You voted for exactly this, you dumb fucks. Trump told you what he was gonna do in no uncertain terms.
- That's part of the problem. They only heard what their news sources wanted them to hear and they never took it serious enough to look further into anything.
  They're still partially to blame, but constant bombardment of right wing disinfo is a huge factor in all of this.
  
  Funny how only some people are affected by such a bombardment. Whatever could be the difference between the people who are so influenced and the people who are not?
- Just wanted to say thanks to @CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com for posting the above pic here, so I could repost it elsewhere!
  
  I probably should help db0 and copy the link but that's harder to keep track of versus just uploading the pic I have on my phone.
- So many lonely, shitty people think they are in a special club. Nope. FAFO.
  
  Part of the allure of Fascism is that it tells every prospective bootlicker the same lie: that when the dust settles, and all the undesirables are dealt with, that THEY, and ONLY THEM, will be the ones left standing, wearing The Boot.
  And so, when consequences come a-knockin' like this, it's no surprise that these people scream "HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO ME?????"
"All of these stupid things being done by the administration we voted for are totally not our fault!"
Imagine that, not taking responsibility.
- Truly they are being taught how politics can affect their day to day life.
  
  Being taught, perhaps, but not yet learning.
but....if you voted for him what exactly did you expect ? did you really think he goes after everyone but his voters?
“He said he was going after criminals and illegal immigrants,” Rey said. “Not people like Agustin. Not our son.” We haven't even gotten to the homegrowns yet (:
Gentile, 31, was detained in April after returning from an international trip. Though he has held legal permanent residency for years, a 2020 misdemeanor conviction in California flagged him in the Department of Homeland Security’s system. When he appeared for a routine immigration appointment, he was arrested on the spot and later transferred to the Stewart facility in rural Georgia.
According to court documents, Gentile was convicted of infliction of injury and initially sentenced to five years of probation, later reduced to three. The case was closed in 2023. Still, ICE charged him with committing a “crime involving moral turpitude,” a designation that can lead to deportation for green card holders.
This is why due process is important.
“We don’t care about politics anymore. We just want to live in peace.”
They obviously didn't learn a thing. They're just not going to vote thinking that it will balance out rather than voting against trumpism.
“The sociopathic felon we voted for is hurting the wrong people!”
"I don't get it, I just voted for a man! I was just manipulated into worshipping Trump, why would I care about his policies? I voted for Trump in a popularity contest, we shouldn't have to suffer from any actions taken by Trump! I just voted "I like this guy" on election day that's all!"
...wtf does voting for Trump even mean in separation from his intended goals?
So....... you voted for this, then?
"We voted for the Leopards Eating Faces party because we thought they wouldn't eat OUR faces, but now they are!"
And they'll do it again. Make no mistake.
They: “Now we’re considering moving back to Argentina”
Trump: “Mission accomplished”
