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?
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.
