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.

    It’s funny that you accuse me of being bad at abstract thinking when you couldn’t understand the simple point I was making that just like the US has the capabilities to make things worse, they also have the capabilities to make things better, which biden has not used at all. He has pledged billions of dollars in weapons and permitted any actions that israel takes. Apparently the idea of things actually getting better just does not compute in your mind. This nicely sums up everything wrong with the democratic party and why they’re not actually opposition but rather a tag team partner with republicans. The genocide of the Palestinian people will proceed regardless of which party is in power.

    You’re so busy hammering the point that you’d rather eat shit with a kernel of corn in it because at least there is corn in there, but you’re still eating shit.

      Okay? That’s not at all relevant to the fact that things can get much worse, something you denied, and what we’re arguing about.

      This may be shocking, but biden’s support for the genocide is already “to the hilt”.

      Don’t know why I expected any sort of consistency from you, though. Anything to peddle your fascist-enabling genocide-supporting “BOTHSIDES” shite, self-contradiction be damned.

        You’re making a pointless argument. Things can always get worse. Name anything that could be done and I’ll tell you how it could be made worse. All you’re doing is distracting from the fact that both democrats and republicans are supporting a genocide and it’s not going to stop until Palestine does not exist anymore. The end result is the fucking same and you’re here arguing over pointless technicalities as if they mean anything. Get a clue.

          Ah, that explains it, you think that speeding up the genocide of Palestinians is a ‘pointless technicality’. How… charming.

            How do you measure this “speed up”? What you consider a speed up could’ve simply been the progression of the campaign which would’ve occurred under democrats as well. Either way the end result is the complete annihilation of the Palestinian people. Do you think starving them all to death is better than bombing them all to death just because it’s slower?

              Not unlike the past 20 years of genocide, but hey, who cares about the speed up in the past year? Same end result, right? /s

                You mean the speed up in the past year that happened under the democrats? Thanks for proving my point.
