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.
I never said Muslims are stupid. I never actually said Muslim voters for trump are stupid (though i do think that.) I clarified that someone else said Muslim Trump voters are stupid, not Muslims are stupid. This whole crusade (pun definitely intended) you’ve gone on is completely misdirected, and kinda adorable. You’re just virtue signaling so hard.
I agree that Muslim trump voters are stupid. And sure, you never said Muslims are stupid, but that’s sure as fuck how your “teaching a fish to ride a unicycle” spiel came across. You’re opposing the idea of trying to teach people to recognize scams, bc they’re so stupid there’s no point in trying. If the “they” you’re talking about is just Muslim trump voters, try actually saying that instead of just implying something more bigoted and acting superior when someone interprets bigoted looking garbage as bigoted garbage. And just in general, try not being a self righteous asshat just bc someone doesn’t 100% tow the liberal line, bc you and your buddies are really really bad for that, and again, it loses you voters and gains you nothing. But what do I know? I’m just some stupid leftie, not an ascended liberal white savior like your highness
In a conversation about muslims who voted for trump, calling “them” stupid is calling muslims who voted for trump stupid, because muslims who voted for trump are the subject. Since you agree with that, it is your poor reading comprehension that is at fault. You abandoned the context of the “who voted for trump” qualifier and went off on a rant about bigotry.
Why did you ignore the subject of the conversation, you know, the context, so you could go off on a rant about how elitist, and bigoted, libs are? That is the only way you could have come to the conclusion you did. You have to ignore that the subject of the conversation is not muslims but muslims + who voted for trump. This is on you. You are the one in the wrong.
Oop good point about the article, I forgot the comments I’ve been replying to have been on an article specifically about Muslim trump voters. Sorry, that was dumb and I should’ve paid attention to that in the first place
Hey, it happens, as long as you can look back at yourself and realize it, it’s cool. Everyone struggles with this shit, I know I have a big issue with it myself.
