Many liberals celebrated when Hamtramck, Michigan, elected a Muslim-majority council in 2015 but a vote to exclude LGBTQ+ flags from city property has soured relations
The celebration was assumed. See, Republicans always make a habit of hating anything that Democrats like, so the feeble minded journo with a looming deadline and no solid leads will assume the reverse is also true. Thus, because Republicans hate Muslims and want to eject them from any form of government, they'd assume Democrats must always celebrate whenever Muslims get majority control of some government body.
I'm being less sarcastic than I would like to, here.
I'll try to be generous and say that maybe some misguided people on the left were celebrating this, believing it was a win for diversity, but it sure wasn't widespread.
The establishment Democratic party is neoliberal which is not a far reach from the conservative Republican party (as opposed to the reactionary Republican party).
That's to say they Democrats are to the right of th American public, and most of the developed world. They depend on the GOP being consistently worse than they are.
And neither atheists nor progressives have a voice in the US.
Hey everyone, go drink a cool glass of water and think about the last time you laughed so hard you were afraid you'd either puke or pass out. Have fun!
