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.

    You talk like I have any say on who gets to run. I don’t like Harris’ platform. I know it’s centrist garbage. But you know what’s worse? EVERYTHING that Trump is doing and planning. It doesn’t take much to see that. And when you only have 2 shit choices, going with the less shit option is preferable. So yes, it’s the fault of voters that we have trump. It’s the DNCs fault Harris was their top pick and that the primaries were a joke. But in the end it’s voters that pick and they decided between the living embodiment of “meh” and an orange cunt with muktiple felonies and a nasty track record of fucking over everything in his path, And the voters picked the orange cunt. The parties don’t vote. People do. And people were narcissistic twats that went off “the general vibe of things” instead of using any reasoning whatsoever. Try to scapegoat this shit all you want, but people are responsible for their choices.
