Trump won the heart of Michigan’s Arab American community. They're moving away from Mike Rogers.

Bullshit way to lie about Harris' loss. They didn't vote for trump, most of them left the top of the ballot blank.
She did that all in her own

Pretty sure the arab community didn't like Trump, or the GoP, they just hated the bullshit they were hearing from Biden and Kamala. Turns out, they were serious about not liking the genocide in Palestine, and it's not like Trump or the GoP has done a damn thing to help.

The stuff coming from Biden/Kamala was unfortunate, but if someone then pivots to Republicans or not voting...well, they are living a world of delusion.

I'm with ya, I wouldn't have made the choice myself. Just pointing out what I've seen from Michigan Arabs.

Yeah, I can absolutely appreciate people of any background not being okay with Harris's stance on Israel, non-Israeli Middle Eastern people in particular. I just can't see turning to Trump and the GOP as any kind of improvement. That isn't rational behavior.

That's how you know so much of Arab community has fully integrated into American politics. Rational has completely left the building.

If you think people are going to vote for a candidate that’s actively supporting the genocide of relatives, even if that candidate is a little less enthusiastic about it….
YOU ARE THE DELUSIONAL ONE.
Harris made a decision that going after centrist/undecided voters was going to net more votes than courting the Palestinian vote. Or the Muslim vote; and that was wrong.
She told all of us in no uncertain terms that she was don’t to be another milquetoast Biden campaign. For fuck’s sake, Netanyahu was lying to Biden’s face without repercussion, but there’s not a thing she’d do differently?!

I'm tired of hearing liberals blame voters for not supporting their bullshit. The choices were fascist genocide or fascist genocide. Maybe your pathetic democracy has been dead for a while.
