    Do they not remember that what transformed Trump form a joke candidate to the front runner in 2015 was when he was openly racist against Latinos? That was all it took. His white supporters hate Latinos. The anti-immigrant hysteria is just thinly disguised hatred of Latinos. How any Latino can support trump is just mind boggling to me.

    “This is crazy, we voted for Trump, we trusted him, his word, what he promised Latinos,” she said.

    I mean the guy promised he’ll deport all undocumented immigrants

    Let’s go for the liberal scadenfreude. Deportation of Latinos is OK if one of their family member voted for trump appartently

    Disguisting community. Same level as the people who comment “SEE WE TOLD YOU TO VOTE FOR OUR GUY” under every Gaza news

      Nobody is saying it’s okay. The argument clearly being made here is that you can’t have any sympathy for someone who gets exactly what they signed up for.

          Yes, I have and, again, nobody is cheering that people are being deported. They are saying they have no sympathy for those who voted for this and only care once the consequences reach them personally. I’m not going to pretend your argument is based on anything that’s actually being posted hinting that this is a common sentiment for folks o. The side against deportation.

          Granted, there is always a fraction, how ever small, of people within any group that are just mean spirited shit-fucks who make the group they identify with look like fuckers as a whole. But in no way is this a common or acceptable view by the vast majority of the group as a whole.

      No sympathy for those reaping what they sowed doesn’t mean no sympathy for those deserving of it, ie. those in her family who did not vote for Trump who are now suffering because of a situation she helped cause.

      Banned. Seems a bit much. Maybe I’m lacking context, I dunno. I’ll just say I think it’s fair to point out whenever there is collateral damage deserving of consideration, and I didn’t feel insulted or anything by their post that is now removed.

      If anything it’s just motivation to do some introspection. We should take care that our inclination to react to news like this with righteous vengeance doesn’t overshadow our empathy for and solidarity with other people that’s at the core of why idiots and assholes voting a fascist rapist into power makes us feel this emotionally invested.

    “I hate that I voted for him. Now I fear for my family and their families. We must come together and do something about this,” she said.

    Two in the thoughts, one in the prayers.

    From the rest of the world that is now suffering because of your dumb ass, go fuck yourself.

    The article headlines that they will be deported. The following paragraph switches that to could be deported and then the rest of the article gives no indication that even supports that. Also, someone whining on TikTok is hardly concrete. Pure shit article.

    That said, if this is real, womp womp. Have the day you voted for, lady. You made a commitment for people here to live in more fear than they already endure. I don’t show a ton of empathy for those who exhibit none.

    One thing that’s always missing from these is people naming where they got their information from. Sure, she says that Trump said this or that, and all of us can easily say: well if course he didn’t. We don’t just have a problem with people not connecting the dots, we have major propaganda and misinformation issues. She probably read on Facebook or watched something on Tiktok that said this. Was it Russian operatives? Was it just Fox news? There are so many bad sources out there.

      I think it boils down to education. There are studies that prove intelligent people are more left-wing, it’s why the fascists hate education.

        I lost an immigrant friend to maga. He got on with the anti-lgbtq rhetoric apparently, and also explained to me how many of the Caribbean island people and South American country folks, were all racist against one another. I guess no harm saying he was from Trinidad, and personally he disliked the Puerto Ricans and the Mexicans. Obviously I stopped talking to him.

        Every so often I think about how he moved here when he was 14. He didnt get the same early education I did, and I truly believe it had a massive impact on how he chose to vote, that and fucking religion.

        I tried to argue he was following his colonizers religion, but got no where.

        I still dont understand why they all choose to follow the “white mans” religion, whos place of founding was on the otherside of the world, they stole so many South American cultures and replaced it with white washed religion. Im probably ignorant- but I dont understand that part at all.

        Anyway, I sometimes wonder what the friend thinks today. But also, I don’t care. Hate isn’t supposed to have a home in the US, we’re a melting pot. Thats what I was taught in like the 5th grade Ffs

    Trump told you he was going to do this, and you voted for him anyway. You’re getting exactly what you voted for. We warned you, so fuck off. You have no one to blame but yourself.

    It’s easy to blame her, but, buuuut, it’s not as if she had anyway to know that tRUMP was incompetent, abusive, untruthful, and racist.

    Ok, fine, yeah he was like that in his first term as ‘president’.
    And, yeah, there was all that incompetence, abuse, lies, and loads of racism…oh so much racism…in the 5 or so decades before his ‘presidency’ (info that was/is easily found by a quick search on the internet) but is it really her fault that she willfully ignored the fat orange cunt? Is it?
    I mean, yes, it is. Obviously it is completely her fault, and she should be haunted by what she’s done.

        If you read the article you will notice that 46% of latinos voted trump. Also the article doesn’t say only she voted for the orange pestilence.

        People suffer and the worst for me is the people like her then going on social media seeking mental support for the clusterfuck she helped create. I feel sad for every member of the family who didn’t vote for trump.

        Anyone who actively voted trump in my eyes is directly responsible for so much suffering and more is to come. So no, no sympathy for trump voters because anyone could easily evaluate trump before they voted and he did nothing to hide what a asshole he is.

          Since when can non-citizens vote in US presidential elections? She became citizen at some point, got the right to vote, then voted to get her non-citizen family deported.

              Nothing in the article indicates that the family members facing deportation are American citizens.

              So based on available facts: She voted to get her family deported. She’s part of the stupid 46%.

        At which point, idiot, did I blame her family? Please point it out for everyone to see. I’ll wait…

    I want to be sympathetic, but… even if she voted for him because he promised to only deport the serious criminals… what about the everything else he promised? What about his track record on just about any promise he’s ever made?
