      This is exactly it.

      When I talk to my family about how they can excuse all of this crap and continue to support Trump. “Wayuhl. I voated fer Trump ‘cause all ‘iss gay sheeuht. It ain’t godly and we gotta git back godly.”

      Ok, so you can forgive rape and the most visibly disgusting gluttony and greed you’ve ever seen, but two people better not be gay even when it has no impact on you whatsoever?

      “It’s awyuh see onnuh teevee inny more. Gay ‘iss and gay ‘at. They shuhtin’ be brainworshin tha keeuhds.”

      They have consistently voted democrat in the past despite the consistent pro lgbt stance of the dems, the last vote was against the Biden’s support of Israel. and most of those who abstained from voting outnumber those who voted for Trump.

          It was a “hail Mary” (pardon the pun).

          In their view, Democrats are a guarantee that Israel will slowly but surely grind the Palestinians to dust. They were willing to risk Trump accelerating that for a snowball’s chance in hell at some other outcome.

      Trump literally told Netanyahu to “finish the job” — as in, hurry up and genocide the Palestinians faster before world opinion completely shifts against you. That was public knowledge before the election. Arab-Americans had no excuse.

      Michigan Muslims sent a huge message to Democrats with how they voted in the Democratic primary, and that message was that they wanted Democrats to stop supporting the genocide in Gaza.

      Democrats told them to go fuck themselves.

      It’s you who are the morons, and this finger-wagging nonsense needs to stop because you need those votes.

          I’m not stupid and they’re not stupid.

          They tried to work through the Democratic Party for change and the Democratic Party spat in their faces. In this scenario, there’s a greater evil (Joe) and a lesser evil (Donald).

          It’s not by much, but the ceasefires that have occurred wouldn’t have happened under a Joe Biden or Kamala Harris presidency.

          Not on the issue of Gaza. Genocide Joe allowed the genocide to continue until the literal last hour of his presidency, when the ceasefire that Donald brokered took effect.

          There is no equivalency here. Donald has a better record on Gaza than Biden. It’s because he wants to exploit the issue for personal gain, true, but the fact stands.

          (for the record, I voted for Harris. obviously.)

          specifically on Gaza, I’m not convinced Trump is worse than Biden II would have been.

          Trump (and the RNC in general) have been exploiting American Jews as a pawn in their efforts to destroy academic institutions and purge leftist intellectuals, the way Democrats exploited trans people (until we stopped being politically convenient, then they folded like a house of cards, and predictably abandoned us.) that’s horrible, of course, and the narrative of Gaza is tied up in it, but it’s not actually focused on Gaza - the effects are domestic.

          aside from Trump’s inflammatory bluster on Gaza (building casinos and beachfront resorts for billionaires), what has he actually done? he’s negotiated with Hamas directly, and cut Netenyahu out of the loop. Trump has a huge ego, and he doesn’t play well with other world leaders with huge egos, like Netenyahu (or recently, Musk.) so when Netenyahu tried to push him around he told him to pound sand. and - for better or worse - with “America First” foreign policy, it’s increasingly hard to justify giving Israel billions of dollars to prosecute their genocide. I think Biden would have 100% been a pushover.

          meanwhile, they wouldn’t even address Gaza during the DNC convention. they were initially going to have a Palestinian-American person speak, but decided “nah” and cut them at the last minute. the DNC smugly decided that us minorities were “in the bag,” and told us shut up, while they pandered to the Neocons. now they’ve lost, and the DNC is toast, and if we ever get a shot at democracy again, whatever rises from the DNC’s ashes will have to actually be Progressive.

            And yet, Israel is bulldozing Gaza into the sea. Everyone with half a brain knew that Trump was a pathological lying malignant narcissist who licks the boots of fascist strongmen. He isn’t going to restrain Netanyahu, he’s going to get on his knees and kick his boots while telling Americans that he’s negotiating an end to the war. Remember how he ended to Russian aggression towards Ukraine within 24 hours?

          They were getting ethnic cleansing no matter who they voted for. Your candidate was Genocide Joe Biden.

          The difference here is that the Democrats insulted them, but of course, you all have learned absolutely nothing from this, and it’s shows some serious cognitive dissonance that you’re ignoring how hard their community worked through established channels to try and change Democratic policy before doing so.

                  Maybe, maybe not.

                  You’re speculating, but what we know definitively is that there wouldn’t have been a ceasefire if Biden or Harris had been elected. We know this because the only response they ever gave Netanyahu was ‘Yes, Daddy.’ whenever he asked for anything whatsoever.

                  That’s the the weird thing about a Trump presidency.

                  Sometimes good things happen for the wrong reasons, which is oddly preferable (at least on this issue) to a Biden presidency, which was 100% genocidal for no good reason. It’s strange living in a world where we’re more likely to get a ceasefire in Gaza because Donald wants to personally profit off of it whereas the Democrats just seem to really, really enjoy feeding weapons to an apartheid.

      Unofficial results released by the city of Dearborn show that Mr. Trump won 42 percent of the vote in Dearborn, compared with 36 percent for Ms. Harris and 18 percent for the Green Party candidate, Jill Stein.

      In 2020, similar results released after the election showed that Mr. Biden had won almost 70 percent of votes by Dearborn residents.

      Seems pretty likely they did

        That’s the city as a whole, whereas the post claims that specifically a majority of Arab Americans voted for Trump. I don’t have data by race, but I do have a source that the majority of Muslims voted for Jill Stein, both in general and specifically in Michigan. Trump got only 21% of the Muslim vote, not anywhere close to a “majority.”

          Michigan Arab community, majority of whom voted for Trump

          From the post title definitely is saying the majority of those in this community and not “all Arabs”

            “Michigan Arab community” means “all Arabs in Michigan.” It doesn’t specify a specific community beyond that.

              “It’s very unfortunate, sad news,” Abdulhakem Alsadah, president of the Dearborn-based

              “I think its sends the wrong message, that America is not open to democracy and freedom,” Ayad, the founder and board chairman of the Dearborn-based

              U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Ann Arbor, who used to live in Dearborn, also released a statement

              Seems pretty focused on Dearborn for an article just talking about Michigan as a whole

                Do you actually have data showing that the majority of Dearborn Arabs or Muslims voted for Trump, in contrast to both Michigan Muslims and Muslims in general, or are you just grasping at straws?
