      It’s because they only watch news and media they agree with.

      They’ll only ever believe right wing media because that’s all they know. They were raised on it, and their parents were likely raised on it as well.

      and in the right-wing media circle, Trump has never done anything wrong or illegal.

    Yes, you DID vote for that. You just trusted FOX News, who didn’t tell you that’s what you were voting for.

    2016 through 2020 wasn 't clear enough the Donvict was going to target only the “low hanging fruit” and not actual gangs and the cartel. They wrote a freaking manual on what they were going to do about immigration. His rhetoric then and now includes revoking natural born citizenship to deal with all those “anchor babies”. They fucking voted for this. If they started saying "ok we fucked up, we’re not onboard anymore " MAYBE they would get an inkling of respect. But this pleading ignorance makes it so much worse for them and they will be the fucking morons of history that helped tank the US.

      Even if a sizeable number of them didn’t, a lot if not most of them did in fact vote to deport mothers. They told everybody this was the plan. It was always the plan.

    Yes you did. And literally everyone tried to warn you but you didn’t wanna listen because you thought they’d only deport the people you don’t like.

    FFS people! YES, YOU VOTED EXACTLY FOR THIS!!

    Admit that this is what you voted for and just say you regret it, you were wrong, and then do whatever you can to salvage what little is left of your community.

    Jesus Fucking Christ, I just can’t with these fucking people, it’s as if their intestines have started to excrete feces into their skulls.

    According to Hui’s attorney, she hoped to gain permanent resident status in the U.S. after paying “an American citizen $2,000 to enter into a sham marriage.”

    She needs to get a new attorney.

    Is critical thinking in America completely dead? Why would you trust a 39-time felon for anything? Even asking him the time of the day is suspicious of getting a made up answer.

      Smart observers will realize this saga is a story about the effectiveness of modern media at distorting reality. Americans aren’t just magically, uniquely shitty people. We had a coordinated disinformation engine, truly a superweapon, trained on our population for a long, long period of time.

      Shit works pretty great, and the world will see more of it.

      Edit: strongest bit of evidence is probably just how the target group got their world views completely rewritten. Hard to really document properly, ya kinda just have to witness the dramatic shift firsthand. People got reprogrammed within a single generation. The same folks who raised us on “two wrongs don’t make a right” and “treat others how you want to be treated” behave completely unrecognizably today. The disinformation engine is so effective they were tricked into completely rewriting their own internal values.

            And it’s about as “broad spectrum” as it gets, going from literal shortwave radio (very active for this weapon), all the way up to the most sophisticated AI we have at the moment I’m writing this,

            And every possible communication technology between those two extremes is also used for this purpose.

            The crazy part is I think for all of the sophistication, it all just boils down to a numbers game. Reach enough people with enough bullshit enough times and their minds change. It’s flat out that simple.

      They hate the same people he does, and that camaraderie matters more to them than being robbed and trafficked to South Sudan by mistake.

    One resident told Healy, "She’s exactly the sort of person you’d want to come to the country. I don’t know how this fits into the deportation problem with Trump.”

    She overstayed on a tourist visa. She’s the exact sort of “illegal” they’ve been rallying against. I don’t think you can get this ignorant on accident.

    “No one voted to deport moms” says people who voted to deport moms after being repeatedly warned that a vote for Dondalf Trumpssolini was a vote for deporting moms only to celebrate the idea that moms should definitely be deported.
