Dearborn Residents Show Remorse After Trump Win: 'He's Playing Us'

In the wake of Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 election, residents of Dearborn, Michigan, are voicing their regret and frustration, with many expressing feelings of being misled.

Dearborn is home to one of the largest concentrations of Arab Americans in the nation, with nearly half of its 110,000 residents being of Arab descent. The city has traditionally been a Democratic stronghold, but this year that all changed.

Trump broke the GOP losing streak in the city, winning 47 percent of the vote to Kamala Harris' 28 percent, according to unofficial results from the city clerk, reported by NBC. That means Harris received less than half of the Dearborn voters Joe Biden received in 2020.

Meanwhile, Green Party candidate Jill Stein, who chose a Muslim American running mate and put Israel's war with Hamas at the center of her campaign, won 22 percent of the vote, according to a projection from NBC.

After the shocking election result, Arab American voters are reeling. But they are also frustrated by the Democrats' unwavering support for the Israelis in the latest war between Israel and Hamas.

Newsweek has contacted the Trump transition team and the Harris campaign for comment via email.

"All she had to do was stop the war in Lebanon and Gaza and she would receive everyone's votes here," Dearborn Councilmember Mustapha Hammoud told The Associated Press.

"When I think of Democrats, I don't think of people like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris," Layla Elabed, a leader in Dearborn's anti-war movement and the sister of Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib, told Slate. "You can't claim to represent the values of your base and then ignore them. You're not going to win—and that's exactly what happened."

In an interview with Politico, Michael Sareini, Dearborn city council president, added that many Arab American residents in Dearborn "feel like they've been redeemed."

"They wanted to send a message and they did. This stance on endless wars and killing of innocent women and children has got to end," he said.

 

 

Voting for a President, who promised a Muslim travel ban in 2016, and supports Israel to the point of "finishing the job" against the Palestinians? nobody is going to ever accuse Arab voters of being the most intelligent people lol.

He didn't play the Muslims, he did not change any position. They looked at the candidates and thought Trump could get the war over faster. They gave blind allegiance to the Democrats for years and the second the Democrats were supposed to take their side they didn't.

Sounds like they voted for Stein.

[ironstone]

Wouldn't these muslims in Michigan be the same one's that were chanting 'death to Israel' and 'death to America'?

Trump will get the war over faster. That is almost a certainty. He will either let Israel "finish the job," or he will make a deal with Egypt or another Arab country to "resettle" all the Palestinians outside of the Occupied Territories, and turn Gaza into beachfront resorts for wealthy Jews and Americans.

 

It's not exactly what the Dearborn residents wanted, but Trump will live up to his promise, and end the war faster.

No one wants the Palestinians because they cause problems wherever they go. Israel tried to give the West Bank and Gaza away and no one would take it.

They are not these innocent little angels that you make them out to be.

I agree in regards to the Palestinians, but Israel never tried to give the West Bank away. It's too significant to religious Jews.  The Jews care too much about Judea and Samaria to ever relinquish it.

No one said that muslims are known for their intelligence. 

I honestly couldn't believe it when they started saying: "We hate it when the dems pander to us!!! We're going to switch our vote to the party of common sense!"

What part of that post shows that people are upset with Trump? 

What did Trump already do that has "muslim voters reeling"?

On the surface, and even upon scouring your post for anything that supports the thread title, your thread seems pretty stupid.

...to the party who will help exterminate our people!"

Arab Americans voting for Trump in 2024, is somewhat like Jews voting for Hitler in 1938. 

We both know how it will end.

You're LYING. The Jewish settlers are very busy stealing the West Bank land.

That's where the IDF was when HAMAS invaded Israel, helping the settlers steal the West Bank land.

I'm going to doubt that. You are telling me that Muslims voted agains Kamala because she wasn't tough enough on Israel and did vote for Trump who fully supported the "genocide" (their words, not mine)? But Jill Stein was fully anti Israel and they didn't vote for her?

I'm not buying it.
