You may want to give Republican policies a quick double check.


Can you give an example of such a policy?

(Not to doubt it, I just don't know as I'm on the other side of the world.)


Illegal immigration disregard, feeding stupid wars, ignoring petty crime.


Republicans started the war in Iraq and Afghanistan so that's not true.

And Republicans are against increasing the federal minimum wage so that's also not true.

Disinformation is what won this campaign.


Notably those wars were not started or escalated by Trump's republican party. While >Dick Cheney< got accepted by Dems now just because he is against Trump...


I see that we're already moving goalposts.

Trump has a responsibility in escalating the tension between Israel and Palestine following the move of the American embassy to Jerusalem.

He also escalated bombings in Syria.

His terrible Afghan deal also made it so that there was no time or guarantees to fly Americans and people that helped America to the US while also leaving a lot of American military gear to the Talibans. This also ridiculed the US on the international stage.


Considering it seems Arab American voters were willing to punish kamala or even outright vote trump on account of the current administrations stance on IvP since then, it seems they are willing to look past the embassy issue for a bigger issue - the current state of affairs.

Considering how the Obama administration handled Iraq and Afghanistan, I doubt they would have acted any differently wrt Syria.

Alas if I recall Trump managed to have ultimate responsibility for that fiasco occur under Biden's watch on account of losing the 2020 election. Whoops.

Yes, he was completely out negotiated by terrorists and his successor had to clean up the gigantic pile of poop that leaked from Trumps diaper.

Not much Biden could have done about this.
