Trump made big gains with Muslims, jumping from 15% in 2016 to 35% in 2020.
One big reason is that compared to 4 years ago Republicans have been pretty quiet about Islam this year. It’s possible that the further we get from the War on Terror mindset the more Muslims may move back into the GOP, which they only fled in 2003.
No need to speculate though. Lots of Muslims on my FB page explaining why they voted Trump: facebook.com/82595329077918…
"that's just the exit polls!" except the in-depth survey done by @TheISPU this past year put the number of Trump-supporting Muslims at 30% ispu.org/american-musli…

In my experience, conservatives can usually describe what liberals believe in a way that liberals would accept. Liberals, on the other hand, have absolutely no idea why anyone would be conservative besides being evil. This is why liberals exist in a state of chronic surprise.
The ability to make a positive case for your opponents is important for many reasons. The first is that you will never be able to persuade others unless you know what makes them tick. Calling Hispanics who voted for Trump self-loathing won’t cut it.
The second reason is more spiritual. People do not actually desire evil. Even the worst people desire the good but do so in a way that is misinformed or disordered. It’s always possible to describe their beliefs and goals in positive terms.

No matter what happens today just remember that God is in control and he can always make things worse.
You: Hurray! My candidate won!

God: I want you to build a giant ark.
Me: Things are looking up!

God to Satan: Have you considered my servant Jeremy?

Update: The man who shot the Orthodox priest in France yesterday was *not* Muslim. He was another Orthodox priest. Dispute was personal. leparisien.fr/faits-divers/p…
Fun Fact: The alleged shooter was also a member of a far-right party. So either the reports of him yelling “Allahu Akbar” were bullshit or he just got confused and thought he was Muslim for a second. Image
The truth never stops our esteemed betters from escalating tensions by declaring this an example of a war on Christians

Unpopular Opinion: Conservatives shouldn’t hold Barrett up as an example of how anyone can raise 7 kids and have a wildly successful career. Women who can do that are obviously exceptional, which is fine because you want exceptional people on the Supreme Court.
I understand the impulse to point to her and be like “See? There’s no reason to have an abortion!” But for most people (who either aren’t rich or don’t have extended family to help) raising kids does cause your career to suffer. But it’s worth it!
What we should be doing is identifying all the (non-genetic) reasons Barrett was able to raise 7 kids and make sure that’s true of every woman. This may even involve (gasp) government assistance.
