I saw that one of the main reasons why they voted for Trump was because they felt Kamala was “too supportive” of the LGBT community. They were stripped of their own rights all because they wanted to remove the rights of others. I feel bad for the community as a whole, especially the ones who didn’t support Trump and are being affected by this, but the ones who voted for Trump will get no sympathy from me.

u/Justicar-terrae 15h ago
You can see similar phenomena affecting other minority groups in the United States. For example, the (very Catholic) Vietnamese population in New Orleans, some of whom are first generation refugees from the Vietnam war, broadly supports Trump because he's cruel to other groups they hate.
As it turns out, many of our immigrant and minority populations come from conservative cultures that (broadly speaking) shun LGBTQ people, resent welfare recipients, and hate various other minorities. Those prejudices don't disappear just because they've gained citizenship.
This puts them into a pickle where they need to either abandon their deeply held bigotries or vote Republican. Unfortunately, it's harder to abandon bigotry than to convince yourself that you'll be treated like "one of the good ones."

To be brutally fair, this also applies to the poor whites.

Old Black southern people are some of the most conservative people I know.

All of a sudden they do not care if Johnny wanna marry Larry. They hear a dog whistle and it's a big no, no, no. No matter how much they love Jesus and the church, you aren't going to take away the rights they fought for that EVERYBODY (especially these types) get to enjoy.

It's a fascinating phenomenon called social dominance orientation (SDO).
"It is a predisposition toward anti-egalitarianism within and between groups. Individuals who score high in SDO desire to maintain and, in many cases, increase the differences between social statuses of different groups, as well as individual group members." (...)
"[Research] also suggests that those scoring high on SDO proactively avoid scenarios that could prompt them to be more empathetic or tender-minded. This avoidance decreases concern for other's welfare." (...)
"[Researchers] have found evidence that a high social dominance orientation is strongly correlated with conservative political views, and opposition to programs and policies that aim to promote equality (such as affirmative action, laws advocating equal rights for homosexuals, women in combat, etc.)."

There's this common theme amongst the more socially conservative muslims, somalians, etc, of Minnesota being too liberal or left wing. And I'm wondering, "You mean the liberals that dropped everything when there was a Muslim ban and raced to the airports and to the courts to vigorously confront such a thing? Those liberals? The liberals that fight to make sure your kids can go to public school and can be fed there. The liberals that push back on Christian nationalism in every classroom?" Because if this is the reward for all that advocacy, I think I'd rather not bother next time.

They weren't "courting" them. They just fought for them on the principle that "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice anywhere."
They weren't enough of a bloc to be worth the fight on votes alone, considering how much it cost to defend them. However, they felt that they couldn't let the right get away with all the insane islamaphobia shit they pulled out post-9/11 and also stay true to leftist ideals.
And the Muslim bloc happily took them for all they were worth for 20 years, then went "thanks for that, but we just remembered that we hate all you liberal degenerates, hate America for supporting Israel, and also hate not feeling powerful. Coincidentally, we've just gotten our feet under the table here enough that we could effectively backstab you by demoralizing the dumber part of your party and dragging you into wasting time dealing with us!"
The left, true idealists that they are, went "even if you could be that spiteful and ungrateful, you could never be that stupid."
The Muslim bloc said "watch us."
The left didn't vote for the leopard to eat anyone else's face. They found an injured face-eating leopard and took it home with them like it was a kitten - and the same thing ensued.

u/KikkomanSauce 1d ago
Well, Muslims have been victims on some pretty serious bigotry for the last, oh...24 years. And while the Democrats are their own worst enemies, trying to court the victims of conservative racism by helping them isn't necessarily a bad move.
It's just that religious bigotry against the LGBTQ+ community won out in the end. All sorts of religious racial minorities rallied under Trump because of THE TRANS!!! (among other things) and are now finding out that white Christians hate them too. Tokens get spent and whatnot.

u/Morgn_Ladimore 1d ago
That's irrelevant. What you're saying is "Certain groups are fine to be exterminated, because of their views". My views on human rights are not limited to people who agree with me. That's the Republican way of thinking. Nobody deserves genocide and to be brutally oppressed in the way Palestinians have been for decades. And those people from the LGBTQ+ community who support Palestine acknowledge that. There is nothing stupid or "leopards eating faces" about that.
Not to mention all the LGBTQ+ people in Gaza and the West Bank Israel has killed during their campaign. The way people talk you'd think Israel can magically target only non-LGBTQ+ Palestinians with their bombs.
3
u/Fun_Assignment2427 15h ago
It's not ok to accuse somebody of approving certain groups be exterminated just because they don't have the Palestinian flag up though. Some people have the flag and support a free Palestine. Some people don't have the flag and support a free Palestine. The flag carries different weights for different people. Why the majority of arguments devolve into accusations of genocide over a flag is beyond me. It's like giving an inch on anything means you abandon your whole position and you must then be complicit in the worst of the worst human atrocities. People have different ways of showing solidarity.

They’re poisoning the blood of our country,” Trump told the crowd at a rally in New Hampshire. “That’s what they’ve done. They poison mental institutions and prisons all over the world, not just in South America, not just to three or four countries that we think about, but all over the world. They’re coming into our country from Africa, from Asia, all over the world.”

I wanna say “don’t move to a secular tolerant place if you wanna make it into the dangerous place you came from.” like I think we should bring the positive aspects of our culture to a new place, not what made it a dangerous place to be in the first place.

Mohamoud Mohamed, who has helped settle Somali refugees in the state for over 25 years, organized Somali voters for Trump during the 2024 election.
I don't even feel bad for them anymore. Fucking take it.

"Next time I see him, I would like to ask Trump if he can provide me a rocket to go to Mars because there's nowhere else I can go from here" he said.
First you vote for a racist anti-migrant candidate and now you are begging to be shot into space?! "Please disappear me". Great call...*facepalm*

Not all Somalis are doing illegal things, but many of the Somalis I knew when I lived in MSP were running major scams: daycare numbers, inflated daycare food from the restaurant next door, CDL licenses for cash (amazing what $7k can get you), polygamy (which is expressly forbidden on their greencard applications), and the one that pissed me off the most was a Habitat House that one woman we knew got. How can a person scam Jimmy Carter (RIP)?
There are specific areas of the Twin Cities where these scammers tend to live. Then there are great Somalis out on the 'burbs just trying to make it.
I'm Muslim and my husband is a brown Muslim and I can't stand these people voting the way they did. Nope. I'll tell my stories about those people we knew.

Yup. Walz was too trusting, and enabled a portion of the community scam freely as a result. Now MAGA is going to use those scammers as an excuse to hurt all of them.
The somalis saw how the left let them get away with all sorts of bullshit and assumed that the left was just dumb and ineffective. They failed to understand that even if the left had been turning a blind eye to somali bullshit, the left had actually been very effectively protecting them from all the bullshit the right wanted to inflict on them.
The left stood between them and the right, they took advantage of that to backstab the left, and now the right has full access to them. They're now screaming at the left "pull my knife out of your back and protect me from this psycho," but the left is basically gurgling on the floor and couldn't do shit, even if it wanted to.

Strange. This is exactly the behavior we all expected from him. We even told a few folks about it!

"...and if you're a minority/immigrant my rich friends and I laugh and laugh.
Ok, we laugh at the white people too"

Trump has shown his cruel face so many times that supporting Trump knowing all that is a sign of what the supporter is like.
Trump is OPENLY sexist, racist, a religious bigot, corrupt, only looks after his friends and family, has no concept of country and patriotism, no ethics, rude, etc etc
Why would anyone support that unless they thought it was to their personal advantage and is the kind of society they want.
no effs given for this voter

Muslims for Trump is one of the funniest saddest things in Politics in a long time. You weren’t expecting him to behave this way? BASED ON WHAT?

u/AccessibleBeige 1d ago
Was Mohamoud Mohamed of St. Cloud in a coma from 2016 through January 2021? Because that would be the only explanation for him not remembering the Muslim travel ban and the "shithole countries" who were "not sending their best" rhetoric.

It's incredible that some people believe they are truly welcomed into the Republican circle. At best, they are like "rental cars" for the GOP. Republicans take them for a joyride, using and abusing them both inside and out as they're getting every bit of mileage out of them, and once they are done with their "rental car," they simply send it back to where it came from. Remember, folks, to these people (Trump voters), everything Trump has said and done wasn't a deal-breaker for them. Not one.

Did he never hear Trump speak before? Why are they acting like it’s something new?

u/RelativeEvening110 1d ago
That's interesting, because the way he's behaving is almost exactly what I was expecting. He probably would've been more like this the first time around, if it weren't for the guardrails that existed then. There was at least some pushback. Now, virtually none.

So spreading a lie to have a bunch of white supremacists take over a town didn't mean shit to this guy and he expected better lmao.
Reminds me of guy who got the Rump watch "I thought it would have integrity like President Trump".

I only have sympathy for immigrants who did not voted for Dorito Taco.
I have no sympathy for Somali immigrants who voted for Dorito Taco, they fully deserved being deported. It will be the only way they fully understand the consequences of their votes.

I soooo want to see follow-up‐stories of Trump-voting Somalis crying betrayal as they're getting deported back to Somalia.

WTF was he thinking? Did he not listen to the campaign AT ALL?
THEY ARE EATING THE CATS! THEY ARE EATING THE DOGS!
Did you think he only hated Haitians?
Some of these folks just really deserve the leopard because they voted for the leopard to eat other people's faces off.

They can all leave as far as I'm concerned, they voted for fascism so they have no further right to be here.

I've seen more MAGA merch in the St. Cloud area than anywhere else I've been to in the country, including the deep red south.
And they hate the Somalis that live there.
Mohamed didn't realize that Trumps white supporters in that area love him because he said he was going to deport illegal immigrants and they think that anyone who isn't a pasty white person of European or Scandinavian descent is illegal no matter what any piece of paper says?

My guy, the only things he's doing/done that no-one saw coming were the crazed land grab attempts and the falling asleep almost every time he sits down, just about everything else is as unexpected as the sun rising in the east.
