So now we're saying that nobody who's not native born should be allowed in this country," he said.

It’s so painful watching these idiots figure things out in real time. You supported a fucking racist who hangs out with racists. What did you expect?

The rhetoric was “we’re going to kick out all these criminal illegal aliens”. People being stupid as they are so fond of being, hear that as “criminals who happen to be immigrants”; instead of what he really meant which is “everyone who is here illegally is breaking the law and therefore is a criminal”.

Trump’s super power is exploiting the average person’s total lack of capacity or willingness to engage in critical thinking.

They're not discriminating. They're kidnapping people who are here legally, too.

lagoon8622@sh.itjust.works · 20 pts · 363d (3 replies)

Didn't they "deport" an actual citizen? (Yes I know that sentence is nonsense grammatically, legally, and in every other sense. We basically can't even talk about it without sounding like lunatics.)

Yes, ICE has kidnapped and trafficked multiple citizens to offshore prison camps.

Is there a tracker for how many they've done that are known?

That's a good idea.

Narcissist, yeah, but he has his fucking evil genius cronies who tell him what to do to carry out their wishes to create their white ethnostate.

He expected white privilege to save him.

Exactly that. It won't happen to me, so its fine. History keeps repeating... just worse each time.

Tbh, not even being "native-born" may cut it anymore.

Have you ever had gay sex?

Alligator Auschwitz for you.

Have you ever had extramarital sex?

Alligator Auswitz for you.

Have you ever heard of an abortion and didn't report immideately?

You may self-deport within 15 days. If not, Guatemalan prison for you.

Has your child ever gotten a vaccine?

3 years building the local Bureau of Corrections' profits for you.

And for the worst transgressors of all:

Have you ever voted blue after 2008?

Expect an ICE raid. Survivors may or may not exist.

Our media is fucking trash. Oh really, are "concerns mounting"?

Global_Liberty@lemmy.ml · 32 pts · 362d

So a woman who was eligible for citizenship decides not to apply for decades and instead commits a crime and is convicted.

Her husband then votes for the removal of non-citizen convicted criminals and lacks the minimal intelligence to realize this includes his wife.

With any luck he will join her in the UK after the deportation and never vote in the US again.

It's jokes and laughs here and there, but remember my words: he will win MORE states in 2028 than he did in 2024 and 2016.

And to those who think that he won't be allowed to participate in the elections: he will find a way.

Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world · 27 pts · 363d (4 replies)

I don't think you get how this works.

Listen to the outragous things trump says......and then he does, or at least attempts them for real.

Well in the 2024 election, he said "This will be the last election we'll ever need". Don't you get it? He has 4 years to transition from president to dictator. Officially anyways. Unofficially he's already there.

If he gets away with even running again, he'll win with 90% of the vote like Putin.

He will have Vance run with him as VP. Vance will resign on January 6th.

Thing is, even if he does this, it'll be the shortest lived dictatorship ever because there's no one that can glue the MAGAs together after he's stroked out.

Of course that will probably be even worse in terms of lives lost.

Well yeah, because they have even more power to rig it next time. Obviously.

It's not that simple. A lot of people love what Trump does

I definitely feel like crazy pills time. This reminds me SO much of the same oopsie regret posts that were going around during COVID. (See the Herman Cain awards subreddit back when Reddit was only slightly like a sewer). I know leopards have had a long and storied legacy of dining on the faces of these stupid fucks but it's really giving me deja vu, with a head shake vibe of 'holy fuck they really are both that dumb and that forgetful'.

She has resided in the U.S. as a lawful permanent resident for over 37 years and has renewed her green card twice since then

You had 32 years to apply for citizenship and didn't? Then your husband voted for the xenophobe?

Like wtf, are these people for real? Legit cannot believe people are this dumb.

32 years to file for citizenship, for someone so obsessed with "law and order" why didn't they just do it? LOL

"many individuals delay applying for U.S. citizenship due to concerns about their tax obligations, particularly if they owe back taxes or have not filed required returns. However, owing taxes does not automatically disqualify someone from naturalization if they demonstrate efforts to resolve their tax issues" Well no... but yes. Looks like they are lol wtf after all

"You look at the news, and they're not telling the truth about what's actually happening to a lot of legal immigrants," Brown told Newsweek.

Yes they are, you're just not looking at it, you fucking idiot. Probably gets all her news from Fox and Facebook.

Dude ...he also wants to remove "native born" in the US as a thing for many people.

The shocking amount of people in these situations who are like "but I don't blame Trump".

One even said it was bidens fault, for not reminding them to complete their citizenship.

The amount of rational disconnect these people have is astounding and should be studied.
