Summary

U.S. Muslim leaders who supported Trump to protest Biden’s stance on Gaza and Lebanon now feel betrayed by Trump’s pro-Israel Cabinet picks.

His appointments of Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, Mike Huckabee as ambassador to Israel, and Elise Stefanik as UN ambassador have drawn sharp criticism, with some accusing the administration of pursuing “Zionist overdrive” and “neoconservative” priorities.

Rabiul Chowdhury, a Philadelphia investor who chaired the “Abandon Harris” campaign and co-founded “Muslims for Trump,” and Rexhinaldo Nazarko, executive director of AMEEN, feel betrayed by broken promises of peace.

“It’s like he’s going on Zionist overdrive,” said Nazarko, adding, “it does look like our community has been played.”

And people in the community were warning for months that this was the consequence of refusing to denounce genocide

And they were told, repeatedly, that Trump would be worse. Guess what happens now?

But somehow you only want to blame the racial and religious out group who can’t even be credibly blamed for losing the election.

Trump improved his margin across nearly every single demographic, so there's plenty of blame to go around. But in a comment thread about Muslim voters feeling buyer's remorse, I'm not going to talk about the white men who get fed shit from the manosphere podcast space, or the ghost of Phyllis Schlafly infecting women across this country to vote for the party that wants to take their rights away, or that when Trump was talking about Latino immigrants he was talking about them and not those other immigrants. It's called "context."

You guys were claiming for months they weren’t important and should be ignored

Nope, didn't say that. I said that when your choice is token lip service about maybe stopping Palestinian genocide, and making the genocide worse, that you should vote for the former, because otherwise you'll get the latter. Which is what happened. Congratulations, you told the Dems you weren't going to vote for them, and now are surprised they ignored what you wanted.
