i haven't been to Mexico since i was four. i don't speak Spanish. this would wreck my life!

awww, yeah? so now that you're being directly impacted by Trump's policies they've gone too far? could this have been avoided by not supporting a fascist perhaps? hmm..

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 83 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They think they're special and they can do anything they want because they're republican.

What do you MEAN I'm out of the in-group? I was in the in-group.

For those smarter among us, this is why we want laws that apply fairly to everyone.

I don't want a world where crimes are expected, and you just have to continually manage whose good graces you're in in order to survive.

You'd think billionaires of the 1990s would agree, but they can 10x their money if they just avoid falling out of windows.

How was he supposed to know that ALL THE IMMIGRANTS would include him?!

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Bold of him to assume they'd send him back to Mexico and not to Sudan or whereverthefuck they're disappearing people to

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 14 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

He would be best to go back to Mexico on his own right now, or else he'll probably end up somewhere he doesn't want to be.

Of course, he's an idiot so this won't have occurred to him.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 15 points 2 months ago (8 children)

He openly admits that he doesn't actually know anything about the people he's voting for, and just votes for anyone who represents the republican party. He doesn't even know if he actually voted for Trump or not he just "suspects" that he probably did. This probably means he also doesn't bother to actually pay any attention to any of the policies of the republican party.

He just coasted through life without paying any attention or ever engaging in his brain. He's the reason that manufacturers had to start putting "don't drink bleach" warnings on bleach.

It's difficult to understand how a permanent resident would think he's a citizen and therefore eligible to vote.

I'm also questioning why the state of Kansas didn't verify his voter registration in any way.

[–] spinne@sh.itjust.works 39 points 2 months ago

Right? What happened in his civics/U.S. government classes, he just thought the voting rules didn't apply to him? All the other people who moved to the States from Mexico by the time they were four, yes, just not him.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 28 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Some states allow non citizens to vote in non federal elections. I don't know the rules for Kentucky.

Apparently neither does he.

He was all for it when it was wrecking someone else's life.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago (2 children)

He should go to Mexico and get a decent education because the US clearly did not teach him some basic ass fundamentals in civics and general comprehension.

He says:

I always loved Trump, this is unfair

That just shows how these idiots think. His opinion on Trump and his legal position regarding citizenship are in fact completely separate. But they don't see this.

They think along the lines of "The state shouldn't punish me, I am on the right side". That's the sort of underlying mental model of the world they have. It's unfathomable.

I do not understand the cult of personality around Donald Trump he's the least appealing looking human who has ever existed, surely they could have found a more attractive cult leader. Most cults do.

Also how do you manage to get into politics and simultaneously be completely politically inept? You just get a free pass in the US if you just turn up?

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 19 points 2 months ago (2 children)

That's what gets me too. America has always been in a weird place where they blindly worship everyone famous. And they treat politics like a sport. So it's not surprising that some guy rolls around selling them monorails. But i expected that guy to look like george Clooney and the charisma or Vince McMahon or something.

But instead they get ripped off by the dumbest, absolutely vile looking and provably smelling human being i couldn't even imagine. He looks and acts like someone that a scientist had to invent in a lab. He is the villain from an Austin powers movie.

Aside from the main point of the article, how the fuck does it happen that someone votes since 1991 even though he's not eligible?

Does no one check that? Where I live, they have a list of people who can come to a vote in that specific region and unless you can present an official ID proving you're that person, you can't vote.

The common theme is people who think they're the in-crowd bullying outsiders, discovering that no, they were never in the in-crowd, the in-crowd just told them they were for as long as it was convenient.

If you're even slightly any category of minority, and you vote Republican thinking that they'll count you as one of their own, then you've not paid attention in history class.

The sheer stupidity of this guy. He wants position, image and power, at the expense of (checking notes), people just like him.

Oh man, that's pretty rough Joe.

What I will do, is gather up all the empathy that you expressed for ICE victims before this happened to you, and then use exactly the same amount of concern for your wellbeing.

Ceballos also acknowledged that he “probably” voted for Kobach and former president Donald Trump several times because he automatically selects the candidates with an “R” beside their names.

Absolute fucking numpty here.
