And that's why I can't understand how these people could be so naive. Or stupid.

I hate to put an ethnic group into a box and judge, but it seems Arab Americans, for the most part, don't understand democracy. It's foreign to them, so when they start to feel liberty like they've never felt it before, they become demanding, thinking their voices deserve to be heard, and responded to immediately. I've seen this in other Palestinian protests. They seem to have little understanding of, or patience for, negotiation.

They were told that voting for Stein or Trump would only lead to the continued destruction of Gaza, that it would get worse, and that in vengeful retribution, Trump will denaturalize as many people in Dearborn as he can, and send them back to where they came from.
