Rules:

The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

Somali-American leaders in Minnesota encouraged their constituents to vote for Trump because “he won’t abandon us like the left did”. Trump just restricted nationals from Somalia from entering the US (media.upilink.in)

In my country, it's called "voting for the fox because the rooster is crowing out of tune".

That’s a nice emotional support cop out.

It’s not racist to say “we told you this kind of shit would happen”. Some people just have trouble accepting the outcomes of their actions. To be a minority and vote for a white republican over a black-Indian democrat means ignoring numerous warnings from white liberals who were raised by racist republicans. Why tf should I have sympathy for people who voted for a DEI purge?

Once again the only group of which the majority voted for Trump is white people.

Nobody is claiming otherwise.

Fact remains that many Black and Hispanic people voted for Trump, and his support among those demographics apparently increased this last time as well. It’s also a fact that happened when the other choice was a black woman. Machismo, and just being gullible at the end of the day.

The OP posted another article with the title claiming that the majority of Muslims from Michigan voted for Trump. He is pushing misinformation.
