You can’t humiliate someone that doesn’t have the capacity for humility. I think if he had even 10% humility of the average man, things wouldn’t be so bad.
Humility, empathy, shame. If Trump (and his Republican enablers) had any of these things, the world would be a much better place.
If they had any of those things, they wouldn’t be Republicans.
I take your meaning, but just because Donald doesn’t possess humility doesn’t mean he can’t be humiliated, especially in the eyes of others.
What are you talking about? He’s much more humble than you would understand.
(I love her expression after he drops that line without a hint of irony or self-reflection.)
Hassan may have been doomed from the very start, as MAGA supporters widely criticized his endorsement on the basis of his being Muslim. Hassan identifies as a Christian, claims to have “zero tolerance for extremists who pervert Islam into something evil,” and has touted his belief that “Israel is our strongest ally in the Middle East.” None of that seemed to matter Tuesday night.
LOL he lost because the GOP is so racist they thought he was a Muslim just because of his name.
What a glorious fucking dumpster fire.
It gets better. The candidate who won had dropped out to campaign for the candidate who came in 3rd place.
Literally zero useful polling done in this race. And they’re going into the general against a Dem incumbent during a blue wave year, so it hardly matters either way.
MAGA don’t actually pay attention, especially not to things that aren’t covered by the National Fox News broadcasts. It doesn’t matter that he only raised $1,800 for his run and did essentially no campaigning.
He won because “Thomas Smith” is a whiter name than “Amir Hassan” or “Al Lemmo”.
It’s because Fox News, CNN, and Twitter have all been overflowing with “Hasan said America deserved 9/11” talking points and CONSERVATIVES ARE ALL DUMB BOTS WHO HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ANY OF THE WORDS THEY HEAR MEAN
18 months ago: Arab American voters helped Trump win Michigan. What will his presidency bring?
Ali Alfarajalla, a Baghdad-born realtor in Dearborn, Michigan, normally votes for Democrats, but this election was a different story.
“If 50,000 Palestinians dead under the rubble isn’t enough to sway me from Democratic Party, I don’t know what is,” Afarajalla said.
Hard to argue with that quote.
It is if you ignore the fact the the other option was going to be way worse.
Is it?
Right, vote Republican instead, so the number can be 100,000 Palestinians and a couple hundreds of thousands of other innocents all over the world, too!
If you know nothing about the conflict in Palestine, then sure.
Even Trump is no match for Republican voters’ fear of a middle eastern looking guy with a muslimy sounding name.
All to end up with a Trump supporter anyway.
The primary voters weren’t even attempting to make an informed choice, they never researched any candidate, they just voted for the whitest name. So they do note care to even research if the candidates had good policy, just whatever allows them to hate more.
Why did Smith drop out early if he was facing such a weak field? Was there some personal scandal?
Copium headline. The demented rapist shed all humility and shame well before 2016.
Which just leaves us to pretend, I guess.
Implying this pedo ever had humility and shame.
Wouldn’t everything be so much better if we could just opt to vote for an empty seat in the first place?
I don’t want to not vote for anybody, I want to vote for nobody!
Awesome I forgot about that.
