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.

    You just look down on other people instead of trying to understand why they did what they did.

    Strong anti-generalization assertion.

    Except

    You are the reason I dislike liberals.

    Ah shit, you opened with a cheesy generalization. Validating to see the"every accusation is a confession" thing holds.

    But let’s get into it.

    • one was bad but could be swayed

    • one was worse on all counts for all criteria, was only getting worse, can’t be fixed and would tear down all the checks and balances that make government work

    They picked the second option, overwhelmingly, despite the massive damage to the very fabric of the nation and the insanely worse prospects for them as a recognizable minority.

    Logic it out.

      First off all, I didn’t vote for the orange turd. Let’s get that out of the way.

      Second of all, there is PLENTY to criticize on the conservative side but I don’t want to see another fascist in office so I’m trying to improve the liberal side.

      Muslims had a SIGNIFICANT impact on the results in my state. You are minimizing their core issue - getting democrats to actually support not killing Muslims in Gaza. Thats it

        their core issue - getting democrats to actually support not killing Muslims in Gaza

        And by choosing that as the core issue they chose to have even more death in Gaza. Even if they convinced the Democratic Party to now shift on this issue entirely, they completely lack the power to do anything about it because they lost the election and control zero branches of government. It’s very difficult not to see this coming from an entire galaxy away.

          And so the solution is to keep sending bombs to Israel and ignore them, since they’re so stupid, right? Clearly their votes don’t matter, so why even bother listening to them or appealing to them, right?
