It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I think after the polling came out that Biden lost the Muslim vote, and to them that automatically means Muslims support Trump for some reason, it’s definitely their subconscious desire.
They don’t like Trump, but they still want minorities who are disillusioned to ‘get what they voted for’ for not choosing Biden.
And if that means they get deported 🤷 win stupid prizes. I voted for Konos.
American Muslims used to be one of the most solidly Republican voting demographics. I'm not sure of the exact reason why.
But that entirely flipped after 9/11 and now the Democrats can't help themselves either with how much they hate Palestinians.
American Cold War policies towards the ME was pushing for Islamist theocracies as a bulwark against evil Bolshevik atheism. So nominally, the US had to be friendly towards Arabs, though Israel was constantly throwing a wrench in those plans.
Perhaps these nominally friendly relationships resulted in American Muslims being pro republican? I know that Carter, a democrat, started the Middle East policies, but I don’t remember if it was known publicly during his time.
It’s also possible that it’s more general. Conservatives took a hard line stance against anything left of their hand, which means they were constantly portraying democrats as godless hippies who wanted to destroy the family and god.
Democrat voting liberals have a sense of entitlement toward minorities, they believe that because the Democrats (pretend to) care about minorities, not only do the Democrats deserve the votes of minorities but are entitled to them. They wont admit it, mostly because they aren't self-aware of it, it's mostly subconscious as you said, but it's definitely there and as the Democrats slowly drop the mask it become more apparent.
Right now they say stuff one step removed from "How DARE you not vote for the democrats you filthy minority, you should be thankful our grand and generous party even pay attention to you, you lowly minority should know your place and continue to vote for them already, you are nothing without the Democrats. If you refuse, then you deserve whatever the Republicans will do to you!"
When Biden loses they will say stuff one step removed from "So? How do you like what Trump is doing? I hope you learned your lesson and will vote Democrat next time. Your vote belong to the Democrats and saying otherwise make you a filth worthy of deportation."
I can already imagine clueless spineless libs dunking on minorities, saying that whatever will happen in the next Republican term is their fault because they dared be disillusioned by the unfulfilled promises and criminal actions of Biden and decided against voting blue.
