    The propaganda riddled mind… “he’s only going for the criminals my brother isn’t a criminal why was he grabbed off the street like he was?!.. yes i voted for Donald Trump… who is the one doing this”…

    And still unable to make the connection. He voted for racism. Trump told him he was going to do this. What did he think “MASS DEPORTATION NOW” meant when he saw those signs at his rallies? Sounds like he thought they were “the good ones”. Clearly he’s not familiar with conservative nuance.

    He is having the day he voted for. Maybe now that he has touched the hot stove he can consider that the lies he has been hearing about other peoples of color might be more similar to his brothers situation than “they are all criminals except for my brother.” I won’t hold my breath though.

    Even his comments here show an irredeemable nature as I’m sure his idea of “criminals” follows the same conservative “unless they are in my in group any person of color is likely a criminal” bullshit that they just love to apply to the world. Like a reverse benefit of the doubt.

    He can’t wait to call ICE on others but is surprised others see him and his brother as criminals through the same criminal lens. I feel no pity for this man, and only pity for the brother if he didn’t support this shit. Otherwise he’s just enjoying the fruits of his political endeavors and I definitely prefer when those consequences also fall on those who are not victimless themselves.

      MAGAts are so fucking hopeless. Had a relative the other day saying they ‘heard’ pritzker was gonna tax camp fires.

      I asked them if they knew what bill it was part of, or what was actually going to be taxed, because you know, you can’t realistically fucking tax a camp fire. You could add tax to wood… But then you can just put a hotdog in a stick and suddenly it’s a cooking fire, not a camp fire. I outright said, "that sounds a lot like MAGAt trash’

      So after more questioning i finally asked if they learned it from a Facebook picture with text on it. Ding ding ding!

      Yes. They literally believe any stupid shit you post as long as it makes them angry. There was a bill proposed (HB 4459) with vague wording about a campfire tax. Pritzker didn’t propose it, and the bill got voted down earlier this year.

      And yet MAGAt trash is still out there lying their ass off about it because they don’t have any actual policies or platform.

        They’ve been conditioned to get dopamine from outrage over decades of right wing propaganda. That’s why they want to be angry and jump at any flimsy excuse to do so. It no longer has to even be believable. If they weren’t such pieces of shit, I would pity them for being reduced to anger zombies.

      Frankly the guy sounded very simple and unable to put together the consequences for his actions. He also is convinced it’s actual criminals and Trump has a list of the criminals to collect. Some Trump voters are just plain gullible.

        My uncle is the same way. Thinks all they’re doing is rounding up the criminals. He has literally said that hard working immigrants should be allowed to stay. But Fox News isn’t showing that so he doesn’t see it.

        All Trump voters are gullible.

        I’m not the smartest person in the world and I could smell Don’s Con’s (or was it his shat-in diapers) from miles away. A simple search would have brought up tons of allegations against him prior to any attempts to run for president and allowed you to build a character profile within 10 seconds. Every single trump supporter is a moron of the highest caliber and I stand by that. Fuck each and every single one of those dumbasses.

        They do have lists of criminals. The thing is that the easy-to-find criminals were already deported.

        What they have now are quotas - aggressive quotas. And when you’re filling an aggressive quota, you go for easy marks.

      Well see conservatives feel anyone here illegally is breaking the law (ie a criminal) he just didn’t understand that.

      But missing the racism well that just reminds me of a black man I once knew who hated black people and was full on racists against his own people. He literally argued how the Civil War was about states rights not slavery.
