Summary

Trump won Dearborn and made significant gains in Hamtramck due to anger among Arab American and Muslim communities over deaths in Gaza, Lebanon, and Yemen.

Trump received 42.48% of the vote in Dearborn and 42.7% in Hamtramck, compared to 36.26% and 46.2% for Vice President Kamala Harris, respectively.

Despite Trump’s victory in Dearborn, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senator lost to the Democratic nominee.

    Well now you’ve handed Gaza to the butcher and good luck if you want to protest without getting arrested.

      If every single Jill Stein voter had voted for Harris instead, Trump still would have won.

        They’re complete fucking idiots throwing away their vote . . . but at least they went to the trouble of voting?

          Voting is always better than not voting, yes.

          And in a functional democratic system, voting for a candidate who’s against genocide would be better than voting for a candidate who’s currently part of the government supplying the genociders.

          Sadly, the US aren’t such a system.

      To be fair protesters were already being injured and arrested. I know we’re all still hurting at the election loss but let’s not kid ourselves with the current administration either.
