Buyers' remorse in Dearborn, Michigan

Arab-Americans, such as those in the  Arab-majority city of Dearborn, Michigan, made quite a song and dance about how they where going to "punish" Kamal Harris amd the Democrats for not being loud enough in their support for the beleaguered Arabs of the Middle East. I have already commented on how silly and short-sighted this was.

After the election, there is probably a lot of buyers' remorse in Dearborn (not that their votes either way would actually have swung the result, of course). The city voted 42% for Trump, 36% for Harris and 18% for Green Party candidate Jill Stein (which, as a vote against Harris, effectively counts as a vote for Trump). American Muslim voters in general voted 53% for Stein, 21% for Trump and 20% for Harris.

Well, I hope they are pleased with themselves. They have helped elect a Muslim-hating, ultra-pro-Israel President and Congress. Some of them will get deported. As one Muslim commentator put it, having seen some of Trump's pro-Israel cabinet nominations, "it does looked like our community has been played". You don't say! But the important thing is that they really showed those Democrats, eh?
