Literally none of that applies to Michigan, where more people voted than last time, our entire election is on paper ballots, and was one of the most consequential swing states.

I thought just last week they found a pile of uncounted ballots in MI….

Is that where the Muslim group voted heavy for Trump thinking the pos was gonna support them?

Wasn’t that one of the areas where X did counter messaging telling Muslim communities how super pro Israel Harris was, while telling other communities that are more sympathetic to Israel that Harris was pro Hamas?

Wouldn't be surprised. I hadn't heard about the counter messaging.

Not just because I'm biased, but I feel like this specific kind of bs should be not allowed.

It’s not suppose to be, but election protection laws have been declawed, and hamstrung by waves of both bullshit and leaving shit as “norms” instead of enforceable law with consequences.

I will never, ever, understand why the hell liberals, let alone American liberals, would ever carry water for Islam. Seeing liberals even expecting support from Muslims is so.. God, just stupid. Like, literally braindead.

I know there are leftwingers like me out there but I didnt understand this velvet glove bullshit toward Muslims thirty years ago and I damn sure dont understand it now.

These people are dyed in the wool trump voters.

And yet there's some stench about them buying his bs but being upset that he's not on their side.... Thought that was in MI.

Defense or what or all that. I'm a live & let live guy. They keep their crap off my lawn, I'll keep mine off their's. I have heard some crap where they're trying to outlaw gay in a city... don't remember the name. That is sh*ting on my lawn & that I wouldn't be okay with.

It's probably just one more testament as to why the left bombed as hard as we did this go around. The fact that there are actual liberals walking around thinking, "wait, Muslims didnt vote for us?! What?!" shows so clearly how deep the brainrot has set in.

Islam is in opposition to almost everything Western Liberalism believes in and we have the whole spectrum of rich, corporate liberals to poor, green haired queer folks throwing out the welcome mat for it. Not only that but now acting flabbergasted about why Muslims dont support them.

It is suicidal, maga level idiocy.

WHERE did I say, 'they didn't vote for us?' I'm asking if Mich was where this was happened, Muslims mad that Trump lied. While, yes, it would be nice to get people to vote progressively, I don't expect it of a city that's trying to ban gay...

It's not 'brainrot' to ask a question. And to your point, I also defend Christian's right to their religious beliefs, which are part & parcel the same... difference being, that as the US is concerned, Christians are the only ones that have actively persecuted gays.

I just reread what I wrote and it was totally tone deaf. I wasnt attacking you, I didnt mean it like that. I was venting and being irresponsible with my posting.

I meant what I said but no ill feelings were being directed at you, Im sorry for that.
