21. It was a mix of people

I think the Right Wing funded a lot of it, but that some earnest people were duped too. And sure, there were a handful of actual Hamas supporters, but those seemed to be few and far between to me.

I am here in Michigan, this issue 100% flipped the state. In Dearborn and Hamtramack alone the number of voters who flipped from Biden in 2020 to Trump in 2024 easily flipped the entire state. Biden won those places by 85-90 points in 2020 and Harris lost them in 2024.

I still don't think people understand how powerful propaganda is, and how much more powerful it has become because of social media and now AI. They literally got hundreds of thousands of Muslims to vote for the Muslim ban guy.

Now you are just being silly. Beastly Boy Feb 2025 #14

Heehee. You're the one who said you had the facts. brush Feb 2025 #16

I did. I also said that the facts have nothing to do with how their minds work. Beastly Boy Feb 2025 #17

Pretty sure Hamas did that trying to sub a random body for Shiri Bibas Arazi Feb 2025 #33

Maybe believe the forensic scientists? Arazi Feb 2025 #42

Hamas wants it off. Netanyahu wants it off. I believe you, it's off. brush Feb 2025 #43

Probably Arazi Feb 2025 #45

They voted for Trump. Trump won. I am the victim of their vote. They are the perpetrators. I am not blaming myself. Beastly Boy Feb 2025 #37

Easy to do when you don't think of them as victims and never did. AloeVera Feb 2025 #56

It is rather unusual to think of perpetrators as victims. Most people can't get themselves to engage in such folly. Beastly Boy Feb 2025 #57
