Oh yea what did you vote for? Trump deporting immigrants other than your community?

[–] Gsus4@mander.xyz 6 points 37 minutes ago (1 children)

"'But we are hardworking people, unlike those other immigrants people don't like" 🤡

[–] TheObviousSolution@lemm.ee 4 points 28 minutes ago

"But we belong to the special exclusive club of supporters who are protected from those actions, actions that mean we will be better off even if the majority of everyone else will be worse off!" To them, they can have their lack-of-empathy cake and eat it, too.

[–] Pnut@lemm.ee 6 points 1 hour ago

History would make it clear who he is and what his intentions were. At this point we are fighting sheer stupidity. It's worth mentioning that pre-war Germany was exactly the same. How did that work out?

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 minutes ago* (last edited 1 minute ago)

Shut the fuck up.

Yes it is.

You just didn't think it would affect you so you voted to condemn everyone else

Which in that case.... You deserve this

"Because I'm one of the good ones!"

At least they're kind of waking up?

[–] fishy@lemmy.today 6 points 50 minutes ago (1 children)

Unfortunately it's only because it directly impacts them, they're still morons. The name latinas for Trump may as well be "bunch of fucking idiots."

If you voted for Trump then this is 100% what you specifically voted for. I’m tired of hearing this line, it’s bullshit. He was barking about literally everything he is doing the entire time, everyone else was pointing out that this is exactly what he was saying, if you genuinely didn’t think this is what he was all about the entire time then you are an idiot and the exact kind of tool they were asking you to be.

Fuck every single person who voted for this.

[–] Cocopanda@lemmy.world 29 points 3 hours ago

If you voted for Trump. You should get deported.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 38 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

"Latinas for Trump"

aka

The idiot girls club of America

[–] DarkSurferZA@lemmy.world -3 points 21 minutes ago (2 children)

Ok, but why idiot girls? Why not idiot boys? Or idiot transgenders? They can all be idiots too, I think it's wrong to discriminate against the boys and transgenders who can be equally idiotic.

[–] Sculptor9157@sh.itjust.works 2 points 18 minutes ago

Maybe you could look up what the word Latina means.

[–] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 minutes ago

As someone mentioned, it's because Latinas rather than Latinos. Some people have used Latinx or something similar to denote both, but I saw some backlash on that and am not sure if it's preferee. Anyway, historically Latinos denotes either male or just general pop, kinda like mankind does in English.

Latinas on the other hand is specifically feminine, so it's like "mothers against drunk driving" type organizations, specifically named to signify that it's women. so they weren't being sexist, just responding to the specificity in like manner.

Damn, that's an actual quote. ~~About tariffs, but the point applies here as well...~~ From the context, it seems he meant all the shit he's been doing...

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 13 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

Oh yeah.

Beautiful, isn't it?

Mr. President, I think what we’re driving at is that you've taken congressional authority on trade and appropriations. You fired the heads of independent agencies. You're challenging the courts right now, as you know. You're using the levers of government to weaken private institutions like law firms and universities. Isn't this seizing power away from institutions and concentrating them inside the presidency?

No, I think that what I'm doing is exactly what I've campaigned on.

Some questions later:

Just remember, every single question you're asking, I campaigned on it. I campaigned on all the things you're talking about, all the things you're asking about, and openly campaigned.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 17 points 1 hour ago

And he really did. He openly campaigned on it all, all the hate, vitriol and fascist points. He didn't hide any of it. Sure he played dumb about project 2025, but he spread all the talking points.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 6 points 1 hour ago

Damn. That's so much worse! Thank you for the context and quotes...

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 30 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

This is quite possibly the truest words that have ever come out of that creature.

[–] JackFrostNCola@aussie.zone 5 points 1 hour ago

The most face-eaten of lepoard-eaten faces.

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 11 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

He said a lot of conflicting things, people selected what they wanted to believe, and he's selecting what he wants to stand behind 😅

[–] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 hours ago

You can always rely on him being self-serving, xenophobic, and otherwise fickle.

And so the cycle continues.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 29 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

cuban latinas, your not exempt from being an illegal immigrant, as part of the white supremecist gop.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 11 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

I think we've learned its not so much about immigration/citizenship status, as it is so much about the skin hue.

[–] seejur@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Not really, Germans, Australian and French still got detained, and they were white as snow.

[–] fodor@lemmy.zip 9 points 4 hours ago

We learned that lesson 95 years ago when the same thing happened during the Great Depression. And then apparently many of us forgot it and I hope many of those people are relearning it.

[–] Atlas_@lemmy.world 18 points 8 hours ago

It is EXACTLY what you voted for, Leopard Bait.
