I am also very confused. They had 'Mass Deportation Now' signs, but she didn't think she was voting for this. Que ingenua!

I loathe law-and-order rhetoric in any nation, but most certainly in America. Tough On Crime policies have led to the dumbest fucking things that have ever existed in the United States. People are voting for a serial liar and conman who will probably ship them off to Dijbouti or El Salvador just to stay away from someone who broke the law once, or who is likely to break the law. The lesson we should all learn is to stop going nuts over "crime waves". If the news claims that crime is "going through the roof" or that there is an "epidemic of crime", make sure to remember:
- There are way, way bigger threats to public safety than a few gangbangers, for example tech companies, evangelicals, and Nazis.
- Criminals are people too. They have hopes and dreams, motives, economic conditions, and opinions. Consider why someone is committing a murder or robbery, rather than assuming it's because of greed.
- There are for-profit security forces and prisons that all benefit from fear of crime. The news will often blow crime out of proportion to satisfy their sponsors, and downplay authoritarianism likewise.
- Police officers are often just as dangerous as criminals. It's better to think of crime as a situation that can be escalated and de-escalated (cops are notoriously bad at this) than as the result of Bad People who need Good People to stop them.
- There are a lot of good resources for reading about crime in a productive way. Although I am not quite Anarchist, the Anarchist Library has a lot of thought-provoking material on what makes law just and unjust. There's a big difference between "murder is wrong because the Law says so" and "murder is wrong because killing people is wrong".
- Some people are so evil that they need to be killed, i.e. Real Estate CEOs.
lol "Latinas for trump"
Sheep for the wolf
I'm of Irish and Scottish decent. I'm white. As fuck. Not AF. As fuck. I don't tan, I fucking burn, peel, and burn again. All the while, I suffer.
I'm from the south. Grew up in Texas, only been out of it for less than a year and still in the fucking south - so not much better.
Even I could tell... well, anyone, not to vote for Trump. "Oh, Trump likes _______" No, Trump likes Trump. End statement. End logic. End all.
Trump likes Trump.
If anyone thinks that Trump will put them, their group, or their issue, ahead of himself then they have refused to pay attention. Not that they haven't had the chance, they have willfully refused.
I was not able to vote. Moving from Texas to Arkansas, there was in issue with my registration, which in hind-sight sounds like "I'm lazy, have some voter suppression" because I didn't have a capital T branded on my forehead. I should have fought harder, but I was more worried about a roof over my head and food on the table. Fuck me for trying to survive and provide for my wife.
End statement: Not everyone who was unable to vote was lazy: Fuck all of you who say otherwise. Some of us could NOT vote, for whatever reason.
If it's any consolation, most of us not from the US know your system doesn't work for the people and deliberately makes it difficult for people like yourself to contribute to your country's democracy.
In my country, if you deliberately choose not to vote, you get fined.
I don’t think the problem quite amounts to Trump likes Trump. For me, the issue is obvious: this is reactionary policy that he and the Republicans have been quite clear about enacting. I am trying to be a bit more sympathetic because I get that people have been tricked, but I think Trump was very clear about doing this well in advance of the election.
Yes it is. You just thought you were the "good Jew"
Pick up a goddamn history book. There are no safe zones.
This is what you voted for xd, smartasa
dumb bitch, it's exactly what you voted for.
you just didn't think you would have been on the deport list if you voted for him.
Leopards, faces and delicious, words that come readily to mind.
Ackshully...
Makes me wonder what the fuck they think they voted for
Given she’s Latina, banning abortion would be a safe bet.
Making merica great, bald eagles, kid rock, 25¢ eggs, free diesel for their monster trucks, short bottom shorts on blondes, beer holders in car and no seatbelt laws taking their freedum.
That sorta thing.
Yeah, could he have screamed "I hate latino immigrants and I want to get rid of them as inhumanely as possible" any louder?
“While I stand by my support for him, I will call out harmful actions when necessary,” she said. “And finally, this isn’t about regrets; I have none.”
Oh well then, I hope you burn in Hell. Or in Florida. Whichever.
“While I stand by my support for him, I will call out harmful actions when necessary,” she said. “And finally, this isn’t about regrets; I have none.
Well...
If you voted for Trump then this is 100% what you specifically voted for. I’m tired of hearing this line, it’s bullshit. He was barking about literally everything he is doing the entire time, everyone else was pointing out that this is exactly what he was saying, if you genuinely didn’t think this is what he was all about the entire time then you are an idiot and the exact kind of tool they were asking you to be.
Fuck every single person who voted for this.
This is exactly what you voted for. Did you completely ignore everything he said he was going to do?
It is EXACTLY what you voted for, Leopard Bait.
