Leopards Ate My Face

Morons, they are morons.

Same as many other trump voters, pure disillusion and desperation with the status quo. They buy the lie instead.

I read somewhere that none of Trump's talk of mass, indiscriminate deportation was translated, like in their Spanish language ads. All of the Spanish language ads were supposedly geared towards "nooooo lmao we're only going to deport violent criminals and drug lords!"

They're lying. They weren't tricked. Trump openly and repeatedly showed how he felt about immigrants of all kinds. Everyone knew it, everyone knows it, everyone will always know it.

What actually happened is that these people decided to focus on other things. They told themselves a story about how bad the Democrats are, perhaps, which isn't that hard because there are so many dirty politicians in Washington.

Also, even immigrants can be racist. It's easy enough for someone to think that the other group of "bad" minorities will be targeted, not their own, because they too want someone to spit on. The same thing is true for many poor white MAGA voters too, right? Trump's policies are devastating for rural America, but if you'd rather have hate than healthcare, you're getting what you voted for.

Not sure about this woman, but my naturalized citizen mother is not used to English so she just constantly watch anti-Democrat propaganda from WeChat. 🤷‍♂️

Edit: I mean we are all legal, but my dad is still a PRC citizen. My grandmother (mother's mother) is still a PRC citizen too.

I guess people seem to just expect the rule of law to be upheld... 🤦‍♂️

First time maybe, second term there is absolutely no excuse

Some people (~30%) can't separate reality from fiction.

Immigrant here. No english means same info from the internet. Usual thought process goes :

"Right are working class farmers so left must be the CEOs. Like in my country except they are switched. Makes sense."

Colonialism cannot simply subjugate minorities with violent force alone, it isn't enough to turn people against their homes.

Colonialism must divide people with fear and make them pick sides against their heart so that the oppression of Colonialism is distracted from by the oppression of people hurting each other as they try to claw their way up through brutal racist, classist conditions all the while being lectured by white people.

It doesn't have to make sense to you why people would vote against their interests, you must simply understand that it is essential for authoritarian control and thus rich people have gotten very good at convincing people to do it in the US.

You can only have a class based system where certain groups are excluded from enjoying decent lives if there is always a sales pitch being made to a minority group that if they betray their own interests to help white people come out on top again then they will be let into the white club. Whiteness dies without that and yet whiteness can never really let anybody in who isn't white without dying itself.

Focus your anger on the immense incongrituities of this situation not the fact that it hurts people so bad they can't see clearly with their heart anymore.

Fascists aren't people. Logic and self interest does not apply.

It's all libidnal desire to not think, a rejection of a world that demands they grow and change. A rejection of complexity, of knowledge, of responsibility.

Critical thinking does not apply. Their whole way of being runs counter to that. There is no self awareness, no imagination¹, not even self preservation.

Even what you and i think of as communication serves a different purpose for them. It's like the husks from 'mass effect' but more so.

¹older versions of fascism actually had imagination. It was a thing. Filtered out; creates too much complexity.
