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.

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

    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.

      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.

          From what I see the user went to Bluesky, but we don’t know if he really did it or if his account was suspended.
