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.
What does that even mean?
It means they understand sweet FA about American politics and wish to lecture us on American politics.
Harris’s campaign sucked even in the eyes of me, a non-American who doesn’t keep up with the nitty gritty of American politics. She had a massive headstart (remember the first while after her nomination? She was basically a messiah for democrats) and managed to lose it with her wishy washy attitude and right wing policies.
In another thread you were commenting how much you liked that Shitface won, and now you want people to convince that you don’t care about US politics but hoped Harris would’ve been a better candidate, without ever saying anything specific?
I gave their profile a cursory look, but I couldn’t find this in the few handfuls of posts I looked at. Do you have a link to a comment or two showing this, maybe I missed it?

Can you not put words in my mouth? I’m hoping for some sweet karma against Harris for messing up the Democrat campaign so hard and causing four more years of Trump.
Blaming Harris for that is just idiotic and I don’t believe you arguing in good faith when you say this shit.
I mean believe whatever you want then I guess. If you can’t believe that her promise to build a border wall didn’t sit well with democrat voters, that’s on you.
And what do you think Trump is going to do? Enjoy your concentration camps & fascism while the world freefalls into a climate collapse.
Since I responded to your other claim earlier, here I’ll just say this:
I never said I didn’t care about US politics. I said I don’t keep up with the nitty gritty, meaning the details of the policies being discussed. For example, I knew that Harris was adopting a right wing stance on immigration, but only today found out she had promised to build a border wall.
Like what?
Completely adopting the right-wing framing on immigration. Ended up running in favor of the most right-wing and damaging immigration bill. (She adopted it because Trump rejected the bill because he wanted to run on it.)
Signing on to continue Trump’s stupid border wall.
Adopting a policy on Gaza that was as favorable to Israel as any official policy of the Republicans.
Not challenging state-level laws against trans people, largely taking a state’s right position on the matter.
Seeking out and running on endorsements from Dick Cheney and other prominent Republicans.
Embracing fracking when fracking isn’t even supported by a majority of Pennsylvanians.
Completely abandoning medicare for all, not even making the public option a major part of her campaign.
