Trump Calls For 'Total And Complete Shutdown Of Muslims Entering' U.S.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_13769

Executive Order 13769, titled Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States, labeled the "Muslim ban" by Donald Trump and his supporters and critics alike, and commonly known as such, or commonly referred to as the Muslim travel ban, Trump travel ban, the Trump Muslim travel ban, or the Trump Muslim Immigration Ban, was an executive order by President Trump. Except for the extent to which it was blocked by various courts, it was in effect from January 27, 2017, until March 6, 2017, when it was superseded by Executive Order 13780, a second order sharing the title "Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States".

Trump Releases Mideast Peace Plan That Strongly Favors Israel

Trump says immigrants are ‘poisoning the blood of our country.’

None of that was doing it for you guys, huh?

It's almost always a bad idea to do something in anger. That goes for voting, as well.

Haha! Get fucked.

Can't wait until they and their families start being threatened with deportation and put on watchlists.

That'll show the Democrats.

Anyone who voted for Trump gets zero empathy from me.

If they already know leopards ate their face and have the courage to recognize they fucked up this early on, they are your potential allies, don't alienate them.

They are an ideological group generally aligned to the GOP but are with the Dems because the GOPs eschatology supports the other team. However, fundie Christians and Muslims alike want to have moral authority and control over people.

They’re not a voting block that’s with us for any reason except we know the least about fundamentalism and seem to have less of a boner for religious Zionism.

Crazy that ex-Muslims tend to flock to the right because the left has its head up its ass and racialises Islam as hard of not harder than the right wing. Racializing Islam is actually part and parcel of modern political Islam as well, and any “liberal” or “leftist” pushing that narrative is a useful idiot.

I would if Trump had lied to them and said he would stop Israel.

They knew exactly who and what they were voting for. They lied to themselves and those around them.

ZERO EMPATHY FOR EVERYONE WHO HELPED TRUMP WIN.

I will enjoy every moment the leopards eat faces. I don't need or want allies who are this blinded or selfish when it matters the most.

Too little, too late.

I don't know. They haven't just fucked themselves; they fucked a bunch of Palestinians in Palestine who didn't get to vote. They fucked every US woman. They fucked every LGBTQ person. They fucked Ukraine. I'm having a hard time feeling sympathy or common ground. It was clear to anyone paying any attention Trump was pro-genocide.

TBF, this isn't all in their shoulders. Kamala lost the popular vote by 2 million votes. America fucked itself. But these folks contributed, and you know what? I don't need them as allies, because they can keep fucking themselves like this until there are no more left that are stupid enough to make these mistakes again.

All those blue collar fucks who are losing their Christmas bonuses to tarrifs, whose unions will be castrated until they're living in company towns again? Good. Don't need them, either. They're doing it to themselves, despite our best efforts. In tired of fighting for them just to have them fight back. Let them rot in their own filth. At this point, the only reason I care is because of the innocents who are getting fucked with them for their shit-brain decisions.

But there are easy solutions for these problems now getting to the point where shit will hit the fan uninterruptedly and overwhelmingly: blame the Democrats.

There. Problems solved :D

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

You, Sir, are doing it right

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Votes are over. They picked Trump. There's nothing to alienate.

[–] Gsus4@mander.xyz -4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Well, you can always use more support, especially as things turn as dark as we expect.

[–] beebarfbadger@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Remind me again who made the decision to go down this path as a country? I have 76 394 853 suggestions.

You guys need Antifa. And lots of it. There is nothing better to stop a Nazi Mob than a Nazi Hunting Mob.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago

"No way to prevent this," says ~~only nation in the world where this regularly happens~~ people who voted for exactly this

[–] ef9357@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 day ago

Good.

To be fair, they probably would have been upset by Harris's pro-israel cabinet picks too.
