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.

No fucking shit.

Go fuck yourself.

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

No need. I’m pretty sure Trump will fuck them with round 2 of the Muslim ban, but I hope I’m wrong.

[-] Clbull@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I refuse to believe that people would be stupid enough to expect somebody who banned people from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen from even entering the USA in his first term to be pro-Gaza...

Nah, I actually think minorities voted more for Trump because the right have more socially conservative policies.

[-] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

That’s what I believe as well. Far left social issues should not be at the forefront of the campaign. Majority of Hispanic people I spoke to said they voted for trump either because economy, or because they didn’t agree with the Dems stance on trans rights. I’m all for equality but there are more pressing matters than which bathroom a person can use or should trans people be allowed to compete in a certain sport. Let the state decide and move on. Stop alienating the majority of Americans for less than 5% of the population.

[-] Kalysta@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

We tried to fucking warn them.

They can suffer through this hell the same way the rest of us do, only they get to know they caused it.

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

"Hey, asshole. Shut up and get on the plane."- Trump Administration to this chucklefuck in a couple months.

You voted for this, you stupid motherfucker. Now you get to enjoy the ride like the rest of us.

I didn’t think the leopards would eat my face!

I mean what did they expect? Yes, i didn’t agree with Bidens current policy or what Kamala was going to do, but I knew trump would be worse.

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

Man, Americans are so fat even our leopards overeat.

Chonky kitty!

[-] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

There's at least 76,430,748 new faces to be eaten. Not enough leopards.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

Oh, they will find the leopards.

[-] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Sorry my bad, I meant that as to why that leopard was the size it was. Too many faces to eat. Gluttonous.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

It's almost like people were told a million times that Trump didn't acknowledge Palestine existed and that Kamela wanted a ceasefire

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Stop. Just stop.

It's a post-truth world. Just...give up. We're all yelling into the void. These people are being force-fed "facts" consisting of cherry picked data and sound bites from every angle imaginable. It's their news. It's their friends. It's their family, and their neighbors. Their community leaders, and their social leaders, and their religious leaders. It's in their face, constantly, everywhere they go.

You can't compete with that. That's brainwashing on a societal level.

You can't both be right, and be victorious, in that environment. Simply because for the same amount of effort you put out expelling one falsehood, they can be exposed to a thousand more.

I give up. I have no more faith in humanity. People are proudly digging their heads into the sand to avoid hard truths and then act shocked when "I told you so". Fuck them, and fuck me for having to go down with them. Fucking children. Fucking ostrich children fucks. Pitiful. Repugnant. Deplorable.

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Oh lord +25 -2

Blatant lies sure are popular here.

Even your description of their promises are false.Trump was the one who invited Palestinians on stage when Harris shunned them.

[-] fne8w2ah@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Leopards ate my face, example #5937719

[-] Red_October@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Got exactly what they voted for.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

What did they think they would vote for? How stupid can one be?

[-] PortoPeople@lemm.ee 0 points 1 month ago

These are not smart people.

[-] hddsx@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 month ago

You are the reason I dislike liberals.

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

Be more like AOC. She asked her constituents that voted for both her and Trump why they voted for Trump so that she could understand them.

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

Do you know anyone in your personal life that fell victim to a scam? Used car? Telemarketer?

How many times would it take that victim being scammed by the same person before you called them dumb?

[-] hddsx@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 month ago

What does calling people dumb accomplish? Get them to hate you?

Why don’t you do something productive like help them recognize scams?

[-] Kalysta@lemm.ee 0 points 1 month ago

Hard to do when they’ve decided the scammer is God and anyone who says otherwise is the enemy who deserves to die.

[-] hddsx@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

I’m not saying go talk to the hardcore MAGA cultists mate. I’m saying seek to understand motivations and be open to dialogue if they can be convinced (ie. Former democrats voters). All I’m saying is coming with “stupid” right off the bat doesn’t help anyone.

I do insult 45 because no matter what I do or say I’m not going to convince him. I think the Muslims who voted for 45 again in my state, however, CAN be convinced

[-] rational_lib@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

Behind door #1: Isn't as one-sided as you regarding a war in another country that involves your religion.
Behind door #2: Tried to enact laws that openly discriminate against your religion just a few years ago. And is also totally one-sided against you regarding that same war.

It's a tough choice.

They were upset by the democrats as well, which is probably why they turned to the only other party in the country. I know people are going to rush in and say "but the democrats would be better than trump!!" and that may be true to some extent, but the genocide started and progressed unabated under democrats. I guess Muslims can just get fucked, huh folks?

[-] OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 month ago

I mean, these people (the leaders in the article) threw basically any minority group in the US and all of Ukraine under the bus to make their point. I'm not gonna say anything about all Muslims, but these leaders can definitely get fucked.

[-] hark@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

They weren't thrown under the bus, they were already lined up in front of the bus by democrats who then pointed at the republican bus driver and screamed that they would be driven over if they didn't vote democrat.

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 month ago

Have you ever heard of an analogy before? Because that's like...the Stretch-Armstrong of analogies.

[-] hark@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

There is a reason why the go-to argument to vote for democrats is "because the republicans are worse".

[-] OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 month ago

Is that because Republicans are worse?

Listen, we aren't going to make Democrats better by letting Republicans win, that just lowers the bar for the even further

If you want real change it's going to take drastic action with significant personal risk from a lot of people.
