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.

    Yep.

    The media was in on it in hopes that they could get so much ad revenue for farming dissent over every single thing that Trump says as he dementia blathers and bungles his way around the White House.

    The wealthy are in on it in hopes that since Trump is a grifter, there is a good chance that they can be in on the grift and let Trump take all the blame for their actions well they pocket the money and run.

    Kamala being president would have been a stable time in America and nothing is worse for grift and skeezy bullshit than political stability.

      I wouldn’t consider the previous four years under Biden as a stable time in America (compared to the late 90s for example), but yeah, would have been more stable than the first Trump term. I don’t think Harris winning would have changed much of the vibe under Biden, as long as Congress is pretty much an even split and and the majority of the Supreme Court justices are utterly corrupt.
