It was a power pyramid scheme. They thought they'd profit from aligning with him. That's the betrayal the leaders are feeling.

Wonder what the whites, and Latinos that voted for Trump think about his cabinet picks? Guess we’ll never know…
Some, with faces made of leopard food, considered the slight possibility of maybe one day starting to consider regretting enthusiastic vote for their own faces to be served as main course at leopard dinner...
🎼 Don't it always seem to go...
That you don't know what you've got, til it's gone...
🎶 They paved Palestine to put up a parking lot.
If only there was a candidate that said this would happen. Where is the prince from Nigeria when you need some gullible people.
some Arab Americans who voted for Trump
I mean, I lack respect for anyone voting against their own interests. The rock you must be living under to vote for this dude with such mountains of bullshit behind him is immense. Maybe some leopard-face-eating will change things.
Remember how after 9/11 Republicans wanted every Arab and Muslim dead? Did these Arabs forget that?
Remember the fucking Muslim ban during Trump's first term? These people must have.
Voters in general have a memory of a goldfish. People vote on immediate concerns and issue. To be honest, if Democrats had a stronger backbone to stand up to Israel, this would not have happened.
Guys I got this pet face-eating-leopard and it keeps trying to eat my face. :(
Did they forget the Muslim travel ban he tried to do in his first term? It was one of the first things he did in office. He has already told you who he is multiple, multiple times.
Trump just got reelected. America forgot about Trump's first term...
It's absolute insanity...
America lives its life one quarter ~~mile~~ at a time... Nothing else matters: not the mortgage, not the store, not my team and all their bullshit. For those ~~ten seconds or less~~ three month, I’m free.
When you consider the drugs and toxins we consume, it isn’t that surprising. I feel like I blocked out a lot of memories from his first term, but I still had enough left to know it was a nightmare I didn’t want to repeat.
I don't wish any negative effects to all the people in Gaza and the West Bank. I do, however, wish that the people who voted for Trump have to experience the kind of pain that the people in Gaza and the West Bank will experience under Trump. All these fuckers are safe over here and won't have to endure the kind of torture that voting in Trump will bring.
They protest voted against Harris because she personally wasn't stopping a war she had no power to stop, with the only alternative being the guy who will accelerate that war. They deserve everything that comes to them while I laugh in their fucking faces (at the same time crying actual tears for the victims of their betrayal over in Gaza).
You were warned.
You refused to listen.
You refused to look at the evidence staring you in the face.
People kept saying, right up to the election, "don't vote for Harris because she supports genocide."
Those people got what they wanted and yet they're suddenly very unhappy about it. Interesting, isn't it?
They were living in their own alternate reality where they changed the system by doing nothing lol
My favorite ones were the ones who said to vote third party and when you asked them which candidate, they would say it didn't matter.
Because that's how elections are won.
Notice those people are silent right now.
They were bots. That's why they are silent now.
Not all of them, sadly. They've pivoted to "none of this has anything to do with me, all I did was tell people to absolutely not vote for Harris. She's the one who ran a terrible campaign. Also, Trump won't be all that bad."
German jews who voted for Hitler got concerned soon after the elections too. Many ethnic Germans too, but all they had to do was say "ich hab es nicht gewust" afterwards. The second World War has been so well documented. Yet many still haven't learned anything from history.
Don't care lol, he's doing what he said he would. Thanks for voting! Enjoy your prize!
Pretty much my attitude. A lot of us warned what would happen. Then they gave the US house , the senate, the office of the president, and by extension the Supreme Court and a number of federal judges to the republicans. Plus a number of state congressional seats to the republicans.
Reap what you sow.
“I just want you to think about what the alternative was,” said Abbas, referring to the current administration’s handling of Israel’s war in Gaza and its invasion of Lebanon. He added, “What did you expect from myself or many members of the community to do?”
I see Abbas is still in the denial stage.

"Think of what the alternative is" is exactly what we were saying.
People are stupid. And because of that, we'll suffer an incredible amount of harm that very easily could have been avoided.
They're always so eager to never once think critically and to always let themselves off the hook. I'm sorry, but on the brink of societal and ecological collapse, I equate those who refuse to think with those who actively destroy.
I'm already sick of this style of headline. Anyone else?
