Summary

Bradley Bartell, a Trump voter from Wisconsin, started a GoFundMe to raise $3,000 for his wife Camila Muñoz’s bond after ICE detained her.

Muñoz, a Peruvian citizen, overstayed her work-study visa due to the pandemic and was seeking legal residency as Bartell’s spouse. She was arrested returning from a honeymoon in Puerto Rico.

Bartell continues to maintain that he does not regret voting for Trump.

Since Trump’s return to office, ICE has arrested over 90,000 immigrants.

Didn't he just say he had no regrets about voting him in?

Never underestimate the amount of cognitive dissonance to be found in the average Trump supporter's views. These are remarkably dumb people.

Rivaling neutron stars in density.

Black holes instead of brains

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

more like a selective worm hole that goes from one ear and out the other.

That's doublethink. Cognitive dissonance is the discomfort you feel from it. Obviously, he feels none.

Damn that sucks if true. I really do feel bad for them, but like what is the point of me donating if he's not going to speak out against this administration. Doesn't he realize it's not just about his situation, but for everyone else who's also impacted by this? I rather give to another family that will not only use these funds to hopefully turn their situation around but also you know like then also give back/help others and speak out. To be honest I didn't look into OP's comment to fact check because you know I'm only human, busy and got problems of my own. If true though this is really sad ....

Actually, no. Studies have shown that those who lean conservative tend to have a diminished ability to feel empathy. There’s a good chance that he simply cannot comprehend that others could be negatively affected by his actions. In his mind, he’s all that matters.

theres also a study of conservative brains, that thier amydala, fear response is much higher too. so they are totally addicted to fear based rhetoric.

There are already too many deserving charities for my pocket book. Giving money to an unrepentant Trump voter who got exactly what he voted for gets my sympathy, but not a dime.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

Doesn’t he realize it’s not just about his situation,

He probably just wants his wife to stay, but everybody else to be thrown out.

I really do feel bad for them

Why?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

No regrets but a go fund me. Sure, buddy, we believe you.

He must have that TDS that's going around these days. It makes you talk and act oposite to reason.
