They saw the Trump government do the same + Trump recognizing Jerusalem as the sole capital of Israel as well. Not to mention Trump is extremely pro Israel too.

Of course, I never underestimate the stupidity of American right wing voters, so yeah I wouldn't be surprised if Michigan turns red too.

They aren't voting for Trump, though. The Muslim-American voterbase is largely moving to Jill Stein, Cornel West, and Claudia De La Crúz. It isn't due to stupidity, it's because they won't vote for genocide of Muslims, many of whom have family in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, etc. The Democrats refusing to acknowledge this could legitimately cost Harris the election.

Those people ARE a vote for trump. This is critical to understand.

They aren't, less than 10% of Muslim-Americans are voting for Trump.

Voting for a 3rd party candidate in the presidential election, especially this one, when they’ve all but disappeared until it was time ago start running again is a dictionary definition of “due to stupidity”.

This is just veiled racism, Muslim-Americans are majority polling in favor of third parties, while non-Muslim Americans are not. Rather than believing it's due to not wanting to support genocide, you take the "Muslim-Americans are stupid" route.

No it's simple game theory for first past the post. You're not very smart are you?

When someone responds to the majority of Muslim-Americans voting for Stein, Claudia De La Crúz, etc, with "they're stupid," when other groups are more in favor of Harris, this is racism. Plain and simple. The actual answer is a refusal to vote for genocide of Muslims globally, many Muslim-Americans have friends or relatives in Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, or Iran, which Israel is targeting. Thinking that it's because Muslim-Americans are stupid is racist.
