kestrel7_7@lemmy.world 4 days agoIn 2024, Trump met with the Palestinian imams who the DNC snubbed and said there needed to be a ceasefire in Gaza. This is a big part of why Trump carried Michigan. I doubt Trump convinced many Muslim Americans and their friends to vote for him, but it appears he successfully convinced enough of them not to vote for Biden/Harris.
I’m not saying this makes Trump better on this issue than Biden, because Trump was obviously lying. I am saying Trump read the room better and “did politics” better, because Biden/Harris wouldn’t even tell that lie.
Personally, I held my nose and voted for Harris, but there’s no doubt in my mind that she lost because she and Biden were out of touch on Palestine.

Kamala Harris was endorsed by a US and international coalition of 25 Muslim faith leaders, condemned Netanyahu in a press conference immediately after meeting with him. LINK to Document She frequently met with refugees and doctors from Gaza and promoted their stories.
Every asshole who endorsed Trump under that pretense is demonstrably a dumbass and a fool. Pete Hegseth’s official statement on Palestine is “Death or Exodus”. Trump bragged about delivering those halted aid shipments.

Netanyahu clearly favored Trump during the election. Trump’s past statements included using nuclear weapons on the middle east, killing the families and relatives of terrorists. And you’re right to say it worked, over 6 Million stupid assholes who voted for Biden in 2020 stayed home in 2024.
