In Michigan, the accusation of hate failed to buy the Senate seat, but the currency itself still circulates. “Hate” will outlive the ballot. It is the keyword of American politics around Muslim candidates, Arabs and Palestine. In practice, its working opposite was not “love”, as Sayed claimed. It was unity.

Democrats staged unity events, and Sayed called former Vice President Kamala Harris’s visit a matter of unity, standing with a leader of the administration that armed Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Former President Barack Obama, whose drone wars killed Muslims from Pakistan to Yemen, came too.

    Truly, that’s their favorite tactic (projection), and their base is too stupified with fear, doom, hate, etc. to know they’re still being played. (Also, the intention of their puppeteers.) 🤢🤕
