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.

    Which just goes to show the lack of critical thinking skills in a shockingly large swath of the population.

      “If you don’t vote my way then you must be an idiot” is the endless refrain of the losing party. I hear it every election cycle

      Had Harris been the one edging out Trump on a razor thin margin, it would be conservatives whining about American voter stupidity.

      But if all these people are so thick headed, why do politicians find it so hard to get them to vote their way?
