“I was a Trump supporter,” he said on Wednesday. “I voted for Trump last election, but, because I thought it was going to be like ... against criminals, not every Hispanic, Spanish-lookalike.”
WHAT IN THE SWEET MOTHER OF FUCK MADE YOU THINK THAT, IDIOT?
Consequences. He doesn't know what that is.

See #3 then #1.
These are Cipolla's five fundamental laws of stupidity:
-
Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.
-
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.
-
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.
-
A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.
Seems like a lack of loyalty. Needs to support him even harder, and offer up his children to be taken away, too. And then brag about it. Why change course now?
🤦♂️
(I have no words...)
Since you're out of words I'll just leave a few here for you:

Two in the thoughts. One in the prayer.
Fuck em.
Let me list all the problems I have with Trump voters being deported:
The problem I have is if they do it to one group… they’ll do it to everyone.
Trump should triple down and deport everyone except him and musk. Then we can watch them both rattle around an empty country.
Naw.
We should tell him that we built an island and named it after him. And please let us take you and musk there.
(And then dump them with the other trash in the pacific garbage patch.)
Absolutely zero sympathy whatsoever. This is the “find out”.
I work with a lot of legal hispanic folks in a deep red state. They all voted for him. Now they are all afraid of this exact thing happening. I'm probably the only person in my office that voted Harris.
Do you rub their noses in it at all? Because I know I would.
Call ICE and let them sort it out

Perhaps someone should define this term racist that they keep hearing much about.
Racist :
adjective
characterized by or showing prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized. "we are investigating complaints about racist abuse"
noun
a person who is prejudiced against or antagonistic toward people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized. "he has been targeted by vicious racists online"
Now that’s an updated meme. Shiny. Updated for 202x
Too many pixels!
The original was from 1997. Maybe it was about time we switched to an updated version.
Not a generated shitgloss version. Anything but a generated shitgloss version.
There’s also a flat version.
There's also the official Lemmy UI emoji 
Just start typing :pikachu: and select it from the dropdown.
Cries in mobile…
Pure Art.
Why would you think that based on what he’s been saying? Idiots.
Every person who has this “realization” that trump will be bad for them deserves to be smacked by everyone who wants to.
As a brown person.... Lol for him
Who could have known... Unless they listened to anything Trump said
I have some sympathy for low information voters - a whole party and propaganda mechanism was moving behind the scenes with outreach to each community smoothing and re interpreting what he was saying specifically for any number of audiences - “he doesn’t mean this, he means this”. He’s a joker and a comedian he doesn’t mean x, he only means y.
To the poor he promised cheaper eggs. To the arabs to stop Israel’s war. To the hispanics to deport only the criminals. To the blacks jobs and security. To the whites to put them on top. To the unions better pay. If there was a lie to be told to a group of people he said it and if he didn’t the mechanism that was talking to that demographic did.
So it was a pick your own adventure - made you feel like you were on the inside, they’re slowly realising they were the mark of the con.
They don't listen to what he says. They listen to what they want to hear.
Damn wish they would have just reported him anyway.
77 million more stories like this one, please.
Not like everyone was shouting to the airwaves this was going to happen.
I don't care if he's brown, black, Chinese or wherever from. If someone deserves it, it's people like him.
welcome to the world you voted for. this little detour accompanied by some humiliation, light petting and bondage, may not be your only one. enjoy!
