    “There are two things that I hate about the immigrants”, said the random dingdong in one breath, “first of all, they’re not doing any work, and second of all, they take all of our jobs.”

    …I heard this joke in the 1980s. The dingdongs haven’t gotten any less self-contradictory.

      That was when your dingdongs were local. They got their own news channel in 94 and it’s been a shit luge to helltown ever since.

    • And when they finally succeed in kicking the foreigners out, they wonder why their cheap labor isn’t showing up and their business is now in trouble, but would vote for it again!

      Just like their image of Biden - both a doddering old dementia case, and an evil socialist mastermind.

        To be fair, that is exactly how I think of trump, minus the mastermind bit. Like he would be comically evil if it weren’t for the real life consequences others are paying. While I also believe he is barely functioning upstairs, and just signing off on whatever the heritage foundations or the family tells him to

    To fascists, hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance are features, not bugs.

    “Never believe that anti-Semites fascists are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

      (Blue states vs red states) ICE is targeting blue states, crops are made in red states.

      Trump wants chaos, he wants special rule over military, he wants to imprison all lefty thinkers, he wants to escalate the situation,

      he wants civil war.

      They’re at in impasse. He’s an immigrant, but he’s also rich. They’re drawing the line at rich AND donates to Democrats. Then he’s out.

        Someone mentioned immigrants from UK and Europe. You have no idea how racist the USA can be even to white people. Check the history books it’s just hypocritical to think it only affected colored people because they were already marginalized communities.

    Let’s not forget, if they arrested even a handful of employers the rest would stop hiring tomorrow. No jobs, no immigrants.

      dont even need to go that far, just do what florida did recently, by issuing ID checks for verifying immigrant/migrants, most of them vanished from the states. i also havnt heard in quite a while if florida reversed thier decision.

    It is worded that way because MAGA sincerely believes people are getting government benefits illegally en masse.
