    Damn, that’s more sad than funny, even though Trump voters are either stupid, or evil and knew exactly what would happen.

    “I regret something that I did but only now it’s personally affecting me and my family.”

    I would like to know how she felt when everyone else was getting kidnapped and deported?

    Isn’t undocumented another word for illegal immigrant? (It’s not really a term we have over here so apologies if I got that wrong)

    I have nothing whatsoever against people based on their country of origin or skin colour etc, but if you’re (or a close loved one is) flagrantly breaking the law and hiding from the authorities by illegally residing in a country, surely you shouldn’t be surprised when you vote for the guy that promised to root these criminals out and deport them?

    To me, the big news is people who are legally residing in the USA are being gulag’d, not that they’re catching illegal immigrants. But yes, this woman was a fool, sadly.

    She may be intelligent and capable of learning better, but such is the power of propaganda and brainwashing that it can get us all. None of us are immune.

    It’s a strong reminder that people can be tricked into working against their own interests, no matter how smart we are. The only thing that will give us a fighting chance are strong Critical Thinking skills. Even then, it’s so easy to be fooled and not realise it.

    I can’t help but feel bad for her and her family.

    And as much as we want to laugh at her, that doesn’t help. A lot of people need to see how their mistakes affect them before they get it.

    This country needs to be united, and anyone that wants to defect left should be welcomed. Show them the light and how they were lied to and manipulated. Grow our numbers. Teach people compassion.

    But if we ostracize her, she’ll just end up back into her media sphere and voting against the betterment of this country again.

      How much hateful right wing rhetoric do you think she happily enjoyed and shared during her stint as a Trumpist? There is a pretty high chance that it is higher than zero.

      If she was right in front of me I’d be gentle, say I’m proud of her for realizing the truth even if it was a little late, and try to help at least by making her some tea or something.

      But from over here? Bruh I still hope she gets her dad back and shit, and I do feel bad because she’s clearly stupid as all hell so from her perspective this was a sudden and unexpected betrayal, but holy shit I do love these posts. Trump was beyond obviously evil and maintained that very public energy for a decade yet people still gave him the popular vote in 2024. Harris should have been the right-wing candidate but instead the US made her the only option against the super far right.

      She deserved this, she helped make this happen. There are only so many times you can beg someone not to drink bleach before you just don’t have the empathy to do anything about it. And I still do, I’ll never let it go completely, but I’m not going to pander to these idiots and make their horrible opinions feel valid.

      Do you not remember how this went the past 15 times it happened in the past 3 decades?

      “Welcoming” them back teaches them that their actions have no consequences. Many conservatives entrench and intensify their vile worldviews precisely because they know that their social circles will remain under the justification of “It’s just politics”. They dial it back when they receive pushback or punishment, and intensify it in time for the next election. Every. Goddamn. Time.

      They aren’t ‘defecting left’. They’re sad that they, personally, were harmed; and they will continue to advocate for others to be harmed as soon as their ultra-fucked rationalization of vile behavior either triggers on its own, or is ‘guided’ by their favorite media or memes.

      Nope. Fuck them. They got exactly what they voted for. This is probably one of the few things Trump didn’t lie about.

      I don’t.

      Stupid people can only learn through suffering. It was inevitable for this woman to suffer to become less ignorant. The suffering was going to happen one way or another.

      She could have done her homework. She chose not to. It’s not like actual data/information is being withheld from her, kept behind lock and key. She just chose not to look it up.

      I’ll 100% accept this woman into the fold, but ONLY if she accepts her mistake. Have you talked to a lot of conservative voters? A common theme is not accepting the fault for their actions. I want acknowledgement before I accept any of these clowns. Stupid is dangerous and I don’t want them anywhere near me until I know they can learn from their mistakes.

    “All his plans were public but I refused to review them. I thought Project 2025 was a joke because I only subscribe to rightwing media.”

    I’m upset that people are being harmed. I’m not upset that you feel betrayed.

    The time to come together in unity and compassion was the election. That’s long since passed now. He showed everyone exactly who he was while campaigning for his first presidency, and every single second since then.

    If you were still unsure about his leadership qualities, his first presidency was filled with him throwing others under the bus, telling blatant, significant lies with every speech, betraying our allies for political gain, bungling the pandemic response and needlessly destroying hundreds of thousands of lives, spending more time golfing than doing his job, and concluded with him attempting to overturn the election by pressuring states, participating in an illegal scheme that involved fake electors, and inciting an insurrection at the nation’s capitol. Oh, and he was impeached twice.

    But if racism is the final straw for you to stop supporting this draft-dodging, ableist, lying, rapist, 34-count convicted felon, great; but that was on display, too. He called places with brown and black populations “shithole countries”, issued a ban on immigration from Muslim countries, criticized Puerto Rico and dragged his feet on helping them after a devastating hurricane, pardoned Arizona racist Joe Arpaio, convicted for his illegal “worst pattern of racial profiling in US history” (DoJ), harshly cracked down on peaceful Black Lives Matter protestors, including tear-gassing them at a church to disperse them and use the location as a photo-op.

    I won’t go through all the examples, but the end result is if you voted for him in 2024, you either ignored or approved of his racism. Unfortunately, it’s now affecting many innocent people, some of whom you know…

    So the guy who has been stiffing contractors for the last 50 YEARS, the guy who calls our servicemen “suckers and losers” the guy who openly bragged about just how hard he was going to fark us all over, the guy who shits in a GOLD TOILET doesn’t care about YOU?

    That must have come as quite a shock.

    This is why when I see conspiracies on here that Kamala won but trump rigged the election makes me angry. When you say that you’re understating that so so so many Latinos and Latina’s voted hard for Trump and the Fourth Reich. Because they thought they were protected and everyone else was a useless eater urchin that deserve to be deported. Now they’re realizing that MAGA views all non-white and poor immigrants as the useless eater urchins.

    And are now paying the price.

    Bow down before the one you serve. You’re gonna get what you fucking deserve.
