SunflierTrump Voter Who Regrets His Ballot Sues After ICE Smashed His Window, Dragged Him Through Broken Glass and Left Him Bleeding
“this is exactly what I voted for, but please stop doing it to me 😖”
Factually incorrect.
Donald did promise an immigration crackdown. He did not promise Gestapo-ing legal citizens. This person has every right to be pissed.
I would bet you $100 this voter would’ve reveled in watching an illegal immigrant having their window smashed out and getting drug through glass.
I’d bet another hundred they’d make a comment similar to “well they shouldn’t have been here then, it’s the law and they’re a criminal”
My wagers are based on every real interaction I’ve had with Trump voters, which is unfortunately way too many. They voted for this to happen to other people, you’re not going to convince me otherwise, but thanks for trying
Your anecdotal evidence is worthless in the face of actual lost elections and policy changes reflecting the extreme unpopularity that Donald has built among both parties’ voters.
You should check which community you’re in, my comment is in the vein and theme of this community. What are you doing here?
If you don’t hear immigration crackdown as that your brain is bad send it back.
HanrahanWhile their might be some validity in this, i think you’re miss representing your argument.
A reasonable person might conclude the deportation wss to be of criminals and there might be an expectation over what that is eg. assault, or murder etc. having a visa and having it revoked because seemingly you have brown skin then makes you a criminal, even if you’ve been there for 20 yrs, have kids etc having a traffic conviction a 15 yrs ago makes you a criminal and subject to deportation.
Trump was deliberately vague about what constitutes a criminal and left it to you to assume it was “baddies” but this non specificity should have been the red flag because it has precedence.
His popularity among all voters is still very high, something over 40%, so lots of people support the continued “gestapo-ing of legal citizens”, some continue with support even when it happens to them
Something like a non citizen with a criminal conviction having served say 18 months jail time at minimum being deported is probably widely supported, getting a speeding ticket and being deported, not so much.
