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.

Summary

Key leaders of the “Abandon Harris” movement, which encouraged voters to oppose Kamala Harris due to U.S. support for Israel during the Gaza war, are now expressing unease about Trump’s incoming administration.

Many in the movement, including prominent Muslim leaders, voted for Trump hoping he would bring peace to the Middle East.

However, concerns are growing over his Cabinet picks, such as Mike Huckabee and Tulsi Gabbard, which some see as troubling for Muslim communities.

Yep.

The media was in on it in hopes that they could get so much ad revenue for farming dissent over every single thing that Trump says as he dementia blathers and bungles his way around the White House.

The wealthy are in on it in hopes that since Trump is a grifter, there is a good chance that they can be in on the grift and let Trump take all the blame for their actions well they pocket the money and run.

Kamala being president would have been a stable time in America and nothing is worse for grift and skeezy bullshit than political stability.

I wouldn't consider the previous four years under Biden as a stable time in America (compared to the late 90s for example), but yeah, would have been more stable than the first Trump term. I don't think Harris winning would have changed much of the vibe under Biden, as long as Congress is pretty much an even split and and the majority of the Supreme Court justices are utterly corrupt.
