It's a good bet tbf
It’s the ultimate American paradox, a country that gets itself so bent out of shape about worshipping and venerating its history, supremely concerned about what the Founding Fathers and marquee leaders of its past would think about what they’re doing, while also retaining zero ability to retain and process any actual history.
That's because the "history" they venerate is just a disguised national myth.
Isn't this just a mirror of American Christianity? They don't call all the flag-fucking a civil religion for nothing!
Like forgetting the original purpose of the confederate statues they defend. But I think it's more they know what they're doing and feigning ignorance so you're the one not being civil when you call them out.
maybe they actually would forget about the civil war without the monuments
I still haven't forgot about my $600.
WHERE THE FUCK IS MY MONEY JOE 
Now that Joe restarted student loans it's literally being siphoned from me. 
only ever gave me money!
yes just like how the americans forgot a small terrorist incident in 2001 that only killed a minuscule fraction of the people dying in gaza right now
just like that
Americans only remember nine eleven because of the damage to private property. We didn't give a fuck about the pentagon on 9/11, we dont even talk of the people on that plane who died. We don't give a shit about all the hundreds of kids murdered in mass shootings, or simply run over by gigantic passenger vehicles. We didn't give a fuck when like five hundred people were shot in Vegas. We didn't give a shit about a 9/11 worth of people that died every single day for a while there during covid. But oh boy those two big shining towers of private property fall down and we're ready two start two wars and kill like three million people.
Covid
I would regularly see the number of people dying of covid per day and calculate how many days it took for a 9/11 of people to be killed.
You're missing something crucial though: 
According to Israel's stupid "9/11s as a fraction of total population" we're at 363 9/11s inflicted on Gaza at this point.
121 9/11's of just children.

That's okay. I won't remember to vote so it balances out.
Any lesser-evil libs want to tell me how it's more my fault than the DNC?
It's fucking genocide
You see, Arab voters lack what we call "object permanence". If they can't see something happening, they think that it never happened and will never happen ag- I've just been informed by my my aides that I am in fact thinking about babies.
Honestly 10% sounds low
projection as always from liberals
To be fair, there is another "October Surprise" between now and then.
HOLY SHIT
Muslim voters think their votes matter and that the democrats care about courting them.
They are mistaken.
~~Muslim~~ voters think their votes matter and that the democrats care about courting them.
They are mistaken.
I mean, generally, most Americans are morons.
Long on anger, and very quick to forget why they were even pissed to begin with. As someoen else said, its a good bet. Just remind them They need to 
and all will be forgotten.
Liberals and conservatives gave pointless symbolic support to black and Asian Americans, so it makes sense why they would continue voting for the parties even if it's reluctantly. But both liberals and conservatives routinely team up to call for the genocide of Muslims and Arabs for like 20 years now. I don't know what it looks like statistically, but anecdotally the Muslims I know are like 18-23 and all of them hate the US lol
Liberal electoral brilliance.
Piss off anybody who is against genociding brown people while running against Republicans. Now your base is people who don't mind genociding brown people who aren't already voting for the "genocide brown people" party.
Hard to think of a better way to cut yourself off at the knees.
Liberals hoping to beat Republicans without anybody who cares about genocide, labor rights, the environment, young people or lgbtq rights.

That is the DNC's dream. To never have to ptetend to care about any of that anymore. I don't think they care about winning too much. Maybe just the presidency and nothing else, wouod feel ideal for them
I think they only really want to do insider trading. Their dream would be something like Irish politics where both major parties are exactly the same but corruptly work for different companies and do pork barrel politics to gain votes. This is frustrated by the fact that many republicans actually believe in things (terrible and wrong things) but actual political goals nonetheless
The liberal assumption is that what works for 
Burgerlanders works for pretty much everyone else: the next promised treat or suggested threat to the treats will make previous concerns disappear.

it’s so obvious from the outside that the Biden campaign is a sinking ship, but instead of grabbing a bucket and helping bail the water they take on, everyone around him either believes the water will go away, or that it doesn’t matter because Trump’s ship is sinking faster.
you’d think top Dems would have to be comatose to not recognise that they’re making mistake after mistake. and yet, this is completely in character for them. anyone in the party who learned something from the past 8 years has been actively suppressed.
2024 is going to be a shitshow.
head in the sand management. Biden has reminded Trump voters why they liked Trump in the first place and democrat voters why they're dissatisfied
assuming that israel will have stopped by then is optimistic
Honestly? They might not forget, but they won’t go vote for Trump either (unless they’re very pro-conservative and wanna ban immigration from possibly their own countries?)
They’re in a rock and a hard place and they might just choose to stay there/not vote for anyone.
they might just choose to stay there/not vote for anyone.
A Muslim group has organized to withhold votes - especially in swing districts from Biden/dems in '24 unless they change their stance on Gaza
not vote for anyone
I'll vote for Trump at least twice more just for this
How dare you, you should be voting for Hillary
Ive been voting for Hillary in every election since 2016 as a write in candidate.
If americans can forget about (at least) a million plague deaths (from a virus that's still spreading) they can forget about anything
