Her plan was to enroll to a school in Florida to change the status of her visa.

She made 0 effort to obtain legal immigration.

These people don't seem to have any reading comprehension.

Can we deport this inbred, middle-school-educated Trump supporter and keep the Colombian industrial engineer instead?

[-] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 56 points 1 week ago

I mean, deport him where? Any other country would probably deport him right back here.

[-] SARGE@startrek.website 40 points 1 week ago

.... Antarctica doesn't seem to have much in the way of law enforcement, so they likely wouldn't deport him back to us.

Could we Try there?

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago

So he could fuck up the only thing really going on there which is scientific studies? Fuck that. There's entire deserts that would love to have him

[-] SARGE@startrek.website 18 points 1 week ago

You make a good point.

The sand consumes all.

Can we start deporting the inbred uneducated to the great Pacific Garbage patch?

Right now I can see two futures.

One where the 2026 election gives the Dems control of both Houses.

The other where the 2026 elections are cancelled for national security reasons.

[-] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 118 points 1 week ago

Or the Republicans push through "election security" laws that gerrymander the whole country to the point that Democrats can never gain a majority in either house ever again.

This is 100% how every single dictatorship in existence today works. Almost all countries in the world hold elections. But some are more democratic than others. Every single tyrant in power today has been or claim to have been democratically elected.

"Authoritarians get voted in. They never get voted out."

[-] NewNewAccount@lemmy.world 53 points 1 week ago

There is absolutely a third future where the Democrats refuse to change their platform and fuck this up again. Don’t be naive.

One where the 2026 election gives the Dems control of both Houses.

We've got lib media trying to argue that the 2024 election indicated a rightward shift of the electorate.

It remains to be seen if the dems are just going to keep doubling down on trying to be republicans from the previous election.

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 27 points 1 week ago

Here's the thing. If the Left doesn't vote, they look at the people who do vote.

I was educated by some old school Communists; folks who actually were in Spain fighting Franco and who got blacklisted in the 1950s.

One story they always told was that in 1968 a lot of young radicals were saying that Humphrey was as bad as Nixon and they would never vote for him

The folks who had been around told the non-voters that Nixon was truly terrible and that they should do what they could to defeat him.

I've yet to see an election where the Left sat by idly and got anything good.

No, she's special, unlike those other lazy libruls.

I personally know, or knew (I stopped talking to him) a guy who was on welfare for 10+ years, but always ranted loudly about people on welfare being freeloaders. Their situation is always special in their minds, unlike all those other lazy moochers.

[-] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 70 points 1 week ago

Conservatism is correlated with a complete lack of empathy. They have trouble understanding other people are sentient beings, let alone equally deserving of freedom. Any problem that doesn't affect them is just a lie made up by evil Others to take away what they rightly deserve, which is everything.

[-] nature_man@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago

Not sure if its the same study that we're talking about here, but there was a study done on conservatives and (neo)liberals empathy levels towards others during the covid pandemic's initial onset, one of the works it cited as supporting evidence looked into political biases in relation to empathy in 2010, and while those classified as liberals (not remembering how they defined liberal for the paper, will have to find my citation & check later) more often attributed external factors to people's suffering (someone is poor because they suffer from bigotry based discrimination), conservatives almost universally attributed personal factors to those same people's suffering (someone is poor because they use drugs) UNLESS that person was listed as conservative in which case they were more likely to attribute it to an external factor.

They do have empathy, just only for those who are also conservative.

Interestingly, if I'm recalling which paper it was correctly, jordan b peterson (who is now a right wing influencer) actually contributed to it, this was BEFORE he started appearing in right wing circles and was while he was still someone who would be considered respectable

IMPORTANT: I'll have to find my statistics notes to back this up, so for now, please take this with a heavy grain of salt

She getting deported to?

To Columbia.

[-] PumaStoleMyBluff@lemmy.world 74 points 1 week ago

I don't think Trump's regime is going to work that hard at deporting everyone to the right country. She might end up in Mexico or even Rwanda.

[-] yrmp@lemmy.world 38 points 1 week ago

Assuming they even know the definition of deported. They don't seem to understand the definition of words. I still think Trump thinks asylum means people from insane asylums.

But this is my fear. They just start stripping citizenship from people who have been here legally to arbitrarily hit their quota numbers. Brown and got a bit of an accent? Naturalized in the last couple of years? Hope you're not here on January 20th. That day has a very ominous feel to it to me.

I say this as a man married into a family of Salvadoreños. People aren't treating this with the gravity it deserves.

Classic assumption that "the left" doesn't love this country.

[-] underwire212@lemm.ee 50 points 1 week ago

Love that phrase…”love this country”.

What does it even mean? The citizens? The flag? The physical land and soil that encompasses “this country”? Love the government? If so, what about the government do you love? The governments policies? Laws? The constitution? The actual government employees? Which ones? The president? A combination? How is the combination divided?

Also, depending on the answer to the above, why? Because you were born here? You think it’s better than other countries? How are you defining “better”?

Stupid phrase imo.

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

For me loving a country is a natural love of home. It's a sentimental attachment. I want my country to be a nice place the way I want my home to be a nice place. I want to feel the pride of both. If my kitchen stinks because of spoiled food and piles of dirty dishes I don't feel right. Same when my country stinks of poverty, homelessness, sick people who can't afford cures, etc. I want my home to be better than that. Recognizing faults doesn't mean someone doesn't love their country. it means they're honest.

Whenever I’m driving through highways, hiking at the Adirondacks, walking around nyc, visiting my friends in LA, I’m always in the awe of this country. Fuck these people who think we don’t “love” this country.

The opposite of when you mispronounce a word because you’ve only read it in books.

These dummies don’t read and heard this word wrong.

"She loves this country more than 3/4 of the folks on the left"

I'd like to see what data they were referencing for this claim.

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago

Oh, that's simple. There's a doctor with a rubber glove and a flashlight that helps them get their data.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 20 points 1 week ago

I hate this country. Mostly because of Trumpers, but I've got spare reserves for, you know, history.

[-] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 21 points 1 week ago

The left hates the evil this country does. The right hates the people who live in this country but are slightly different than they are.

Thems the rules. The rules we made up so we could demonize people and pretend it's not racism.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 40 points 1 week ago

Fun fact, if she renewed that visa with her plans to go to school in Florida, but then stayed there... She's ineligible to ever become a citizen because she lied to get a visa.

Colombia is probably going to be safer in 4 years.

[-] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

Maybe she can instead stay in the new complexes for migrants. And wonder if deportation is actually the plan when the trains arrive because maybe her education included gas chambers.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

Makes sense that they don't know how to spell 'moot', and don't care that this person's a friggin' engineer and our country would benefit immensely from their expertise.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

Her work ethic is absolutely mute.
