The Progressive Coalition Starts to Unravel

Hamtramck, Michigan is a majority Muslim city near Detroit.  When the city government became majority Muslim  in 2016 the liberal white population there cheered.  But things haven’t gone as well as the white residence had hoped.  Recently the city council voted the banning of pride flags from city property and the liberal minority feels betrayed.

Well, welcome to planet Earth where Muslims aren’t big fans of the rainbow coalition taking too big an interest in their children.

“There’s a sense of betrayal,” said the former Hamtramck mayor Karen Majewski, who is Polish American. “We supported you when you were threatened, and now our rights are threatened, and you’re the one doing the threatening.

After several years of diversity on the council, some see irony in an all-male, Muslim elected government that does not reflect the city’s makeup.

Their talking points mirror those made elsewhere: some Hamtramck Muslims say they simply want to protect children, and gay people should “keep it in their home”.”

This mirrors similar fault lines that show up between Latinos and the various cohorts of the queer coalition.

In several Islamic nations they defenestrate the alphabet people.

Deluded wishful thinking. Remember, whatever liberals “manifest” is true.

I didn’t know the Muslims used the windows, I thought they used roof tops. Impact velocity is a little higher and nothing to hang on to on the way out.

Karen, you showed weakness by letting invaders take over your city. Do not expect the invaders to show you the same weakness.
They won. You lost.
You surrendered, but you still lost.
They are now in charge and will make the rules as they see fit.
Your “Liberal ideals” mean nothing to them.
Get used to being Dhimmi.
