    I have former Latino friends, who turned to the right for weird reasons. One weirdly complained about “feminist laws”, the rest think they want to pay less taxes and though the rest are just a joke or something.

    Let’s all be honest, this time around you’re getting deported with your grandpa. It probably doesn’t matter if you’re a legal citizen or not.

      I am honestly ready for all the torture Trump will give us. Let people remember what a Trump presidency was like. We are completely at his mercy, and I hope that the GOP gets the karma they deserve for supporting the not-so-figurative anti-Christ.

      First time I’ve ever been ashamed to be American

        I’m sure not. I’ve voted against the Republicans every fucking time, but I’m still a prime target for their future concentration camps.

        It’s so reassuring to see people ready to just throw their arms up and watch innocent people have their rights stripped and their lives brutally ended.

        What, all the other absolutely absurd U.S. atrocities, at home and abroad, didn’t do it for you? Man I’m ashamed just to be your neighbour and for having our own dipshit Conservative politicians that like to cosplay as Republicans.

          Good Lord, i’m not sure you understand my position at all. I immigrated to the U.S. from a 3rd world country. You have no idea how privileged the USA is. My family and I were at the bottom 50% of the FPL. Because of the graciousness of the federal government’s grants, I was able to get through college, work in research, and attend medical school. None of that exists where i come from. We are pissing the blessing of a working democratic system away in favor of turning it into yet another authoritarian camp.

            Well of course I didn’t understand that you’re an immigrant, you never told me. Doesn’t much change my point but you can’t very well be upset because I didn’t know something I couldn’r possibly have known.

            The U.S. is the shittest developed country. People flock to it because it’s well know and sells all kinds of shit but it historically engages in some the most heinous shit it can get away and doesn’t even have the stones to admit it. There are many developing countries which they have an active hand in destabalizing, maybe even where you’re from!

            The U.S. tries really hard to sell itself as the leader of the free world but most of what it actually leads on in thay sphere is racist incarceration, illiteracy, and gun deaths.

            I’m glad it’s worked out for you, we take what we can get, but the things that country has done can’t be ignored because you managed to get through it.

    Can’t wait until they open the anonymous line to report people. You bet I am reporting everyone I know that voted for him!

    I’m kidding, of course, but it has crossed my mind…

        I work in data. I have this handy dandy datasheet from a recent election. It has everyone on it. It would be trivial to scrape out the republican voters and submit 60 million names they weren’t looking for to the list, but it’s two elections old and I don’t like playing those games. Also, they’d probably see 60 million names submitted at once and think “fuck that trash all those” if they had a halfway decent data security dude there.

        So I guess I better get started on scrubbing the data.

          Honestly, this is pretty much what LLMs and user generators were built for. A couple of the shit post subs (anything with horny on main) already have tooling set up.

          For the crowd, the goal is to clog the system in a way that is really hard to filter. You want bad data and also lots of differing types of bad data. Spam shrek, bee movie transcripts, AI generated rants, report a guy called “Lehuge” 80 times with conflicting info, etc. You know the drill.

    Like all other Trump voters who are affected by his policy, they’ll find a way to blame it on the Democrats.

    Fascists are incapable of self-reflection.

    Oh well, you get what you voted for, literally since Trump and Republicans ran on mass deportation. If it happens to hit those who knowingly or unknowingly have “illegal” immigrant relatives, oh well, that’s literally what you voted for. Then again, I highly doubt MAGA will stop at that so have fun.

    Thank God my folks became citizens.

      There was a man here who had his citizenship revoke through denaturalization. He owned several businesses, had like 6 kids. But since he divorced his first wife, with whom he had kids, after 10 years of being married, then married another person, for almost 20 years, with whom he had more kids, they decided he got his green card from a fraudulent marriage, done just for the green card.

      The whole city was pissed. But it’s been 7 years, and he is still gone.
