Sure, the decisions are made, the policies enacted, by those at the top — but there is no widespread repudiation of their actions by the citizenry at large, either.

Seriously? They organized rallies, they created groups and protests expressly with the purpose of withholding their vote from the Democrats and going so far as to pledge support for Trump! Ever heard of the group ‘Arab Americans for Trump’? Or the “Abandon Harris” campaign? Wake up. These groups influenced many people, either to vote red or to not vote at all, on the premise that there were no lesser evils and no point in voting at all. This was exploited to maximum effect by interests seeking the exact outcome that resulted.

Did their voting red improve anything for Palestinians in Gaza?? They continue to look dumber than a box of rocks. Nothing sudden there.
