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.

    I’m not lumping in jack shit buddy, you’re just backtracking on the stupid Islamophobic shit you’ve been saying and backing up here. Again, since you seem to have a blind spot for your own comments

    Again, if you’re only talking about Muslims that voted trump, make that actually fucking clear instead of just saying Muslims are stupid and not worth appealing to (or “teaching”, as you say since you’re so much smarter than those savages)

      I never said Muslims are stupid. I never actually said Muslim voters for trump are stupid (though i do think that.) I clarified that someone else said Muslim Trump voters are stupid, not Muslims are stupid. This whole crusade (pun definitely intended) you’ve gone on is completely misdirected, and kinda adorable. You’re just virtue signaling so hard.

        I agree that Muslim trump voters are stupid. And sure, you never said Muslims are stupid, but that’s sure as fuck how your “teaching a fish to ride a unicycle” spiel came across. You’re opposing the idea of trying to teach people to recognize scams, bc they’re so stupid there’s no point in trying. If the “they” you’re talking about is just Muslim trump voters, try actually saying that instead of just implying something more bigoted and acting superior when someone interprets bigoted looking garbage as bigoted garbage. And just in general, try not being a self righteous asshat just bc someone doesn’t 100% tow the liberal line, bc you and your buddies are really really bad for that, and again, it loses you voters and gains you nothing. But what do I know? I’m just some stupid leftie, not an ascended liberal white savior like your highness
