    Despite all of this, Muñoz said she still believes in Trump’s immigration policies—even going as far as calling the former president “super intelligent.”

    Sharing some views of Trump’s faithful core supporters, which are disputed by many Americans, she said: “He’s like one of the most intelligent people in America. We can tell because of all his good business and all the achievements that he has.”

    “I’m pretty sure he’s smart and knows what he’s doing,” Muñoz said.

    “I was scared that any of those gang members or murderers that are coming to the country without any authorization would attack me or my family.”

    These two are a really special level of stupid

      Everyday I get closer to some reeeeal sketchy ethical disasters like wondering if the human race really has diverged into one incredibly stupid and one moderately functional sub species.

      Like, who the fuck are these braindead buffoons?!

          Alternatively we’re a hive species run by a cabal of psychopaths.

          Super cool. 👍

          (also - “fuck you I’m getting mine” seems less morally wrong when most people seem soooooo fucking dumb and useless…)

      Well now you don’t have a family in the country anymore. Problem solved?

        She does though, right? They didn’t deport all of them. She probably thinks she sacrifices herself for the others.

      No, you don’t understand, the deported wife says she trusts Trump. Never underestimate the world, it’s always capable of getting even wierder.

      I think his main cope is, “If I show respect to Trump his admin is more likely to correct the issue”.

      probably even more susceptible due to language barrier and perhaps not fully comprehending what’s being said or written… especially by this administration.

        This is very common in communities like Florida and Cuban inmigrants. With Republican commentary about communist this and socialist that all the time, and of course the native Cuban experiences… It’s a perfect melting pot of misinformation preying on personal experience and lies absolutely everywhere making it difficult to see any truth.

      In my experience, my immigrant community are easily swayed by anticommunist sentiment.

      The representative for the district near me (Derek Tran) narrowly won preaching to the vietnamese immigrant community how anti Communist he was. While simultaneously being on the left (which isn’t a high bar, he wants to do the radical thing of no price gouging and fighting big pharma).

      And white women


      These are Cipolla’s five fundamental laws of stupidity:

      1. Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.

      2. The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.

      3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.

      4. Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular, non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places, and under any circumstances, to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.

      5. A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

    This is why I tell people that “They have to feel the pain!” isn’t a solution.

    I have no problem with these cretins suffering, but it will never convince any appreciable number of them.
