They told you they were going to do this. I had to dig up an older comment of mine and am just sitting back in terror watching it all occur in real time

Women: he told you he’s taking your rights away and is already letting you die in hospital waiting rooms

Tradesman: he told you overtime and unions are gone

Veterans: he told you he hates you, pissed all over the sanctity of Arlington and is gutting the VA

Hispanics: he told you you and yours are getting deported and doesn’t care if you’re legal or not

Those on social security, Medicare, Medicaid or ACA: he told you he’s cutting/gutting these

Anyone with ties to Palestine: he told you he’s going to help Israel finish the job

Palestinians: he told you he was gonna build condos on your graves

Yo he really said that, literally? If so that's ice cold. No heart

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Not literally, but has actually expressed two ideas:

That once the conflict is "finished" the coast would make a great place for vacation condos
That Israel should finish what they started and "clear out" Palestine.

He said he would do this!! How are people so fucking stupid??

They are white and conservative and have likely never known poverty, every interaction they've had with the law has been the most reasonable and generous interpretation of it. They assumed that's what Trump meant. That Trump wanted to deport the criminal element that everyone else was specifically protecting and refusing to acknowledge. They'd never seen firsthand the law applied cruelly against people they consider to be good people. They really still believed law enforcement was there to "do good" and protect "good" people, because that's most of how they've dealt with them personally.

I agree with the great majority of what you're saying except:

have likely never known poverty

I grew up in poverty along with almost everyone else in my hometown. The whole area is super red. That's exactly the kind of thing they believe.

Not to say there aren't those kinds of people who haven't known poverty, it just doesn't seem to factor in.

Forgive my ignorance, but doesn't marriage make her a citizen

[–] cheers_queers@lemm.ee 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

[–] Bransons404@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)
