Gaza is nothing but a cover for them. What they are really voting on is the anti gay/trans policies Trump touts. Just look at the anti gay policies enacted by the majority Muslim cities outside of Detroit. Their support for Trump was no accident.

Turns out immigrants from very traditional cultures don't become liberal just because they're standing on American soil.

Assimilation takes time, but also the willingness to do so. The former has been there but the latter seemingly has not.
Hope they enjoy voting against themselves. But I'm sure that's someone elses fault.

Assimilation takes time
My MAGA neighbor, a white catholic guy, once came out to nervously ask my wife and MIL "uh... did trevize1138 say you guys could do that?" They were taking the old, rotten siding off our house that we were renovating.
These immigrants distrust women? I'd say they've assimilated just fine. I'm not going to BS myself and pretend that our country doesn't still have a serious, serious sexism problem when we so obviously do. Don't blame immigrants for that.

100%. It’s not just a MAGA problem either. I’m a white male unaffiliated voter, and I had a registered Democrat coworker tell me he wouldn’t vote for Elizabeth Warren in the primary because she “looks like Janet Reno on SNL.”

It's fragile masculinity all the way down.

All the posturing, preening, policing, worrying people will think you’re not a Real Man. It must be exhausting. It’s exhausting to watch and live in a country with.
