Summary
Palestinians in the West Bank are largely pessimistic about Donald Trump’s re-election, viewing it as unlikely to significantly worsen their already dire situation, though some fear it could embolden Israeli actions.
Trump’s support for Israel’s far-right policies, including the potential dismantling of the UN agency Unrwa and backing of Israeli settlements, could deepen economic hardship and escalate violence against Palestinians.
While some Palestinians worry about increased oppression, others see a Trump presidency as a chance to expose brutal realities, possibly sparking stronger resistance.
What do you think is achievable at this point? America is going to turn into a fascist dictatorship and lots of voters did not give enough of a shit to stop it.
You want to tell me being angry at voters achieves nothing? Neither does blaming the DNC. American democracy is over.
What do you think the election of 2028 was going to look like after Kamala’s term?
How many "possibly the last ever election"s were the Democrats planning to win in a row? There didn’t seem to be any intention to back away from that precipice.
I don’t understand why you believe the DNC is deserving of some measure of protection from criticism.
I don’t understand why you think that’s what I believe. Criticize it all you want. It won’t change a thing. The DNC is a non-factor from now on because there will be no more actual elections.
I think I better explained my response in my other comment.
if you honestly believe that’s the future of the us, you should probably leave the country
you should probably have been planning to leave the country for the last three months, since the election never went more than 60% in harris’ favor
I am leaving the country.
I didn’t trust people like you to keep my queer daughter safe because I knew there was only one genocide that mattered to you when it came to voting.
I’m a dual citizen with the UK where the current government is going to ban conversion therapy, there’s socialized medicine and there is no one saying they’ll be a dictator.
And no, I don’t care what you have to say about how bad the UK is, they’re not going to march my daughter into a conversion camp. If I could take every queer person with me, I could. America is not safe for them anymore.
TERF Island isn’t much better. You’ll probably have to fight there, too. Once they’re done with fighting trans people, they’ll go back to fighting other LGBTQ people, it happens every time. But I get wanting to leave the US. I’ve been considering it, too. You got to do what’s best for your family.
I am really getting tired of telling people that the King’s Speech this year, which outlines government policy, specifically mentioned eliminated conversion therapy, and plenty of Tories are on board because the Church of England are also against conversion therapy.
I have studied where I’m going before making plans.
