US Muslim leaders who supported Republican Donald Trump to protest against the Biden administration’s support for Israel’s war on Gaza and attacks on Lebanon have been deeply disappointed by his cabinet picks, they tell Reuters.
“Trump won because of us and we’re not happy with his Secretary of State pick and others,” says Rabiul Chowdhury, a Philadelphia investor who chaired the Abandon Harris campaign in Pennsylvania and co-founded Muslims for Trump. Muslim support for Trump helped him win Michigan and may have factored into other swing state wins, strategists believe.
Stop blaming minorities that their families being killed by you make them reluctant to vote for you is my message to the blue MAGA ghouls in the comments.
I get that voting for a party that is funding Israel is hard for Muslims but seriously, voting for Trump expecting that support for Israel would be dialed down is just fucking stupid beyond belief. He stated his views about Palestine, FFS, you don’t have to guess
True Trump is also terrible about the ongoing genocide. But for one the only possible place where the Muslim vote may have influenced the election is Michigan and even then most like most people didn’t vote at all and those who did where something like 40 percent to trump 37 to Harris and 15 to Stein, I just hate some democrat loyalists are blaming either Arabs, Latino’s or black men for going slightly more towards trump than usual and ignoring how the democrats threw all the issues they care about under the bus to appeal to the mythical hoards of “never trump republicans” and also that Trump main base is still white males. It just makes me uncomfortable when i see for example white men blame black male misogyny for a slight trump shift over previous elections when close to 80% of black males still voted Harris in direct contradiction to white men.
