putting out your eyes...

I come back to "it doesn't get worse than Joe Biden."

I'm sure there were lots of Germans who said the same about Fritz von Papen.
