Summary

Key leaders of the “Abandon Harris” movement, which encouraged voters to oppose Kamala Harris due to U.S. support for Israel during the Gaza war, are now expressing unease about Trump’s incoming administration.

Many in the movement, including prominent Muslim leaders, voted for Trump hoping he would bring peace to the Middle East.

However, concerns are growing over his Cabinet picks, such as Mike Huckabee and Tulsi Gabbard, which some see as troubling for Muslim communities.

    How the FUCK would you hope for that? Have you been living under a rock and didn’t know who Trump actually is and what he does? The Muslim ban Trump? That Trump? Bringing peace to the Middle East? Seriously?

      The American electorate is stunningly stupid and disconnected from reality. Look up some of the trending Google searches on election day, they’re stupider than you think

        Devotion to religion is also a red flag for inability to think critically. Being conditioned not to think for yourself is a tenant of all religions. The more fundamental the less thought is happening. Trump and the republicans have realized this and used it to his advantage almost exclusively.

        Like the ones confused that Biden wasn’t an option.

        decades of dismantling the education system will do that to you…

          This is a bullshit excuse. The average America receives a very well rounded education. They choose not to use it.

      Yes: the guy who banned Muslims from entering the US on his previous term will end the war and bring peace to the Middle East.

      monkey’s paw curls

      palestinians are thoroughly genocided and Gaza + West Bank + other lebensraum in the area have all structures reduced to grade #7 gravel

      That is also technically peace, in that there is no more fighting. It’s just a really bad one.

      Truly, the gullibility of some people simply beggars belief.

        Yeah, his vision of peace was Israel getting rid of anyone who they don’t have good relationship with.

      Wait wait, I remember a guy who was constantly arguing and berating everyone about how Biden was just the worst Satan reincarnation or some shit and how we all needed to band together against both him and Harris. Oooh @HomerianSymphony , you still around, bud?

      We’d like an interview.

        They were probably just astroturfing, and now that they’ve successfully completed their objective, they’ve got no reason to stick around.

        I still see a handful of the useful idiots that were on here paroting those talking points, and I have to wonder if they’ve been able to accept that they were sold a bill of goods.

          They were the bill of goods. They were a line item on the Trump campaign budget. Their temp job is over so they’re not posting.

          Genocide Joe is a demon who put his own ego over the good of the country. He knew he couldn’t win, he knew Kamala couldn’t win, and yet he (and his/her campaign) stuck with the losing playbook because they don’t believe anything they say

          You sure aren’t living up to that name with comments like that.

          Look, it wasn’t about Biden or Harris or Obama or whomever else you want to project your shitty little excuses on. This cycle was about stopping a then would-be dictator. We were trying to do right by the world. Not by you. Not by the MAGA cultists. Not by Gaza or Ukraine alone. For everyone through stopping someone who had made it clear he, and through the agreement and support of the GOP, would do worse.

          Then you single issue idiotic disappointments wouldn’t wake the fuck up. Yes, the Dems fucked up. Harris started strong and some snob Left probably ancient “strategist” convinced her to shift gears and she toned it down, along with other bad choices. It was shit. You know what I can die knowing I did?

          Not voting someone who might actually be fucking evil BACK into the Office of the Biggest God Damn Chair we have. So kiss my ass, Schwdinehund, at least we tried to stop what’s coming.

            Biden had no chance of winning. Kamala had no chance of winning. Their campaigns knew that.

            If stopping a would be dictator is so important they would run someone with a chance. The Democratic party is dead, sticking with it means you want to lose

              Sticking with it wasn’t a choice. You seem to believe taking our current situation and just rolling that shit back is a time machine we have the capacity of producing. There was no other candidate and we knew that. Unless you have a realistic suggestion that would have worked at the time.

              We’re listening.

                Biden put his ego over country and stayed in the race because he didn’t care if Trump won. Kamala accepted the nomination even though her team knew she couldn’t win because she didn’t care if Trump won. The Democrats don’t care if they lose, supporting them means you don’t care if you lose which means you don’t really care about stopping the would-be dictator.

                  Okay, at the risk of being censored: You’re actually being stupid.

                  We do NOT support the current Democrats, nor the party, nor their way of doing things. We supported trying to make sure Trump did not get a second term by standing beside the only candidate(s) that had a chance because there wasn’t anyone else. So stop for a second and think because it’s clear you’re a single issue voter: You can’t stop repeating the same faulty freaking logic.

                  Then is not now.

                  Then does not mean we supported them.

                  We wanted a better world. Days where we don’t have to worry so much. We support Gaza and Ukraine.

                  If this and much, much more means supporting the opponent of a would-be dictator, then we fucking do so. That’s the difference. WE SAW THE BIGGER PICTURE and did what we had to do.

                  It was what had to be done. The Dems fucked up their messaging. However, people like you chose to fuck our home and possibly the world to greater and lesser degrees because you stand so damned fucking stalwart it’s like trying to convince a brick wall to fall over with kind words of encouragement. If I live through these next four years I hope to be a part of the team that writes the history books. If I am I’ll make sure to cite people like you, @MisterScruffy , for your contribution towards tyranny and dictatorship.

                  And for the record: Yes, I’m pissed. Not at you, you’re dumb. At what brought us to this point.

      These are people who believe in invisible sky wizards. Clearly, they’re capable of believing any amount of BS.
