“I never thought that it was so easy to take freedom from anyone,” she said. Mr. Jindra, too, was nervous. “We are living in fear in my own country,” he said.

That isn't exactly how it went down though, Brent. You had ample warning, but insisted on not thinking.

And now your wife is having the life that you could not be stopped from voting for.

Two in the thoughts, one in the prayers.

I’m only doing my job

I have heard that one before, like 80 years ago, but where?

Only until it affects them do they realize rights are for everyone. Bit by bit, things will turn, but boy is it taking a long time.

You know what?

Good. If that’s what it takes for him to understand that he’s a shitgoblin for voting for this, well… that’s what it takes.

The problem is that even if it turns on many of them personally, it still won't stop them for voting for the same policies next time.

They are like Wiley Coyote. No matter how many times they fail, they just assume they can overcome the error next time.

He’s gonna vote Trump a fourth time.

See every fuckin Republican is dumb AF

“I never thought that it was so easy to take freedom from anyone,” she said.

Despite all the warnings and history, somehow.

^^^^^^^^^^^🎻

Would still not be small enough if markdown worked that way 😂

“She did not jump a wall, she did not swim a river,” he said. “She came in Trump’s beautiful, big front door.” His wife got illegally arrested and detained and he's still talking like a fucking retard.

Maga and Patriot are considered compatible?

At least they are applying the rules to the guys who voted for them.

Anotha one

Poor MAGA, go whine to all your MAGA friends. I'm happy when bad things happen to traitors, racists, misogynists, incompetents, and pedophiles, like you.

Dumber than a box of rocks.

There's a spider hiding in the box.

"He was a boy, she was a girl, can I make it anymore obvious?"

My quick read is that he assumed he and his family would slip between the cracks because he's privileged and he is used to that general sort of thing. First they came for the latinos, but I was okay with that because my wife was not latino.

In a more general sense, there was and has been a ton of disinformation targeted at, how shall I say this nicely, low information voters. While we can all admonish that in a myriad ways, I poke around in a lot of different little internet bubbles LEMMY included, and based on that I can honestly see how common and easy it is to get caught up in such a bubble unknowingly. Obviously we should all be seeking verifiable facts as we make decisions like who to support in politics and who to vote for, but as with everything in life, the lines there are often blurry in the best of times, let alone when entire facets of the societal machinery are purposefully operated to mislead you.

Must be nice to have a president who actually follows through on his promises, and does exactly what he said he'd do.
