(1,546 posts)I have a buddy who has very strong ties to Dearborn, Michigan. This is a community that flipped strongly in favor of Trump after being reliably (around 95% maybe?) Democratic in every election before. He knew his community well, how they were feeling about Harris becaue of the Plaestinian and Lebanese conflict (which seemed intentionally started specifically to peel away that key voting groups from Harris). He told me for months before the election that unless Harris came out in favor of Palestine, she would lose Michigan. I didnt believe him, but once the election came around everything he said came together like clockwork in its logic. But the thing, Arab Americans weren't the only ones who were turned off because of the Israel issue, and I still believe to this day that one issue flipped the entire election.
