This group that helped Harris lose is finding out the hard way [View all]

This group that helped Harris lose is finding out the hard way - Daily Kos

“It should come as no surprise that Trump’s racist travel ban overwhelmingly targets Black and brown people from countries in Africa, the Middle East, and the Caribbean," said Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib in a statement. "These policies are rooted in white nationalism and will only increase hate, xenophobia, and Islamophobia in our country."

Tlaib, notably, refused to endorse Democratic nominee Kamala Harris for president last year. And she wasn’t alone. 

In 2020, heavily Muslim Dearborn, Michigan, backed Joe Biden, giving him 69% of their vote. In 2024, only 36% of the city voted for Harris, while 42% backed Trump. Another 18% backed Green Party candidate Jill Stein. As Politico summarized in a headline, “Dearborn’s Arab Americans feel vindicated by Harris’ loss.”

Ah yes, sweet, sweet vindication. Weirdly, there aren’t many protests outside the White House. Where are the numerous rallies against “Killer Vance”? Where are the chants of “Genocide Don”? Curious, isn’t it?
