Michigan: Democrats stupefied that the Muslim community they hailed rejects display of gay pride flags
American Thinker ^ | 06/18/2023 | Monica Showalter

Democrats have always demonstrated a sense of "ownership" of certain communities of color.

So when the 28,000-strong Muslim-majority city of Hamtramck, Michigan passed an ordinance declining to wave gay pride flags from city buildings, they couldn't believe their eyes.

According to The Guardian:

In 2015, many liberal residents in Hamtramck, Michigan, celebrated as their city attracted international attention for becoming the first in the United States to elect a Muslim-majority city council.

They viewed the power shift and diversity as a symbolic but meaningful rebuke of the Islamophobic rhetoric that was a central theme of then Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign.

This week many of those same residents watched in dismay as a now fully Muslim and socially conservative city council passed legislation banning Pride flags from being flown on city property that had – like many others being flown around the country – been intended to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community.

Muslim residents packing city hall erupted in cheers after the council’s unanimous vote, and on Hamtramck’s social media pages, the taunting has been relentless: “Fagless City”, read one post, emphasized with emojis of a bicep flexing.

For anyone who knows anything about what Muslims of a certain stripe believe over the past 20 years, or who can pick up a newspaper and read about, say, Iran, the result is about what one can expect. 

But this doesn't include leftist Democrats, whose whimpers could be heard for miles around:

“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.”

Wait till they hear what these same Muslims think about women.

Hey Karen Majewski, did you hear the Polish joke about the stupid former mayor of Hamtramck, Michigan?

Muslims will always put their faith ahead of country and political party. RATs keep pushing the LGBTQ agenda into all of our faces and now they’re getting pushback they were not expecting!

Remarkable that so much stupidity and untruth could be packed into one sentence.

Anyone who doubts that liberalism is a mental disorder should read Majewski's statement closely.

I’d shut up, Karen, before they decide to take you on a ride down to Detroit and chuck you off the Book Cadillac Hotel.

The sheer audacity and arrogance of American Demonrat leftists in that you can import an ideology as the Mohammadans are and believe you can “control” them.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer: Tell the morons to get back onto the Democrat plantation. Now.

It's amazing to me how stupid liberals are. They research nothing. They study nothing. Everybody with more than 2 functioning IQ points (which leaves liberals out) knows that ragheads murder fags.

Even the most rudimentary google search shows it. Of course ragheads are going to stop this "pride" idiocy. Stupid liberals.

Hey, for 22 years we’ve had leftist idiots (including President Shrub) telling us how Mohammadans don’t really believe in Mohammadanism. It’s the religion of peace (and love).

Liberals: “The Mohammedans are largely Africans so they should be as stupid and easy to control as our current slaves.”

The Left uses people and expects them to vote Dem again. Or they’re in trouble.

The 1930s-1950s Communist Party USA used black people like the singers Leadbelly and Paul Robeson to attract the mythical downtrodden black workers who had no chance in capitalist America.

Dr.Ben Carson and Justice Clarence Thomas are examples of the thrashing taken by the Left if the “favor” of accepting them as valuable by the Left is not repaid in full.

Arrogant Dems aren’t used to people like Muslims rejecting any portion of the agenda.

Yep. Slaves escaping from the Democrat plantation. Where is the Dred Scott decision when you need it?

Seeing Hispanics flee the Demonrats and Mohammadans (at least on anti-Sodomite issues), too, watch for the Demonrats to try to “limit” their migration to America when they no longer serve them. Sodomites and Trannies are now at the top of the political food chain (i.e. top victim group). Mohammadans and Blacks are further down.

Take a read through this.

“But this doesn’t include leftist Democrats, whose whimpers could be heard for miles around:

“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.””

Karen, aptly named, is a true-believer. She is having her mind changed in real time.

She is still true believer. Just betrayed.
