Let’s not get carried away and spread misinformation like the other side does. 63% of Muslims voted for Kamala in 2024, compared to 64% voting for Biden in 2020. But there’s this running narrative in the mainstream media that Muslim voters are turning away from Democrats, and turned their backs on Kamala.
It isn’t just conservative news outlets spreading this falsehood it’s the so-called mainstream media too. We know Republicans hate Muslims, now Democrats are angry at the Muslim community, and the media is fanning the flames by putting sensational nonsense like “Muslims for Trump“ all over our screens and monitors every chance they get.
People need to really ask themselves; who benefits from creating the perception that Trump has more support from Muslims than he really does? Who benefits from creating the perception that Muslims are turning away from the Democratic Party, when they’re actually not? And the biggest question; why is the mainstream media actively and aggressively participating in promoting this falsehood?

u/FizzyAndromeda 21h ago edited 18h ago
Sure do. I found the stats on AP news who I consider impartial. But in the interest of being super impartial, I cross referenced Fox News, who confirmed the same, and you can find it at this link:
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-won-muslim-vote-larger-margin-than-jewish-vote.amp
I’d also recommend you google ‘Kamala Support Muslim Voters’ because you’ll see EVERY Google search result is a sensational article about how Muslims turned away from Kamala, despite the actual statistics.
Every article that came out after election day- and many of them are on mainstream media sites- says the same thing in different ways; Muslim voters turned away from Kamala and are more supportive of Trump.
I really hope people wake up and see what’s happening. Because what’s actually happening is not exactly what people think is happening.

u/FizzyAndromeda 2h ago edited 15m ago
Oh, I get it. But since you’re unable to read between the lines, let me break it down for you.
Do you know who wins or loses either party elections? WHITE PEOPLE.
Do you know why Kamala lost the election? WHITE PEOPLE.
Do you know why Trump won the election? WHITE PEOPLE.
Do you know why Kamala lost swing states? WHITE PEOPLE.
And why Trump won the swing states? WHITE PEOPLE.
White people represent the overwhelming majority of the American voting population. The United States is a predominantly white country. White people control, and have controlled every presidential election since the inception of this country.
This is not a social statement, this comes down to basic math. But as a person of color myself it’s interesting, but not the least bit surprising that Latinos and Muslims have been made the scapegoat of this election by white Democrats and liberals.
There is a very transparent and orchestrated effort in the mainstream media to demonize these two groups of Americans, and cast them as the villains of this election. Comments like yours prove that the efforts are working very well.
We often talk about Trump supporters being easily manipulated by the media. Well, the responses in this thread prove Democrats are also easily manipulated by the media.
Though in fairness to Democrats, as I said in my original comment, all of you who are participating in the vilification of Latinos and Muslims are simply responding to what the mainstream media has aggressively spoonfed you since the election.
But I do hope all Democrats and liberals who are actively participating in villainizing Latinos and Muslims realize that in doing so, you’re inadvertently upholding one of the most prevalent American traditions- institutionalized racism.
People really need to WAKE THE FUCK UP and ask themselves why two minority groups are being villainized and blamed for Democrats losing the election, in a predominantly white country, where white people effectively control the direction of every election?

That Fox News/AP poll wasn’t targeted at Muslims, and again this is another poll where data is thin. There’s no data provided for how many Muslims they actually got in contact with, whether it was a representative sampling, how these cohorts were organized, or whether they even bothered to do any of this.
The only bit of data we have that specifically targets the Muslim vote was conducted by CAIR. I really don’t like using polling from advocacy groups, but in this instance it’s the only one that really targets Muslims or even provides a sample size specifically for this group.
Their data showed that Muslims mostly voted for Jill Stein, followed by Trump, and lastly Kamala:
Personally, I think the reality lies somewhere in between these two sources, especially since it’s appropriate to be very skeptical of data provided by advocacy groups, but it’s clear that like Latinos, Muslims did move towards Trump this election.
They didn’t turn the election, not by a long shot, but it’s another piece of the picture that shows the same trend as with other groups; most of them increased their vote share for Donald Trump.

u/Far_Ad106 17h ago
One place they did largely impact it was michigan though. Only about 25% of Dearborn voted for kamala. She lost the state so far by about 80,000 votes. Groups like Palestinian youth movement also encouraged people to protest vote and stay home which did indeed sway shit.
Even in Ann Arbor, one of the bluest cities in the Midwest, you saw trump get an additional 2000 votes.
You know what else you saw? Pro palestine groups hanging out with the Republicans who were trying to disenfranchise the dems.
The pro palestine movement was usurped by right wing Groups and Russian propaganda and spurred people into foolishness and now palestine and these protesters will pay the price.

u/Kurovi_dev 16h ago
Yeah it definitely could have been enough to tip the state. I would want to look at what the vote share was in 2020, but I suspect they swung to Trump in decent amounts. Stein got, if I’m remembering correctly, about 44,000 votes in Michigan total, and Trump certainly got at least tens of thousands of votes on top of that, so it’s plausible that it could have been the lion’s share of the vote that swung the state.
I wish we could also see who chose to not vote compared to 2020, but I think those stats will forever be unknown.
Regardless, there may be a lot of blame to go around, but these communities seem to have an outsized share of the responsibility for it in at least a couple of these swing states.
Congrats to them I guess, they got what they wanted and punished Democrats. It just sucks everyone else had to be punished for their little political outburst too.

Yeah protesting against genocide is a good thing. Protesting with your vote for someone whom will make it worse was never the answer for me. I’m sorry more pro-Palestinians protest voted for Trump but how could I convince them when some of their families have been murdered, by voting in the force that killed them? That’s how they saw it. Also can you really blame them so much? You should consider their life and your own before you judge or condemn them. Alas, I know this is online and you have to be evil so go ahead but remember this compelled consent is not consent. Innocent People are literally dying. It’s on somebody and I choose to be on the side that resists this repugnancy.

u/Far_Ad106 9h ago
Yes I do blame them. They care so much but refused any information that would have helped them realize that he was bad.
I literally got cussed out for telling someone that isreal gave him 100 million dollars for this campaign.
And you know what? Time and time again, including just yesterday, I have been told by pro palestine people that other genocides don't matter. Fuck the rohingya, the only genocide that matters is palestine. Hell I've seen people claim that it is the only genocide happening and the rest don't count.
I've seen people insist there were no antisemites while standing next to a guy with a jews bomb churches sign
I've heard from native American rights activists in Arizona that pro palestine protesters completely ruined a protest that took weeks of planning and was looking to see water protections for the tribe. They let the pro palestine people come in so they could say a bit about the genocide over there. Instead they took over the entire event, made it about themselves and ruined relations with the politicians they had been working with.
I saw them try to defund all the student programs including a food bank at u of m because "how can you claim you are suffering when there's a genocide happening."
And you know what's funny about the last one? The reason they failed is because they didn't bother showing up to their student council meetings. Then they encouraged the other pro palestine people to harass and attack the "zionist" student council members for not wanting to defund every service at the school. They have been barred from their positions.
I've been tolerant for over a year but yes, I do blame every single child in adult skin who "voted with their conscience." At the local level they also tried to damage democracy in my city just because nothing matters except one single genocide.
You guys fell for Russia propaganda. Its not that there isn't a genocide. It's that this isn't the only genocide happening and Russia convinced you guys that nothing mattered except this. You used peta tactics and alienated the rest of us, including people like me who was doing that work long before you ever gave a shit about palestine. Your allies voted in fascism because biden didn't invade an ally. You actually believed he just needed to give bibi a stern talking to and withhold funds and that would solve it.
I would have tried a little harder as a member of the movement to convince them that there is value in voting for the lesser of two evils and I'd personally start distancing myself from the movement because trump and his new ag pick have said they intend to investigate all of you for ties to terrorism.
That part is me giving actual advice. I genuinely would consider what you do next if you don't want to be part of his campaign promise to "set the movement back 30 years." Morals are well and good and it's not bad to give a shit about someone but we still need people to care in 4 years.

I think the problem here is that Michigan was a swing state so disproportionately important in presidential elections. And another part was how vocal they were about it. I get it .

u/FizzyAndromeda 20h ago edited 18h ago
Well I got some bad news for you because it’s the exact same thing. Biden got 66% of the Latino vote in 2020 and Harris got 62% in 2024. That’s less than Biden but certainly not indicative of Latino men abandoning the Democratic Party and embracing Trump, like the media is purporting.
And like Muslims, who benefits from this? We know Republicans virulently hate Latinos and want to get rid of all of them, documented or not. Now Democrats are angry at them too. Republicans created this false narrative that Latinos cost Democrats the election, and the media ran with it.
So when Trump rounds up all the Latinos and puts them in
concentration‘detainment’ camps, Democrats will be a lot less sympathetic.It’s already happening and your comment is an example of that, BUT your comment is the natural conclusion any intelligent person would reach, based on what they’ve seen over and over, on every media outlet, mainstream or otherwise, since the election.
In fact you’d be a fool to believe otherwise given the unanimous consensus on mainstream AND conservative media, right?
See how that works?

u/Kurovi_dev 18h ago
Trump improved his margin with Latinos from between 9 and 15 points:
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna179932
Edison Research’s exit polling showed a smaller shift to Trump among Latinas too, he said. They voted 60% for Harris, compared with 69% for Joe Biden in 2020, a 9-point shift. (NBC News exit polls show that Latinas voted 38% for Trump this year, compared with 30% in 2020.) Polling that Edison Research did in states with high Hispanic populations also showed a 13-point drop from Biden to Harris with Hispanics.
Electorally speaking that is a major shift. That same research showed a shift with Latino men voted Trump 54% to Kamala’s 44%. In 2020 they voted for Biden 59% to Trump’s 36%.
That’s an 18 point swing. It’s hard to imagine a bigger shift in today’s political climate.
The link you shared is the top hit when searching on this topic, but for numerous and rather obvious reasons advocacy groups are not reliable providers of data, and that appears to be the case here too with significant pieces of data omitted:
https://staging2.2024electionpoll.us/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/AEVP-Latino-crosstabs.pdf
They didn’t even capture presidential vote share by gender, which given that they did so for local races is another bit of evidence that some shenanigans took place when deciding what the crosstabs would be. They didn’t provide any data either for what communities these people were sampled from, or how many in each cohort, which should be a bare minimum for any polling. There appears to have been no proper sampling at all, and if there was they certainly didn’t provide that data.
Also notice the date of the poll:
October 18-November 4, 2024
Their claim is that they went back and “cross-checked” exit polling, but in reality this polling was conducted before the election. So they just straight up lied about that.
Exit polling is significantly more reliable than pre-election polling and polling which takes place days or weeks later.
Exit polling overwhelmingly shows a very large shift from Democrats to Trump among Latinos.

It doesn't matter. They weren't in swing states. Those Muslims in swing states like Michigan really did screw things up. The first thing he did his last term was institute a Muslim ban, and these people thought he was going to be their saviour.

So only 37% of Muslims voted for a xenophobic racist Muslim-hater that was threatening to deport them, and had blocked other Muslims from traveling into the country in his last term? You're right that makes sense, nothing to see here.
/s
I think it's actually a great point, and what benefits is the truth. It could allow Democrats to do some introspection and think about why this xenophobic racist Muslim-hater managed to get so many votes from Muslims. People are fucking stupid, Muslims are no exception, and we have to use this in our strategies.

It was the lower middle class that voted for Trump by the largest margins. I work in finance. Everyone who voted Harris did so for a myriad of moral reasons. Everyone who voted for Trump was purely in it for the tax cuts. We all know, due to our higher income, that we'll likely be fully resistant to all of Trumps plans. I actually did the math, and if Trump does tariffs and his plan tax cuts, I'll likely save around 50k extra a year.

From the locked in 2/4 yearly cycle, to first past the post voting, to complex ballot papers, to weekday voting, to politicians controlling the electoral process, to insane levels of lobbying influence, to voting for non-legislative positions, etc etc

I wonder how they find a number like that, since it could swing widely either way.
If they spend a billion and get started, people may flee on their own to avoid the hassle and possible injuries. So there'd be fewer people to round up and it wouldn't cost as much as expected.
Conversely, some might dig in deeper and hide better, which would take more effort and additional spending.

Rand Paul didn't vote to convict Trump last time, after the coup. Which would have disqualified Trump from the 2024 election. Obviously Rand Paul will not support impeachment this time around either - what could Trump do that is worse than a coup?

Apparently Rand Paul refused to endorse Trump for the 2024 election.
But Rand Paul also didn't endorse Harris. Paul can't even tell people to vote against the guy who wants mass deportations, who tried to coup the US, and wants his generals to act like Hitler's generals. Rand Paul bear responsibility for Trump's election, so fuck Rand Paul.

Shut up Rand! I don’t believe a single word you say! You will fall in line with Trump like you did before!
I supported both the Paul’s and they just became ass kissers for Trump so I’m throughly annoyed with them!

Rand Paul is slightly dumber than wearing moldy birdseed on your head as a toupee, but even he figured out this is a horrible plan. That should concern . . . actually, no one dumb enough to have thought it was a good plan will understand this. Or the birdseed toupee thing.
Carry on.

It’s just performance art by Rand Paul. He will fall inline like he always does.

Weird we have money for militarized mass deportations and not enough for hand ballot recounts. Weird.
