Voters in Arab-American strongholds likely tipped Michigan in Trump’s favor
Voters in Arab-American strongholds likely tipped Michigan in Trump’s favor
The votes for Trump added up in Dearborn, Dearborn Heights and Hamtramck.
Do not do this
Blaming the white majority that voted for Trump: ✋😤
Finding a scapegoat minority to blame: 😍
Don't worry, there's enough blame for everyone to share
Scratch a liberal, my friend, and you know the rest.
That's a stupid lie created by tankies to coerce Anarchists and other Libertarian leftists to ally with them over liberals. I'd ally with a liberal over a Tankie any day because they're less dangerous and more numerous.
Edit: Every ML and Maoist is a fascist.
I talk to a lot of immigrants, and nobody hates immigrants like immigrants, and nobody complains about immigrants like Trump.
I'm not sure but isn't that a thing more among Latino immigrants?
Especially Cubans
I've heard Koreans, Nigerians, Indian immigrants and others(including Latinos) complain about immigrants in real life , but I think the phenomenon is reported about Latinos because most Americans primarily think about immigrants as Latinos.
Harm reduction was not attractive enough for them, unfortunately.
May fate have mercy upon the remaining 2 million Palestinians in Gaza, because Trump will quite assuredly not have mercy on them. I would not be surprised if the end result is their complete annihilation.
Now the Palestinians in the USA will also have problems, due to Trump's policies.
So, congratulations for the self-goal?
Going to be some leopards feasting well in the upcoming years.
I don’t think this was the decider. I may think their vote was unfortunate, and probably very unfortunate for them specifically, but the truth of the matter is that the abandonment of the working class in the Rust Belt is what swing the election. This would have been a safe protest vote in a world where the Democrats openly and unashamedly courted workers.
The real irony is that if they had courted workers, they would have been able to support a bolder stance against the genocide as well, and thus not lost these votes.
I don’t think this was the decider
It's not the only factor, but I think it's a fact that had Arab Americans voted blue in the same numbers as 2020, democrats would've won Michigan. Which wouldn't have fucking mattered because Harris lost before Michigan even finished counting, but yeah.
If you think Trump will do a better job of saving the Palestinian people, you’re in for a rude awakening.
Almost everyone in North Gaza will be dead by New Years. That’s not on Trump, that’s on Biden. He can’t even be bothered to airdrop food any more, let alone tell Netanyahu in public to stop.
It's not a fantasy. It's anger and disdain for the stupidity of voting against their own interests and bringing others down with them, not wishing harm. I've said this in other posts, but I bet there is more than meets the eye with this situation that we aren't privy to. The options were the VP of a guy that did provide some aid to Gaza and told Netanyahu he was going too far, which they feel isn't enough, or a guy that is ok with them just wiping them out. The choice is a chance for Palestine to survive vs all but certain annihilation. Does anyone think Hamas would do anything different if the roles were reversed? I don't have a solution, but Trump is going to give them more of what they have a grievance with.
Dividing us once again. The only thing that matters is that the wealthy elite won. Anyone who isn't them lost, and we should all be fighting together.
Doubtful.
Trump won Michigan with 2,804,647 votes. Harris had 2,724,029 votes. Stein got 44,697 votes.
Most Arab Americans and Muslim-Americans said they would vote for Harris or Stein. We don’t have data yet on turnout for the community. And honestly, this failure is on Harris. Her campaign refused to allow Palestinian-Americans to endorse her at DNC despite Harris giving the microphone to Liz Cheney and others on stage. She didn’t meet with any Muslim community people in PA until the last week of the entire campaign. Biden detoured his campaign stops to skip Arab neighborhoods in Michigan completely and wouldn’t apologize for his anti-Palestinian remarks. Harris could have won those voters back by saying that she didn’t agree with Biden and that Palestinian lives are also just as important but she chose not to. Hillary Clinton thought that throwing Muslims under the bus would get a few republicans to flip to her and Harris thought the same.
Well that's pretty darn interesting of actually true.
I mean it is what it is but I better not hear a peep about any of the things they will regret in the decision to dick all of us over.
May they remember that the dildo of consequences rarely comes lubed.
Especially if they ordered from the Trump enterprises.
If you voted for stein, trump or stayed home...
The hardest thing to accept is that, regardless, good Americans are still going to fight for those in the Muslim community if this administration gets in. You voted for this, indirectly or directly, and they are salivating at the pending opportunity to put you in camps, regardless of your actual background of citizenship, because you "Look foreign!" and that scares them.
How can you be such poor students of (extremely recent) history? I sincerely hope that we don't see the worst of what's possible, but make no mistake, you've made the wrong bet and very likely voted for your own downfall.
No. Just no. Stop attacking the voters! There is no reason when the fall lies on the DMC for running a shitty campaign. If we keep agrueing on who to blame it only validates the rights assumption that we're elitist.
I mean even if Gaza didn't happen I feel like a voting bloc primarily built around a religious group wasn't going to be firmly held by the Democrats anyway tbh.
Just like a lot of Latinos this year, they're happy to vote for Trump because they "got mine" and aren't concerned about deportation, etc.
Many of them voted Green due to Gaza policies.
I read another article that surveyed 1,000 swing state voters, and only six of them even identified Gaza as an issue of concern to them.
What state? MI has a ton of Muslims.
It was all different swing States. She was a phone canvasser and was recording the results of all her calls. I'm sure there's some selection bias in that it's not completely representative.
I'm just saying, you know how after the election search results spiked for "Did Joe Biden drop out?"
People online commenting on politics on purpose aren't the average voters. Most people have no fucking clue what's going on with anything, or even how anything works. Those people literally don't care about Gaza and probably haven't even heard about it.
years later we will be seeing documentaries on how Trump or Elon paid someone or used their own means to target these communities to sway their votes. now we know why Elon got xhitter.
The face-eating leopards will descend upon them quite soon.
I hope they (and other groups that think Trump will help them) had fun shooting themselves in the foot. Now we all get to suffer for it. Thanks for that.
Harm reduction was not attractive enough for them, unfortunately.
May fate have mercy upon the remaining 2 million Palestinians in Gaza, because Trump will quite assuredly not have mercy on them. I would not be surprised if the end result is their complete annihilation.
Good riddance. I hope they're not* removed from the country for this, but I hope if people are deported, they're first on the planes. Fucking leopard bait.
Edit: I meant to type, I hope they're not removed. I omitted the word "not" when typing from my phone.
Trump's going after illegal first, legal are second.
... Well actually Trump is a massive islamophobe. Hmm but it is harder in the court to deport legal immigrants. Dunno what will happen. Maybe any student or work visas from Muslim countries will be revoked. Yeah, that's my bet.
I mistyped. I did not mean to say I wanted them removed. I hope nobody is deported, but if there are people being deported it's the people that voted for Trump.
