Summary
Key leaders of the “Abandon Harris” movement, which encouraged voters to oppose Kamala Harris due to U.S. support for Israel during the Gaza war, are now expressing unease about Trump’s incoming administration.
Many in the movement, including prominent Muslim leaders, voted for Trump hoping he would bring peace to the Middle East.
However, concerns are growing over his Cabinet picks, such as Mike Huckabee and Tulsi Gabbard, which some see as troubling for Muslim communities.

You’re unlikely to get an answer.
Most people who abstained are checked out of politics. They’re not spending free time on social media talking about politics.
To get them to re-engage is going to take some work.
Which makes it harder to discuss what we need to change to get them back, especially when people reflexively down vote that discussion
