Summary

Key leaders of the “Abandon Harris” movement, which encouraged voters to oppose Kamala Harris due to U.S. support for Israel during the Gaza war, are now expressing unease about Trump’s incoming administration.

Many in the movement, including prominent Muslim leaders, voted for Trump hoping he would bring peace to the Middle East.

However, concerns are growing over his Cabinet picks, such as Mike Huckabee and Tulsi Gabbard, which some see as troubling for Muslim communities.

      Mainly because they are members of the class of people that will benefit, directly and indirectly, from a Trump presidency.

      Knowing this, they aren’t stupid for voting for the person who will enable the gross accumulation of wealth through the systematic deregulation of industries and privatization of government services. There’s one group of people who will benefit from this: the wealthy (who are disproportionately white and male).

      The idiots are people who voted for Trump thinking that his administration will result in a net positive for them socially and economically.

      Voting against your interests is dumb; voting inline with your interests is not.

        The only white males that will benefit from a trump presidency are billionaires. Anyone else isn’t voting inline with their best interests
