Michigan's Muslim voters were (rightly) pissed at Biden administration's Gaza policy, so many voted for Trump, whose anti-Islam bigotry was well known, and helped give him the state's electoral votes. And now they're shocked, shocked to discover how self-defeating that was. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/21/michigan-arab-communities-ice-fear
@dangillmor Yeah this is the stuff that I dont get. #Trump was clear what he was going to do. #Tariff is the most beautiful word in the dictionary. They are eating the dogs, they are eating the cats.
So why this buyers remorse. You got what you asked for. That too with a crushing majority, both the electoral college as well as the popular vote.
People who voted for and supported #DJT have no right to complain now. There was an alternative that was not taken.

You say Trump was clear, but that ignores that he and his people would immediately contradict his statements and go the other way.
Heck, his own supporters can't agree on what the guy is saying on a daily basis. GOP commentators looking at the same gobbeldygook say it means opposite things.
Mainly, people knew they didn't want Harris. It was obviously stupid for Democrats to skip primaries and run her. Voters didn't know what Trump would do because he's so nonsensical, so they rolled the dice.
@volkris @dangillmor
After a long time a reasonable and sensible post.
If #Trump was being contradicted by his minions then pay attention to what #DJT says. His minions work at his pleasure, which was emphasised recently by the US Ambassador to #Israel in an interview with #TuckerCarlson.
People were looking for someone who could solve the issue of prices and living wages. If they rolled the dice and it said #DJT, then live with the outcome of that role of dice.
I mean yes, everybody lives with the outcomes of the dice that we all roll when we vote.
What of it?
Trump is constantly refuted by his minions. He constantly makes pronouncements that don't actually come to pass because he's a joke and everyone around him knows it. They all just use him.
Look at all these trade deals that he announced that didn't actually turn out. Look at all these peace plans that he announced when there was no peace afterwards. Look at all these laws that he announced that didn't actually get passed the way that he said they would work.
The guy is a joke, and everyone around him knows it and they just use him for staging and then they ignore him and do what they want to do anyway.
Unfortunately so many people voted for him because they were convinced that he was this great leader. Unfortunately his opposition didn't bother to tell them What a loser he is.
