Not my abuela, just the bad ones.

I am honestly ready for all the torture Trump will give us. Let people remember what a Trump presidency was like. We are completely at his mercy, and I hope that the GOP gets the karma they deserve for supporting the not-so-figurative anti-Christ.
First time I’ve ever been ashamed to be American
FIRST TIME??
We don’t know their age or experience. Unfortunately, there’s going to be plenty of opportunities to catch up.
It also makes sense from the perspective that this time, the fascist might even win the popular vote. I always had that to fall back on at least.
Coming from a 3rd world country? You ain’t seen nothing yet. Trump will catch us all up to speed on how it’s going.
“First time?” meme
I’m sure not. I’ve voted against the Republicans every fucking time, but I’m still a prime target for their future concentration camps.
It’s so reassuring to see people ready to just throw their arms up and watch innocent people have their rights stripped and their lives brutally ended.
I’m ashamed to be sharing the same solar system with half the voters in your country.
Schadenfreude is a helluva drug…
What, all the other absolutely absurd U.S. atrocities, at home and abroad, didn’t do it for you? Man I’m ashamed just to be your neighbour and for having our own dipshit Conservative politicians that like to cosplay as Republicans.
Good Lord, i’m not sure you understand my position at all. I immigrated to the U.S. from a 3rd world country. You have no idea how privileged the USA is. My family and I were at the bottom 50% of the FPL. Because of the graciousness of the federal government’s grants, I was able to get through college, work in research, and attend medical school. None of that exists where i come from. We are pissing the blessing of a working democratic system away in favor of turning it into yet another authoritarian camp.
Well of course I didn’t understand that you’re an immigrant, you never told me. Doesn’t much change my point but you can’t very well be upset because I didn’t know something I couldn’r possibly have known.
The U.S. is the shittest developed country. People flock to it because it’s well know and sells all kinds of shit but it historically engages in some the most heinous shit it can get away and doesn’t even have the stones to admit it. There are many developing countries which they have an active hand in destabalizing, maybe even where you’re from!
The U.S. tries really hard to sell itself as the leader of the free world but most of what it actually leads on in thay sphere is racist incarceration, illiteracy, and gun deaths.
I’m glad it’s worked out for you, we take what we can get, but the things that country has done can’t be ignored because you managed to get through it.
Pulling the ladder up behind you like this is impressive.
I personally know a trump voter with a Latina wife (born in the US). But the fact that deporting 20 million people would mean mass arrests, chucking people in camps and figuring it out later was poo poohed away. "He would never do that… " Well that’s a bold strategy, let’s see if it pans out.
If only we had some sort of American example of how this would work in practice… Using the same law that is being floated…
But those were Japanese! That’s totally different!
Operation Wetback was more recent. It’s called wetback because our government had a sweepstakes to name it, we even had events like fairs to celebrate. People could come get some cotton candy, ride the rides, and see Mexicans in cages. Then they’d be loaded up by truck or even helicopter and deposited somewhere deep into Mexico.
And of course it wasn’t just “illegal aliens.” In operation Wetback, they all can go.
Could I get a link to the fairs? It doesn’t make the core of it any less terrible but I’d like to see more information about it before sticking that in my brain, ya know?
I’ve been looking but search engines are so bad now. I know it’s from an article / essay and might even know the name (David Gutierrez? Kelly Lytle Hernandez?) of the author.
Years ago I found more useful sources. Academics, old news with their own info to offer. Now it’s just the same things over and over.
Did you know Trump mentioned this during his campaign? I didn’t. But it’s all I can find on Google and DDG. Trump promising to bring it back. The same info rehashed over and over. It’s frustrating knowing exactly what I’m looking for and getting nowhere.
Can’t even find anything about the INS holding a contest for the name.
If you hadn’t brought this to my attention, I was going to joke that they’d name it after some slur but here we are
Can’t wait until they open the anonymous line to report people. You bet I am reporting everyone I know that voted for him!
I’m kidding, of course, but it has crossed my mind…
I have a feeling you won’t have to…
It is our duty to make such a service unusable for its intended purpose.
I work in data. I have this handy dandy datasheet from a recent election. It has everyone on it. It would be trivial to scrape out the republican voters and submit 60 million names they weren’t looking for to the list, but it’s two elections old and I don’t like playing those games. Also, they’d probably see 60 million names submitted at once and think “fuck that trash all those” if they had a halfway decent data security dude there.
So I guess I better get started on scrubbing the data.
Honestly, this is pretty much what LLMs and user generators were built for. A couple of the shit post subs (anything with horny on main) already have tooling set up.
For the crowd, the goal is to clog the system in a way that is really hard to filter. You want bad data and also lots of differing types of bad data. Spam shrek, bee movie transcripts, AI generated rants, report a guy called “Lehuge” 80 times with conflicting info, etc. You know the drill.
Post the list online, and take advantage of crowd sourcing?
It’s already online? Or was 8 years ago.
Musk will have 90,000 people report him haha
Let’s all be honest, this time around you’re getting deported with your grandpa. It probably doesn’t matter if you’re a legal citizen or not.
well that’s just reenacting the Civil War, the 2024 movie
“Deported” … from life. (It’s Fascists we are talking about after all).
Like all other Trump voters who are affected by his policy, they’ll find a way to blame it on the Democrats.
Fascists are incapable of self-reflection.
That’s assuming they have some self awareness & analytical capacity
A bold assumption!
They will be angry that it happened to them, but they won’t be able to connect the dots
This isn’t some government policy who’s effects are not incredibly transparent. This will be direct. It will be impossible not to connect the dots. There is two dots.
And yet…
And yet indeed. Fuck.
And somehow it will be the Dem’s fault
congratulations, dumbasses
you played yourself
Oh well, you get what you voted for, literally since Trump and Republicans ran on mass deportation. If it happens to hit those who knowingly or unknowingly have “illegal” immigrant relatives, oh well, that’s literally what you voted for. Then again, I highly doubt MAGA will stop at that so have fun.
Thank God my folks became citizens.
If they’re brown I don’t know if citizenship will be sufficient
boggles the mind how absolutely shortsighted trumps lovers are
I have former Latino friends, who turned to the right for weird reasons. One weirdly complained about “feminist laws”, the rest think they want to pay less taxes and though the rest are just a joke or something.
