I think this election will show a slow realignment of Arabs and Muslims toward Republicans.
Probably going to be a line between Arabs/Muslims who feel economically secure and those who don't. The racism and Islamaphobia are pretty well entrenched to the point of being foundational in the US right and I don't think that's ever going to change.
If its not economic what actually is there to attract Muslim or Arab voters to the Republican party or American conservatism?
They could have hand picked the most friendly, least controversial speaker
Pretty sure I heard the speaker give their speech on some other outlet and it was pretty tame and lib. The speaker already was friendly uncontroversial.
Oh... no... the flashbacks...

Depends on the store.
Your non chain store that has a loyalty program, probably doesn't have the interest or capital to pay some third party to manage the data collection and analysis to try to direct market things to you.
Worked at a co-op grocery store for a while. The "owners" could use their owner number to keep track of their purchases to count towards their patronage refund amount and it also allowed some limited ability to look at full transaction information to deal with misrings, returns without recipts, etc. in the decade that I worked there, there was no effort or interest (even though the people running the coop at the highest level were definitely "business goober" types) to try to use the info for direct marketing or to sell to a data broker.
Funny... either Putin is a coldblooded calculating master manipulator or a bumbling incompetent stumbling through one embarrassment to the next. I guess it just depends on which day of the week it is.
I-am-very-smart: Ukrainian sources "claim" that Russian missiles struck many places in Ukraine. There are no Russian sources regarding this claim. Therefore I conclude that the missile attack didn't happen.

I approve this message!
My heart goes out to you comrade.
Second paragraph...
A former top U.S. commander and a senior [defense] analyst with deep ties to Ukraine both say no one should be quick to draw hasty conclusions from the events of the past two weeks.
heh.
In his nightly address on Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his country's daring military incursion aims to create a buffer zone to prevent further attacks by Moscow across the border.
If you can't keep your own territory, you're not actually creating a buffer zone.
The first assumption demolished by this operation was that Ukraine wouldn't be able to regain the initiative until next year.
Huh? Ukraine is currently in a holding position within its own country, throwing a bunch of troops at a bunch of small towns in Russia and claiming it as a strategic victory is right up there with the US military in Afghanistan parking a platoon of grunts in an empty house every 20 miles and coloring in the map of Afghanistan with the "secured" color on their PowerPoint presentations.
Some observers have speculated that Ukraine was trying to draw Russian troops away from the Donbas to relieve pressure on its forces there.
This is a reasonable assessment of the Ukraine gamble...
If that was the case, Karber said, the gamble "really hasn't paid off" and he fears the Ukrainians will soon face a determined counterattack on one or both of the shoulders of the salient.
... and Ukraine seems to have lost their bet.
"I think that it's been clear for some time that Russia does not have the ability to knock Ukraine out of the war as long as the West continues to provide even the modest amounts that we are providing now."
Or we can phrase it slightly differently as, "to the last Ukranian."
"It seems like they're just trying to do more and more of the same, and certainly they will have lost thousands of experienced troops and leaders that are now being replaced by those who are not as well trained or experienced. Where is the bottom of that barrel for Russia?"
Where is the bottom of the barrel for Ukraine? So long as open warfare is happening, untrained troops are going to have "opportunities" to get experience. Until there aren't any more bodies to throw into the meat grinder, nobody is going to see the bottom of the barrel.

There is no guarantee they'll change their attitude no matter what you do.
If they aren't immediately shutting down any conversations you try to have with or around them about these topics, just keep having them.
If possible, "just be normal". Not everybody is a political junkie so their desire to have and express an opinion about things might just be very weak. Keep sending info to your friend but if its obvious that they aren't reading every 30,000 word article you find or watching every 10 hour YouTube video ... its probably a sign to be a bit more selective in what you're sending their way. Try fewer things, shorter in length and more directly to the point.
How often do you ask them what they think/feel about things that aren't directly related to something that you've been vocal about? Maybe there's a chance that they would like to talk about things but know they'd be steamrolled by the debate lords in the group.
