Samir said most college-educated Afghans he knows, and those who worked in the country’s former government, don’t like Joe Biden because of how he handled the withdrawal of US troops in 2021. “They left us and our lives in danger,” he said.

WTF
Trump was the one that signed the agreement that led to the withdrawal, and that led to it being done in such a rushed and fucked-up fashion. He actually bragged about Biden being unable to legally stop the pull-out (not that that means it’s true, but in this case there was a lot of truth to what Trump was saying). It was always going to be a shit show, but Trump’s agreements before he left office led to it being more of a disaster than it needed to be.
Are these Afghans who live in the United States Muslim? Or Arab? If so, they might have a real hard time under Trump’s second term. Are they citizens, or just residents? I mean, I can fully agree with “yo the US military fucked us” as their complaint, but “and that’s why we want a second Trump term” as a solution is like punching yourself in the dick because your pants don’t fit the way you want them to. It’s not directly related, it’s unlikely to help, and it’s likely to cause additional problems.
