IIRC that Muslim-Trump vote was what flipped Michigan to Red in the last election.
According to exit polls, Muslims went from 88% for Biden, to 55% for Harris. (Technically, I read 88% Biden to 45% Trump. Votes were split between more than 2 people.) So 3,800 Muslims for Trump, 4,600 Muslims not for Trump. Meanwhile, almost everyone in that city is white. Very rough numbers but that's like 39,000 whites / Christians people voting for Trump.
I think the whole "this single moment is what cost him the championship" is ridiculous in sports, it's worse to single out 1/12th the population and say they broke the camel's back.
Abso-fucking-lutely, and I don’t know if it’s just infuriating or alarming that even self proclaimed liberals and leftists are pumping their fist looking for a minority to blame the situation on.
Agreed

If ~1% of the state population was such an important voting block...
Maybe the Dems candidate should have listened to what they wanted from a candidate?
I don't understand why we're focusing on them though
61% Christian, how'd they vote?
Guessing pro-genocide.
This is LeopardsAteMyFace and the Republicans are very Islamophobic; of course the post is focusing on Muslim Trump voters
And the title contains a false statement made to make people feel like a group of "others" are really to blame...
If you don't understand how that parallels Republican ideology, you're making my point that the people who dunk on others can't think like Democrats.
Because Republicans always think they're the Normandy assume everyone agrees with them.
The reason America is so fucked up is 30 years ago those people took over the Dem party under the lable "modern neoliberalism".
That's why there's such a large disconnect between dem voters and dem leadership. And why turnout has been depressed and Republicans have been winning.
Luckily for everyone, the neoliberals are out of party leadership now, and even if you all vote R like you did when Obama was the candidate, neoliberals voters are statistically insignificant.
You won't win Republicans the election, you won't lose it for Democrats.
Because we get sooo many votes from traditional non voters when we don't have to ask them to hold their noses.
