Not going to touch the documented people?
He touched you and pretended to ride you from behind while you were on stage ffs
What’s the over/under on this guy being Cuban?
I don’t want to get political literally talking about a political campaign
Just a very normal race realist having an informed conversation about how White People are superior because we didn’t see Noah naked.
She just want be racist, not political.
I don’t want to make this political
- Woman who was part of a political campaign
Because she’s still a bourgeois Venezuelan ex-pat who wants the US to rescue her country from the nasty socialists. Back home, she’s one of the whites but she’s about to learn the hard way: Caracas white != Connecticut white.
This happens so much in Rio de la Plata “Somos blancos y europeos , somos italianos” which basically means “We’re white and european, we’re italian” … but the thing they’re actually saying is “I’m not native or black, fuck those people, I’m better than them”.
When my in laws visited texas to see my brother in law though… in some rural parts, the advice was not to speak spanish.
As an Italian, I would love all the people who think Italians are white to watch “Sacco e Vanzetti”.
“Sacco e Vanzetti”.
the synopses of their story doesn’t indicate any race issues, can you elaborate further please?
At that time Italians were not widely considered white and it was acceptable to see them as prime suspects of crimes against corporate property and terrorism. Also, everyone expected the trial and subsequent execution to go down smoothly.

In my state the rednecks are harder on latinos than they are on black people in general. I think it’s simply because they’re exposed to more black people.
It’s a shame travel is so expensive. A good trip or two to centroamerica just might cure their bigotry.
Unrelated tip: Use a backslash before the dash like so
\-to preserve the dash rather than turning it into a bullet point.
During the campaign they talked a lot about cutting “legal” immigration too. You just didn’t want to hear it.

No no, she wants that too. Many that are here don’t want more, they’re competing for the same resources.
It’s the FU I got mine… Until it’s taken away from them.
“I don’t want to make this political”
What does that even mean in this context?
That she’s a moron. Which is even scarier as she’s a moron who apparently has a habit of ending up in front of microphones.
Anything against Trump is seen as political to these people. She knows she is going against the narrative and knows people are going to give her shit for it.
I have two friends that said they used to listen to NPR but not as much “since they got all political” - meaning calling Trump’s lies what they are, lies. In fact they’re pretty soft on Trump compared to some outlets. It’s frustrating.
It’s politics. By definition, it’s political, not “seen as political”
Whoa guy, can you stop being so political
Wouldn’t it stand to argue that almost anything to do with Trump is political considering he’s the president and the context here is Trump breaking promises made during a political campaign to persuade people to vote for him in a political election?
I’m being a bit pedantic here. It’s clear what she meant was closer to, “Here’s my controversial take, don’t come after me”. But suggesting that you’re not being political in an inherently political matter just goes to show how little these people actually think critically.
You aren’t paying attention.
edit; sorry didn’t mean to be rude. it doesn’t matter what’s “political” or whatever. we just have to keep a laser focus on literally evrything, as much as possible, first real real big “political” chance to fight in Congress is 2026
If only there was an abundance of evidence that Don fucks over people when they’re no longer useful to him. This poor woman. Where did I put my tiny violin?
If only a certain everyone had told them they were hated by MAGAts and were voting against their own interests.
How is it possible to be so ignorant? If you had just paid attention to him for more than 10 seconds the past 10 years, you would have known he’s against you. It’s not that he’s shy about it or something.
Most people don’t actually think. Most people have feelings that they justify.
Thinking is actually incredibly hard. It requires that you admit you’re wrong sometimes. Justifying your existing feelings doesn’t require that of you.
I’ve never been wrong. I must be the most rational person to ever exist!
Stop
captioning
every
word
individually.
It
is
absolutely
useless
and
distracting.
It’s a built in CapCut captioning effect widely used by video editors on TikTok.
Speed reader applications have demonstrably proven that people can process word sequences MUCH quicker when you show sentences to them this way.
You can be annoyed by the style and how obtuse it looks in scale relation to the actual video content, but utility-wise, it’s objectively the “easiest to digest” way to display subtitles / captions.
TIL thank you
Especially with this bounce effect.
Seriously. By the time I could actually focus on the word, it was on the screen for 2 more frames before disappearing.
This is the better way to caption things, actually. It improves both your reading speed and comprehension, especially when it’s something like this where the person is talking quickly. Something about how your brain recognizes words.
Another reminder that the only demographic of which the majority voted Trump are white people
Nah its still worth talking about, because it was the swing voters that won the election for Trump.
Comparing 2020 to 2024:
- White voters swung 1% increasing their vote to 56%
- Black voters doubled their vote (wtf) from 8% to 16%.
- Latino voters also increased their vote 8% (wtf) from 35% to 43%
- Even ‘all other races’ increased their vote from 39% to 41%.
So ‘wtf were these people thinking, voting for the leopard that says their particular faces are the most delicious?’ is a completely fair question to raise.
I wish we could see actual number of votes cast by each at m demographic… These stats could also be explained by the lower turnout, not necessarily more people voting for Trump in each demographic.
I.e.
2020: 8 Trump, 12 Biden=60% for Biden… 2024: 8 Trump, 4 Kamala= 33% Kamala Trump still got the same number of votes but it looks like he “doubled” his support

Veering slightly off topic, but I wanted to rant about it. I absolutely loathe the trend of putting each and every word on screen, one-by-one, as they’re spoken.
As someone with ADHD it’s possibly the most distracting thing with this vertical video trash format. Even worse when it’s in the center of the screen, and worse yet when it’s moving, as in this one with the huge bounce animation. Captions are useful, and vital for some people, but this…
And it seems they use “AI” for it, because it frequently gets homophones and other subtleties wrong, so now the kids who are raised by this stuff are going to have some awful spelling skills.
Alright, rant over. Gonna go yell at some clouds.
Agreed. There’s the tech to do it, so they do it. Not a moment’s thought to whether it makes the info less accessible.
2 counterpoints from down thread
She votes with her gut and is surprised when she gets shit.
she is an american citizen who can vote. is she getting deported? are they going to strip her from citizenship? or how? wtf I dont understand
They’re going door to door and just arresting anyone who doesn’t have papers right away. Do you carry proof of your citizenship everywhere you go?
You shouldn’t have to, I totally agree there. “Papers please” sounds very facist, in the real non-exaggerated sense.
Coincidentally, I do carry my US passport card with me everywhere. It’s only good for overland travel to Mexico and Canada (you still need the full passport for international flights) but it’s a “Real ID” and proves my citizenship.
You could be a citizen and know people or even have family who are not, thus making you affected regardless.
Is she an American citizen who can vote?
Or did somebody just hang about outside the conference centre offering $50 to any foreign looking people to get up on stage and spout a load of bullshit?
It’s also possible she’s talking about family members who are documented immigrants but not citizens.
You were a useful sucker and now you are fucked just like we all are.
Well, they’ll deport her before me, but yes we’re all fucked.
I gotta figure out how I can get them to deport me. I could use a change of scenery.
Maybe your cell in Guantanamo or El Salvador will have a window. Bahaha just kidding they won’t.
I think we’re getting, or soon will be, to the point where deportation changes meaning to indefinite incarceration.
Ay*
Ay ay, sir!
Eh
