i really, really need people to understand that they *didn't* vote for this, no matter how much you insist they did. insisting "they voted for this" elides the information environment that led them to vote the way they did in the first place, the thing that actually needs fixing.

100% of the people who are expressing sentiments like the woman in the article have used the phrase "one of the good ones" in a racial context.

Hey lady. YES YOU DID!

You willingly voted for this.

buddhaferret.bsky.social•3 days ago

So... it's my fault?!?

They put children in cages the last time Trump was in office. A precedent was set. There is no more "we did not know" shit. They knew but did not care as long as the skin tone was darker.

It is necessary that members of the reality-based community choose between trying to relate to the other community or, as I do, entirely shun them refusing to engage with them at all, regardless who they are.

They thought it just wouldn’t look as bad as it does. Now that reality is settling in they realize they look like monsters

wynde.bsky.social•3 days ago

Because they are, ignorant monsters

TACO is not even a republican! They are in a personality cult. If other republicans has the backbone to push him out, we would not be in this mess.

johnnynovio.bsky.social•3 days ago

One side knew exactly what Trump and his minions would do once in office, the other side didn't pay attention.

proamfollower.bsky.social•3 days ago

Actually, both sides knew exactly, but the reich side WANTED it. That some of them regret that because it's affecting them now is irrelevant.

While it's true there's an "information environment" that needs to be addressed, the problem is it begins somewhere between their own ears.

It didn't come and surround them, they built it up, deliberately.

ianxz.bsky.social•3 days ago

It wasn't like they weren't warned. They just didn't care. Usually arrogantly.

kimphilbywasbad.bsky.social•3 days ago

“Did they vote for this” raus of working, generally law abiding and contributing immigrants can be answered by a hypothetical…”would you vote for Trump again?”

None of them regrets their vote.

primeministah.bsky.social•3 days ago

yes you did, Vanessa Cowart. You fucked your own friends royal and Trump told everyone exactly what he was going to do, and you can't deny it.

Some of us hope you lose your job your car your house too.
You did this Vanessa Cowart

"I didn't go 85 mph in a school zone to hit a kid and get charged with manslaughter, I did it to get to the bar faster, so stop blaming me for the kid thing that should NOT be on me."

It seems the only pertinent ask of these folks at this point is “who are you going to vote for next time?”
Their answer might speak volumes.

I mean, what part of Project 2025 did they think was a joke? All of it? They told us EXACTLY what they planned to do, and now they're doing it.

Those who voted for it and this who stayed home will ALWAYS have this stain on their character.

kansasgirlforever.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yes they did vote for this. Trump said this is what he was going to do. He said he would be a dictator on day one, that he would deport millions. He said it. They refused to hear what he was saying, and they bought the spin the propaganda media was putting on everything.

bilt2flyhvy-in.bsky.social•2 days ago

*If* they had ZERO IDEA that this was NEARLY INEVITABLE after Dumalds CHILD ABDUCTION POLICY of 2015?

They. Absolutely. Did. Not. CARE!
Then.

As such?
WHY wud WE care about ANY clout they WISH to preserve or Face they WANT to save?

DISINGENUOUS as is. *NOW*?

I don't know how anyone couldn't see this coming, unless they just came from a parallel universe.

thejanetplanet.bsky.social•3 days ago

I don’t know. If they only watch Fox all day, they’re in bizarro cult world.

“They are deporting the wrong moms”

gettingouttadodge.bsky.social•3 days ago

Ah yes, so much better to try to save face
and hide the fact that you are an awful, racist horrible excuse of a person,
than to admit
you were (lied to, duped, fooled, whatever you need to insert here)
and now you're going to do everything in your power
to stop Trump from his evil-doing.

thelocalcrank.bsky.social•3 days ago

When are we going to stop infantilizing voters?

attackkitty.bsky.social•3 days ago

As soon as they stop being white.

moketchup.bsky.social•3 days ago

Because you didn't pay attention to every thing he said and did.

titubasrevenge.bsky.social•3 days ago

They definitely were ok with deporting black and brown fathers, which is still just as sick as deporting moms.

slkrr9.bsky.social•3 days ago

The entire R convention was a sea of people waving “Mass Deportation Now” signs. They voted for this, and they voted for it enthusiastically.
