I bet the Trumpers are really looking forward to working as farm workers and hotel maids.

The number of Americans who don't notice this Nazi shit is too damned high.

Do rich Republican donors really support this crap?

Even if we ignore the whole “give a shit about humans” thing, have the parasites that rely on exploiting the labor of others for their existence looked at birth rates in the developed world lately? Fighting over a shrinking labor pool generally means they can demand higher wages. They should be welcoming every person who will voluntarily move here.

And the rank and file useful idiots might want to think about any sliver of a chance they have to get things like social security.

As a Native American we order all racist white people to leave now.

I was constantly reminded of my native heritage by my parents while growing up in Oklahoma; they always argued what stupid fraction of which tribe we were. Of course, there's no documentation. I did the genealogy a while back, and it turns out I'm so fucking white that I could make snow get deported by ICE; I'm, like, pronounce the H white. Anyway, so much to say that being sent back to England, while certainly a punishment, would be getting off easy, all things considered.

Edit: I don't consider myself a racist, I just suffer from skimming. I just re-read the post :(

Don’t feel sad, brother you are still a member so long as you have love understanding and a desire to learn in your heart.

As long as you try that’s enough brother.

I love Native Americans. You guys are the only ones that truely belong here. I just hope that you let us Dems and independents that hate the GOP stay.

[–] wanderwisley@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days ago

As long as we are all united together and show love and kindness to each other, regardless of our heritage or gender background everything will eventually be better for us all. It is very hard to be optimistic in these times and to offer words of encouragement, but as long as you have love and are willing to share your thoughts I feel that eventually things will improve. The power and greed of a few weak men will pass, and the power of the people will always stand tall.

I've got Cherokee ancestry back about two generations. Can I stay?

As long as you are not full of hate we are cool fam!

[–] slingstone@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Sadly, I have to work not to hate the MAGA people. That in itself makes it hard not to hate them; I don't want to hate anyone, but they are sooo hateful, if that makes any sense.

[–] wanderwisley@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago

I understand where you are coming from I live in a small town of only 4000 people and I’m pretty sure 95% of them hard-core Trump supporters. Honestly, I just ignore them and just listen to their nonsense and laugh to myself internally.

Then America truly would be great again.

The link to the Panama concentration camp article is explicit and nauseating. Y'all, it’s a concentration camp, right down to the cages and lack of food and shelter.

The USA officially has concentration camps. And since Trump has revoked the visas of international college students and immigrants who came in legally under a policy set in motion by Biden, he is preparing to put anyone and everyone in those camps.

DHS claimed Monday that "the Biden administration abused the parole authority to allow millions of illegal aliens into the U.S. which further fueled the worst border crisis in U.S. history."

How are they "illegal aliens" (ignoring for the moment the dehumanization inherent to the phrase), if they were officially allowed to enter and then did?

dehumanization

Only for people who don’t understand the term

The Morrison government in Australia told all the temporary workers, backpackers, international students, tourists to go home during Covid and Australia is still paying the price of economic dislocation. A lot of these people worked on farms, in cafes, construction, hospitals etc and we had massive problems because him thought they were a burden.

The white house account-posted video of immigrants being deported to "Nana na na, hey hey hey, goodbye" really is just, "we are inhuman and evil" in blinking neon letters.
