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.

"bUt iT's oNLy tHe dAnGeRoUs oNeS!"

I loathe law-and-order rhetoric in any nation, but most certainly in America. Tough On Crime policies have led to the dumbest fucking things that have ever existed in the United States. People are voting for a serial liar and conman who will probably ship them off to Dijbouti or El Salvador just to stay away from someone who broke the law once, or who is likely to break the law. The lesson we should all learn is to stop going nuts over "crime waves". If the news claims that crime is "going through the roof" or that there is an "epidemic of crime", make sure to remember:

  1. There are way, way bigger threats to public safety than a few gangbangers, for example tech companies, evangelicals, and Nazis.
  2. Criminals are people too. They have hopes and dreams, motives, economic conditions, and opinions. Consider why someone is committing a murder or robbery, rather than assuming it's because of greed.
  3. There are for-profit security forces and prisons that all benefit from fear of crime. The news will often blow crime out of proportion to satisfy their sponsors, and downplay authoritarianism likewise.
  4. Police officers are often just as dangerous as criminals. It's better to think of crime as a situation that can be escalated and de-escalated (cops are notoriously bad at this) than as the result of Bad People who need Good People to stop them.
  5. There are a lot of good resources for reading about crime in a productive way. Although I am not quite Anarchist, the Anarchist Library has a lot of thought-provoking material on what makes law just and unjust. There's a big difference between "murder is wrong because the Law says so" and "murder is wrong because killing people is wrong".
  6. Some people are so evil that they need to be killed, i.e. Real Estate CEOs.

Yes. Yes it is. It's exactly what you voted for. Everyone tried to warn you but you were too fucking focused on dumb, single issue voter shit. You got exactly what you voted for. Enjoy it!

I am also very confused. They had 'Mass Deportation Now' signs, but she didn't think she was voting for this. Que ingenua!

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

[–] [email protected] 39 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days 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.

Ladder pulling is a shockingly common trait among immigrants.

Bullshit. This is exactly what you wanted....for everyone else.

Which in that case.... You deserve it.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 6 days ago

If you voted for Trump. You should get deported.

I'm of Irish and Scottish decent. I'm white. As fuck. Not AF. As fuck. I don't tan, I fucking burn, peel, and burn again. All the while, I suffer.

I'm from the south. Grew up in Texas, only been out of it for less than a year and still in the fucking south - so not much better.

Even I could tell... well, anyone, not to vote for Trump. "Oh, Trump likes _______" No, Trump likes Trump. End statement. End logic. End all.

Trump likes Trump.

If anyone thinks that Trump will put them, their group, or their issue, ahead of himself then they have refused to pay attention. Not that they haven't had the chance, they have willfully refused.

I was not able to vote. Moving from Texas to Arkansas, there was in issue with my registration, which in hind-sight sounds like "I'm lazy, have some voter suppression" because I didn't have a capital T branded on my forehead. I should have fought harder, but I was more worried about a roof over my head and food on the table. Fuck me for trying to survive and provide for my wife.

End statement: Not everyone who was unable to vote was lazy: Fuck all of you who say otherwise. Some of us could NOT vote, for whatever reason.

What a goof. This is exactly who you voted for. You knew what he was going to do. He was very vocal and very public about it.

You still supported and voted for him.

I don't know how stupid you have to be to posthumously get mad that you got exactly what you supposedly wanted when you voted for it, just because it was what was clearly described, and not the rose colored picture you had in your mind of what things meant.

Get bent.

Yes it is. You just thought you were the "good Jew"

Pick up a goddamn history book. There are no safe zones.

I'm pretty sure that in the 1930's, there were groups called "Juden für Hitler" (Jews for Hitler) or similar appellations in Germany.

This is what you voted for xd, smartasa

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 days 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?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 days ago

Fuck you for campaigning and voting for the orange shitler!
