'He ran on lies!' Trump voter turns on MAGA after being wrestled to the ground by ICE

aka
NO SHIT, SHERLOCK!

'He ran on lies!' Trump voter turns on MAGA after being wrestled to the ground by ICE - Raw Story

A former supporter of... Donald Trump has come out against (him) following a heated confrontation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers near Los Angeles, where he was “wrestled to the ground” and taken to a detention center, The Daily Beast reported Tuesday.

“I truly believe I was a target because of my race,” said Jason Brian Gavidia, a Latino American citizen, speaking with NBC News Los Angeles. “I believe I was racially profiled, I believe I was attacked because I was walking while brown.”

Gavidia said he was approached by ICE agents while at his job in Montebello, a majority-Latino city, who immediately began questioning him while shoving him against a gate. The officers took his phone and ID, he said, and ultimately returned his phone, but kept his ID.

I don't believe that all these Trump voters who are complaining now thought that Trump was a truthful, decent person. They KNEW he was a liar. They just wanted him to beat up and deport people they don't like.

Vote for a violent lying criminal - get a violent lying criminal.

Logic.

Latin American immigrants think that the Trumpist-American white supremacists think they're white!
How wrong can you be.
There's a fair bit of racism in Latin American communities but it's quite variable country to country and hard to map to the estadounidense version. I think that aside from the lies this was carefully played by the Trump election team.
Hope the learning sticks.

I don't unusually use the word "illegals" but I'm quoting the relatives of people deported by Trump who turn out to have criminal records - some for domestic violence - and who are undocumented.

What did they think would happen?!

... so they've been lied to not only by Chump but also by their own priests.

It's sad that many Catholics gave up their liberal and progressive beliefs, because the Church teaches them that "Abortion is a sin. The Dems are FOR abortion, and Repukes are AGAINST it. Therefore, vote R." This ridiculous brainwashing has been going on for over 50 years. They've been played.

27. Republicans aren't against abortion
Tue Aug 12, 2025, 11:03 PM
Aug 2025

in the sense that their bamboozled constituency think they are. It's just that they are FOR power and CONTROL, and use abortion as another means to achieve it.

If their concern were really for the fetus, then why is all of their policymaking detrimental to the children among us? With regard to prenatal care, immunization, child nutrition, healthcare, gun control, protection against child labour, social services and support, etc. etc? Where is their Christianity when it comes to support for them and their families? THEY DON'T CARE.

Just like Trump doesn't really care about anti-Semitism. It's a political ploy that he believes is advantageous to him and his goals.

If he did care, then why does he surround himself with fascists, racists, bigots, Hitler apologists, and supremacists?

Where is his condemnation of THEM?

Why, instead of bullshit about windmills, and restoring Confederate monuments, isn't he up all night on his rag of a platform denouncing the hate based rhetoric, or saying of how that all white town in Arkansas that forbids Black people and Jews, "Is a disgrace."

"It's a disgrace! It's a disgrace!" Right.

Seems a lot of stuff that SHOULD be "a disgrace" ISN'T, with Trump and his Klan.

That's because they're full of SHIT.

Many bought into the HATE: of belittling, delegitimizing, disparaging, "othering," and looking down the nose at somebody ELSE (minorities, women, gays, undocumented immigrants, the homeless, the poor, "those people"....)

under the DELUSION that doing so made them "one of the boys." Under the ILLUSION that it somehow gave them "membership," as it were.

THEY WERE WRONG. Trump & Co. will NEVER accept certain groups of people as one of them. It's all an illusion, until they don't need you anymore.

But hey. Not to worry. The newly awakened can express their outrage at BETRAYAL come next election.

Oh, wait.... there may not BE ONE.

I remember the same under Bush W. There was a guy that praised bush for the stimulus check, and said he put in a new porch and invited him over for a beer.
Bush declined saying he didn't drink anymore.

Bush couldn't care less about that guy's new porch, hanging out with him, etc. But that was one of the people who was swept up into the "w" illusion. And before long, w's work would crush our economy, and send us to the brink of another depression. Thank god we had Obama next up to bat.

I still can't understand why Obama is so friendly with that guy. I guess it's for the good of the country. :/

34. Bonhoeffer on folly:
Tue Aug 12, 2025, 11:41 PM
Aug 2025
Folly is a more dangerous enemy to the good than evil. One can protest against evil; it can be unmasked and, if need be, prevented by force. Against folly we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it; reasoning is no use; facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved — indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions ...

If we are to deal adequately with folly, we must understand its nature. This much is certain, that it is a moral rather than an intellectual defect. There are people who are mentally agile but foolish, and people who are mentally slow but very far from foolish. We thus get the impression that folly is likely to be, not a congenital defect, but one that is acquired in certain circumstances where people make fools of themselves or allow others to make fools of them ...

The fact that the fool is often stubborn must not mislead us into thinking that they are independent. One feels in fact, when talking to them, that one is dealing, not with the person themselves, but with slogans, catchwords, and the like, which have taken hold of them. They are under a spell, they are blinded, their very nature is being misused and exploited. Having thus become a passive instrument, the fool will be capable of any evil and at the same time incapable of seeing that it is evil. Here lies the danger of diabolical exploitation that can do irreparable damage to human beings ... we have to realize why it is no use our trying to find out what “the people” really think, and why the question is so superfluous for the person who thinks and acts responsibly ...
