MAGA devotee Roberto Mosquera thought Trump would unify the country. Now he’s 8,000 miles away.
Imagine being so vote-cucked that you endorse concentration camps.
You spend a lot of your life trying to get out of your bad situation. When you show up in the new place, it’s full of people like you, with the same skills. That’s how an immigrant gets hot on anti-immigration. They’re just in denial on the concentration camps, won’t happen to me, I’m a good person, I keep my head down. There’s a fine, perhaps even blurry line between selfishness and self-preservation. They chose poorly.
Worst part, I don’t know that what’s going on changes their mind until it actually happens to them and theirs.
Concentration camps that they get to visit. On a permanent basis.
dude you had mosque in your name, you were gonna be targeted one way or another
These pro trumper minorities should get it worse for being so stupid. You literally said YES go your own persecution, so don’t cry now.
I don’t wish this on anyone no matter how stupid they are. He also was likely beaten and tortured.
It’s sad and fucked up, but I also struggle to feel sorry because FAFO - you voted for that and if you didn’t see it coming it’s your own fault. The whole of America and the rest of the world is suffering now because an orange nazi turd was elected president.
It would be one thing if your vote brought in an administration that only affected you. But obviously, that’s not how it works. He voted for the hateful, discriminatory Trump who’s been exactly who we see every day on the news and in his own words for the last decade plus. He knew it would negatively affect others, he just assumed he would be left alone as one of the “good one” supporters…
I think saying “I told you so” or gloating just makes republicans dig in their heels, but I do think this is a good time to talk to our fellow Americans about why we believe in compassion and restraining law enforcement. Now the man seems to suck politically and that says bad things about who he is, but the story as presented is one where he made some bad choices then turned his life around to improve his community. When someone misreading a file can get you deported that’s a problem, when it can get you deported to a country you have no ties to it’s a much bigger problem.
We have 4 amendments in the bill of rights about restraining the justice system. The 9th is also relevant here of "just because we clarified these rights doesn’t mean you can take rights we didn’t specify away.
Gosh, if only there were some indication that Trump was a racist that hated Hispanic people before Mosquera voted for him.
You’re not wrong, but at the same time, there was a concerted effort to obfuscate the republican game plan in Hispanic communities specifically. Like, they were more directly lied to than basically everyone else in the voter base, with (very obviously, but still) empty promises of protection, benefits, and security.
Many of these people genuinely did not know what they were voting for because many, many steps were taken by swaths of lying dirtbags to ensure that they could not know the truth of these things without suddenly and dramatically pivoting in their beliefs and exiting their comfort zones for reasons they, by design, did not even know they might have need for.
It shouldn’t be a surprise to any of us at this point that the propaganda works. We are in the position we are in as a world culture because the propaganda works.
I’m not from US, but “I hate mexicans, we have to kick them out, and let’s build a wall against them” is pretty self-explanatory, no?
There was a lot of talk about ‘recent immigrants’, while the voting population is older immigrants that got citizenship by going through the process (or people that lived on land that became the US under them), and they also hate illegal immigration because they did it ‘the right way’ and are the reason police and border patrol keeps hassling them.
Obviously it’s the wrong way of thinking about the issue of you correctly identify that it’s basically pure racism, but I could see how you could be led there if you’re a low information voter (especially if the TV station you watch is owned by a Trump ally).
My wife is Hispanic, and most of her family that doesn’t speak English, all love Trump. Apparently, when they translate him speaking into Spanish, they paraphrase everything he says, just to make him sound sane. Her aunt and father would both send her videos, where he’s rambling about some stupid, crazy shit, and the Spanish translation is completely different than what’s coming out of his mouth. It makes him sound normal.
She’s had to explain to them so many times, that what they’re hearing, is not what he’s actually saying…but when she translates it directly for them, they don’t always believe her. Why would they? They can’t believe anyone would say that, because it’s all nonsense.
They really have no idea just how stupid and dangerous he actually is.
Those translators need to be muted and deafened ya know what shatter their hands irrevocably while your at it. They shouldnt have the ability to lie in such a way.
I don’t mind them deporting him, but people should be returned to their home country, not to a life sentence in some notorious torture prison. They entered America illegally, they should be sent home, but that doesn’t deserve a life sentence in a dungeon.
And NOBODY should go anywhere without due process first.
Dude had been in the country for 50 years, married a citizen and had a daughter. I think he’s an idiot for being a Trump supporter but the more sensible action would be to let him stay. Entering illegally is a misdemeanor. The president has 34 felonies.
Those 34 felonies are kid stuff compared to his other crimes, like treason, rape, and pedophilia.
Everything Jesus died for.
why does it matter how someone got here? assuming they aren’t causing any actual problems I genuinely don’t give a fuck if someone’s here “legally” or not. I’m only here because I was born here, so I didn’t have to do jack shit, why should they?
