As the reality of another Trump presidency set off anger and sorrow from many Democratic commentators, there was a sense of indifference, if not vindication among the Arab American gathering.
Democratic candidate Kamala Harris had ignored the community's calls for reconsidering the unconditional US support for Israel, despite the brutal atrocities in Gaza and Lebanon.
Abusalah said part of the reason why Harris lost was her decision to side with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the expense of alienating the Democratic base.
The Democrats continue to downplay what's going on, and Harris's main message to the Arab community was to warn of the dangers of a Trump presidency, a tactic that did not work.
