This hits hard—and it needs to. Because what’s happening in Michigan is not some policy debate in a D.C. think tank—it’s a five-alarm fire in the lives of working families. Trump’s brand of “leadership” is a Molotov cocktail of cruelty, chaos, and cartel politics, and Michigan’s been used as both the testing ground and the target.

You nailed the stakes: this isn’t governance—it’s sabotage in a suit. Trump and his billionaire cronies like Musk aren’t failing to fix the system; they’re weaponizing it. Tariffs, deportations, and gutting of research labs? That’s not economic strategy—that’s systemic vandalism.

But here’s what’s *most* important: you highlighted hope *with credibility.* Dr. Abdul El-Sayed isn’t just throwing slogans around—he’s walking in with a track record, a diagnosis, and a treatment plan. And unlike the hollow strongmen in MAGA cosplay, he actually *shows up* for the people he's asking to represent. Free eyeglasses for kids. Expanded health access. A politics grounded in dignity, not division.

One thing that deserves louder emphasis? **Trump’s normalized inhumanity.** Mass deportations without due process. Targeting of legal immigrants. Extermination camps. These are not policy excesses—these are human rights violations, and we must name them as such. It’s not just Michigan on the line. It’s the moral spine of the nation.

Also worth underscoring: **the silence from so-called moderates.** Where are the non-MAGA Republicans? Where are the corporate Dems? Abdul is filling a vacuum they helped create. That should shake them.

This is the kind of storytelling we need more of—clear, moral, and unflinching. It’s not just informative. It’s a call to conscience.

Subscribed. Shared. And standing with Michigan.

Didn’t many within the Muslim community vote for 47?

Many in many communities. No rhyme no reason. But those with courage, humanity, and gods good sense know where they must stand firm.
