    “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

      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.

      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.

    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%.

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

    And what promises were those, exactly? What Trump promised latinos was to deport all the other latinos they don’t like.

    That’s Trump’s magic. He tells one group of people and says “I hate the same people you hate.” Then he goes to another group of people and says the same thing. Eventually he’s convinced everybody he hates everybody, but not themselves.

    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?

      “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.

              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.
