Some Dearborn Arab Americans are reassessing their support of Trump

[DFW]

33. Reassess away.

They voted for him, and were not feeble-minded, demented, or forced at gunpoint. I am not the one they should come whining to if they lose jobs, health care, or the ability of their businesses to keep their heads above water. They consciously helped deliver this disaster upon us, and I can only hope that each and every one of them suffers the consequences in full. The amount of sympathy I have for them is equal to the amount of sympathy they had for us and the rest of the nation at the voting booth last November.

If all Arab-American communities, especially the ones in and around Detroit, suddenly deliver majority votes for Democratic candidates next November, maybe I'll be the one "reassessing" my sentiments. The occasional "oops" a year before the midterms does not cut it for me. "Oops" will not remove Noem's thugs from our cities, or looney toons types like Bobby Kennedy Jr.. Pete Hegseth, Kristi Noem, Tulsi Gabbard or Pam Bondi from their positions of excessive power, and they will not remove any of Mister Scratch's* six judges from the Supreme Court, either.

*I meant, of course, the Mister Scratch of "The Devil and Daniel Webster."

Mr. Scratch: You shall have your trial, Mr. Webster. But I'm sure you'll agree, this is hardly the case for an ordinary jury.
Daniel Webster: Let it be the quick or the dead, so long as it is an American judge and an American jury!
Mr. Scratch: 'The quick or the dead!' You have said it.
[he stomps on the barn floor; a door opens]
Mr. Scratch: You must pardon the leathery toughness of one or two.
Jabez Stone: [afraid] Mr. Webster!
[a line of ghosts begin entering from the trapdoor]
Mr. Scratch: Captain Kidd - he killed men for gold. Simon Girty, the renegade - he burned men for gold. Governor Dale - he broke men on the wheel. Asa, the Black Monk - he choked them to death. Floyd Ireson and Stede Bonnet, the fiendish butchers. Walter Butler, King of the Massacre. Big and Little Harp, robbers and murderers. Teach, the Cutthroat. Morton, the vicious lawyer... and General Benedict Arnold. You remember him, no doubt.
Daniel Webster: A jury of the damned...
Mr. Scratch: [laughs] Dastards, liars, traitors, knaves. Your suggestion, Mr. Webster - 'the quick or the dead.'
Daniel Webster: This is outrageous, I asked for a fair trial...
Mr. Scratch: Americans, all.
