  • Read my last paragraph? I know they can’t vote. A lot of them still support Trump and his policies, and if they do, they can find out the hard way what those policies really mean.

    To be clear, I absolutely do not support Trump’s deportation policy. I simply don’t feel bad for those that would wish deportation on others, if/when it ends up happening to them. If you support Trump and you get deported by his policies, you don’t get my sympathies. I’m tired of playing nice with people that spew hate and only care about their own personal problems over the problems of their own community and country.

    Harris lost a lot of ground with latinos in this election:

    Trump beat Harris in nearly every major battleground state and improved among several key demographics, namely Latino voters. According to CNN’s exit polls from 2020 and 2024, Trump gained 14 points among Latinos, with Harris winning the bloc by just 6 points this week. In 2020, President Joe Biden won the Latino vote by 33 points.

    The hispanic community moved very far to the right. Yes, the ones that actually voted are not undocumented migrants, but people in their family are, and many of them do share in support of Trump

    When he spoke to Flores in March, Velazquez said President Joe Biden had treated immigrants as if they were ignorant, and that the country was worse off because of his economic policies.

    If Mr. Velazquez gets deported by Trump, I will have no sympathy for him. He even in that article says he won’t have sympathy for himself, he’ll leave the country if Trump comes for him. He literally knows he voted against his own interests and says it in the article. Why should I feel bad for that person? I’ll save my sympathy for the ones who don’t want to kick their own neighbors out.

    “It’s not human,” he said of mass deportations, but added that he has a plan if the policy affects him. “I respect the decision. I leave the country.”

    Here’s one more from Fox News talking about immigrant families on both sides of the issue.

    “So you support Donald Trump because of the economy?” the CNN reporter asked the undocumented immigrant, to which he responded, “For the economy, yes. I don‘t support the anti-immigrant action,” he said, as the reporter asked about Trump’s plan for mass deportations.


  • If someone voted or prefers for bad stuff to affect the whole country, then I see nothing wrong with preferring them to be the one to personally experience it.

    If 51/100 people voted to throw a random citizen into a volcano to make God happy, I would hope that the person that gets thrown in is one of those 51 people, and not one of the other 49.

    If someone can’t vote because but still holds harmful views, it doesn’t make them any less deserving of finding out they are wrong. If you wish harm on others, I’m not going to coddle you when you’re sad you personally got harmed.











  • Here’s the official statement

    The US business that was implicated has been named as Tenet Media, which employs Tim Pool and Benny Johnson, noted Trump supporters. Each of whom was being paid $100s of thousands of dollars by Tenet, who was in turn being paid directly by Russia. Tenet has since shut down and the creators are lawyering up.

    Here’s an article from BBC giving more details about who was involved, with quotes from the conservative influencers that took the money, and from the DOJ. I will put some quotes below but I strongly suggest you read the whole thing because it does seem like you personally have fallen victim to this Russian propaganda.

    “While the views expressed in the videos are not uniform, the subject matter and content of the videos are often consistent with the Government of Russia’s interest in amplifying U.S. domestic divisions in order to weaken U.S. opposition to core Government of Russia interests, such as its ongoing war in Ukraine,”

    The platform’s two founders “admitted to each other in their private communications that their ‘investors’ were, in truth and in fact, the ‘Russians’”, the indictment says

    Editing to add the actual indictment for you, since we care a lot about sources in this thread! https://www.justice.gov/opa/media/1366266/dl
