That’s what they get for choosing mysoginy.
They are idiots. My family is full of Latinos who pull the ladder from behind. They also think they could be on the same level as white people. Nope.
similar, my family is all MAGA, they don’t even live in America, they aren’t Americans, but absolutely adore MAGA.
Due to abusive ex, I live in the states fighting for my life to get a greencard so I don’t lose my daughters. My family is still MAGA.
…Why are they MAGA if that’s not even relevant to them?
Not a criticism or anything, but I find that fascinating, is all.
Racism
History is filled with people who were promised that we would pretend they were white if they just sold out everyone they cared about. Hasn’t actually paid off yet.
At the end of the day, those sorts of things always let you know who you can’t trust.
The Irish might be an exception there. See How the Irish became White by Noel Ignatiev.
And Italians!
People forget it was only like a century ago when Irish and Italians weren’t white enough for the wasps.
Not even that long ago. In Rocky, Stallone gets called slurs
They still remind us!
Depends where you’re at, my family doesn’t like the eye-towel-yans for some bizarre reason I’ve never been able to find out, but I guess that would be expecting racism to make sense.
If the current fascist project has enough legs I guarantee you they will get around to reversing that.
It’ll end as a circular firing squad of jawless, haggard, pasty-white men.
The exception to this is when the definition of whiteness had to be expanded to maintain a white majority.
And they’re all voting Republican again, because the Right To Work will to make them rich.
There’s a big “why did you vote for Trump in the first place?” shaped hole in the middle of this story. Did the reporter not ask? Did they not think it was important?
Legally documented immigrants are often considerably more strict and harsh in their views on undocumented immigrants. A very “I did it right and so should you have too” mentality. This is particularly strong among refugee immigrants (Cuban and Venezuela, for example). The problem here is the perception that undocumented immigrants are all members of roving street gangs selling drugs and murdering an raping. Farm hands and construction workers can get documentation that passes the checks required of employers. So they weren’t expecting their own employees to be swept up in it.
They’re not stupid, just heavily propagandized to where they need to experience personal consequence to reconsider. It a perfect chance to have the conversation with them to win them over.

lmk if you find a way to convince them.
I found “Hierba mala es cabezota” the hardway😔I mean some of them are definitely stupid. Stupid people exist in all population groups.
Because Biden promised to cut back on gas production in Texas.
So they’re fucking stupid then? He’s been anti-immigrant since long before he was elected. What did they think was going to happen?
Deport the “bad ones.” Not realizing that bad is having a skin colour away from mayo.
WHOMP
fucking
WHOMP
you were all warned and didn’t listen. You thought it was okay for him to subjugate “those illegals” because you thought you were the “good ones” so therefore it was okay to harm those groups.
Fuck you and enjoy not having a face
Met a Cuban last year who was a “Fuck your feelings” Trump supporter.
I think about him a lot whenever Trump threatens Cuba.
Well well well if it isn’t the consequences of their own actions.
eating of faces by leopards intensifies
You reap what you vote. When a man tells you what he wants to do, it’s best to believe him. There was plenty of warning before the election.
All the people that can be convinced they are temporary embarrassed millionaires have been suckered by Republicans, Trump most of all. Unfortunately that includes people from all identity groups, although he really convinced poor and middle class whites the most.
Huh. If only anyone could have told them…
Sometimes there isn’t enough leopard.
Catholisism is the dominant cult among them. Them falling for obvious lies is kind of par for the course
My Catholic in-laws voted for Trump in 2016 because Biden was going to outlaw Catholicism, of all things.
Overall a good thing really. Hopefully they realize before November that when MAGA say illegal immigration they don’t mean the effects on the economy, because those are actually good, they mean its effect on the demographics.
Climbed the stairs.
Voted to have the stairs pulled up behind them.
Turned out they also voted to get kicked down from the platform themselves.
Frankly, such immigrant rightwingers are the only bunch that actually deserve the tender mercies of the likes of ICE.
(And for any knee-jerking “identity warriors” out there, never forget that immigrants are like everybody else and thus amongst them, plenty of people when they think they themselves are safe from it (“I’m alright Jack”) are just as nasty hearthless and selfish “conservative” and even fascist as the Republicans)
…in my experience, first-generation-citizen demographics tend to skew hardest against undocumented immigrants; not sure whether that’s because they put in the time, effort, + cost to secure their own citizenship and thus resent those who haven’t done so in kind, or because they emmigrated to expressly to get away from their native demographic who comprise undocumented immigrants…
Yeah, my experience is somewhere in between.
First/Second Gens are anti-immigration. They’re used to political corruption keeping them from advancing. They see the right as creators of business opportunity. There are plenty of ways to exploit cheap labor and they can move up the food chain pretty quickly compared to home.
They don’t care at all about others in their situation; they’ll step on whom they have to in the move up.
Honestly, it’s the same view as a lot of the poor whites.
