    You’d think that Trump states would remember the very recent stupidity they went through when they passed anti-immigrant laws and lost billions of dollars when they realized that immigrants made the state go round and what Democrats say is true that white people don’t want to do those jobs.

    And then I remember they’re Republican.

      I gave on that idea after covid. If you couldn’t be bothered to put a piece of fabric over your face to protect your neighbors, it’s a lost cause.

      Most people don’t care about anybody but themselves, and possibly their immediate family. That was a lonely realization.

    I so very much want more journalists to ask Pedonald voters in such situations just what they thought was going to happen?

    Did they just think it was going to be like some Left Behind thing, but instead of xtians, it would be all the brown and black people spirited away, and leaving the economy unchanged?

      You don’t understand! Their workers are the Good Ones™, not those seething hordes of criminal rapists and murderers that Jesus 2.0 is protecting them from!

    Its would be funny if it wasn’t so rage inducting to hear these ignorant fools caterwaul about something they helped make happen. If it was just them I would still be laughing. Unfortunately all the innocent people who have been abducted and put in cages keep me steadily focused on rage.

      well said. I have this feeling all the time. I wish they could have their own seperate thing that only effected them and normal folks could have things normal. I have mused sometimes that if there is a heaven and a hell they would have the same basic setup as earth except you would only be with people on your level.

    Don’t worry, once the camps are up and running there will be plenty of “free” labor to make up the shortfall.

            I’m a socialist that grew up in the south watching my dad go from Rush Limbaugh to Fox News to Facebook MAGAdom. We went from debating policy in my teens, to debating reality in my 20s and 30s, and finally to me refusing to participate because I could see he was getting old.

            That didn’t stop him from dying in an underfunded and rundown rural hospital with Fox News blaring on the TV in his room.

        Republicans aren’t humans. They are sick disgusting animals.

        They can choose another path.

          Dehumanization is the tool of the enemy.

          Republicans are human beings, they’re just ignorant, stupid, or evil. Sick and disgusting animals to be sure, but human nonetheless.

            Don’t care anymore. Did you cast a vote in the 2024 presidential election?

            If you didn’t, you’re on that list.

              I get it, you’re burnt out. It’s exhausting fighting fascists and calling out the growth of extreme right wing views for years while no one listens. I’ve been there.

              Remove yourself from whatever direct action groups or community organizations you’re a part of. You’ll be no help in changing anyone’s mind or gaining the support you need to get the change you actually want if you continue with your current attitude. Alienating potential allies is not the way to grow a movement.

              Look at yourself. You’re saying that 231 million people aren’t people. Do you understand how that looks from a sane perspective? It looks a lot like the folks you’re claiming to not support.

              I realize none of this is likely to change your mind, I just keep hearing shit like this and this time it set me off. Sorry about that, have a better day.

                Sane? You assume your view is sane. To me, you’re not sane. So, we can toss around what is moral an immoral all day long, but you still only have YOUR OWN OPINION.

                  The view that evil people are still people? Yes that view is sane. Believing they are something other than human is at best delusional (not sane). At worst it’s an excuse for genocide (also not sane).

                  Hate who you want to hate, I can’t stop you, but don’t be surprised if you keep getting called out for it.

              Children don’t always end up like their parents. Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you keep holding onto that viewpoint, you’re as much as a piece of shit as the Magats
