    I don’t generally begrudge people for being misled, but I can’t concern myself with their plight when all my effort is going to protecting my family from the danger they exposed all of us to.

      The dems could have run a winning candidate. You don’t blame them? Just the refugees who can’t even vote?

      “we trusted him, his word, what he promised Latinos”
      They were lied to. The Democrats took them for granted, and the GOP ran ads all over spanish speaking media… even in other countries.
      He told them he was only going to deport serious criminals… he told english speaking people that they’re all criminals, and all getting deported.
      I mean, it’s naive, but he didn’t deport that many people during his first term… back then he was focused on building a wall and keeping people out.

        It is more than naive. Willful ignorance. Trump was crystal clear about his views on immigrants. She knew exactly what she was doing.

          he was very clear when speaking english.
          it was a different message entirely in spanish, with nobody challenging him.

          i don’t see why victim blaming is so fun for you, but for me i see someone heavily deceived, who is now losing her family by the person that tricked her.

          she is more of a victim of trump than you are… just because p.t. barnum fooled her doesn’t mean she deserves it… also her family didn’t vote at all… there’s no room to gloat here, it’s just pure tragedy.

            Whose message? Donald Trump only speaks English.

              they had advertising in spanish, trump had like, several teams of people working with him… you didn’t know that?
              did you think it was just him doing everything directly?

              most trump voters weren’t paying close attention to what he said, btw… they’re quite literally ignorant.

                Voting out of blissful ignorance because you saw one ad is also not strong motivation for sympathy. These were important decisions. Making them out of ignorance is just pathetic instead of hateful/bigoted like the informed voting for him.

            No, we had all of Trump 45 to know exactly who he is. Fool me once and all that. If you looked at Trump and thought “Yeah, I could go for more of that,” you weren’t lied to. You went back to the abusive relationship after we expended effort to get out and now we’re all back in the shit.

        Nah. He relied heavily on the misogyny and anti-queer bigotry of many Hispanic men. The people who were genuinely misled are not the majority; they just thought the trains would stop before they got to them.
