Muslims who voted for Trump upset by his pro-Israel cabinet picks - eviltoast

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.

      Cool. Don’t meet their concerns then. It’s really important to feel morally superior while you’re politically irrelevant

        When “being politically irrelevant” is not being a fascist, who has the moral high ground?
