When you see innocent people being sent to a hell hole concentration camp in El Salvador, you are horrified.
But the thing that most people in the USA still don't want to reckon with, is that *more than half* of the white people in the USA see the same exact images, *and like it*.
They love it.

It should further horrify us that trumps appeal isn't exclusively to white people even though those are obvs. the people he loves.
... and they're Hispanic and Trinidadian.
Now, Bonhoeffer would have disagreed with me and said they're stupid, not evil. BUT he also felt stupidity was worse than evil, so that's not a shining endorsement.

*DOGE
*Tariffs
*"Immigration policy"
Go and find a source that *you* trust, and report back.
I think you'll see that they don't support DOGE or tariffs but do support "immigration policy"
Policies like family separation are less popular.

I'm saying that *specifically*, after seeing what this admin's DOGE policies mean in practice, and what the tariff policies mean in practice, and what the immigration policies mean in practice, people were asked if they support what this admin is doing.
If we can't have an honest conversation about that, this isn't going to be a fruitful conversation.
We don't have to argue. I'll just say "you're right!"
Be well.
I am in the 37 percent against, but that’s n=1.
DP = displaced person

Period.
And here we are.
Still way too high.
Not voting Americans. Multiple organizations have done surveys specifically asking about support of these policies. The survey was not limited to voters.
Find a source that *you* trust, and report back here with the number. We'll see if it's higher than 25%.
Sure, a lot of white people suck but it’s not the majority.
I don't think we can get anywhere without changing some of them
ok dude how do you think they ID the 'bad' ones....
The father of this white woman enlisted in WW2 to fight this very thing, and yet I even have family members trying to justify this.
I remember history class in school where everyone was saying, 'how could this happen?'
We are seeing it in real time.
This isn't deportation.
It is disappearing people.
It is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
My other focus is that 1/3 of today's white people will ALWAYS favor this kind of cruelty, and we have to build a coalition without ANY of them in it.
🙂
I'm just a dude on the internet. Assume that every dude on the internet is lying!
Find a source that *you* trust, to answer the question: what percent of white people surveyed approve of these "immigration policies?"
Reply with *your* answer and source.
Well they are not human.
The world can be so kind and so awful.
I guess I hope that enough would change, learn.
I wish you peace.
The desire for predigested, easy answers is why folks can be so easily manipulated by lying demagogues and fall prey to thinking AI is smart.
If we don’t do our own thinking, how could we trust our conclusions?
Ok, yes, these are the same people who held out for 60 yrs thinking once we had all the information on JFK the world would change axis.
That shit IS SO NEFARIOUS. Most don't even know they do it, cuz they "mean well"
Supporting him gleefully after everything he's done? That's dangerous and terrifying 😵💫
What percent of white folk surveyed believe that Trump is "doing too much" when it comes to deporting immigrants? Pew asked that specific question in March. Pew makes this a little tricky to find as they try to hide it behind "party affiliation"
THEY ARE WEAPONIZING THE #PatriotAct AGAINST CIVILIANS. THEY ARE USING #AI.

Holocaust historians have documented well the *even more horrifying* "banality" of how evils like this come to pass.
There are, of course, far too many people who get a sadistic thrill out of such things, but that level of inhumanity is likely in the low teens.

Is re-education even possible?
More than half the nation has no idea what DOGE is, who Garcia is, what tariffs are, what Signalgate means.
They are checked out.
FAR more people who couldn't tell you the three branches of government or who is President right now than supporters of this shit
Several organizations have done specific surveys on support for this admin's policies, now that people have had a chance to see what they mean in practice: DOGE, tariffs, and "immigration policy."
Take a few minutes and try to find a survey from an organization that *you* trust, that surveyed this, and report back here with what you think the accurate number is.
I won't push back.
Cant explain how many friends and family have NO IDEA what Trump has done or is doing. In any way. Not one detail
The disconnect is jarring
Like if you ask someone, "do you agree with Trump's immigration policy" they will happily answer. But what do they know about that policy?
But seriously, fuck them fascist cunts who like this and think it’s funny.
I said that more than 1/2 of white US folk, when asked what they think about this admin's "immigration policies," after having seen how horrific and cruel they are in practice, support those policies.
And it is more than 1/2.
Many of them do not reject this behavior at all. Cruelty is their and many’s idea of leadership. They voted for Trump because he is violent.
And they lapped it up like so much sugar.
Remember ...

I grew up in Virginia and I know just how racist these people can be. They are the children of the same angry white folks yelling about the integration of the schools in the ‘60’s.
I’m against my whites and for the others because they’ve been morally right every time.
They LOVE it because it feeds their sadistic lust for harming Black & brown folk.
Racism is at the root of everything that's happening and racism is why Trump got as many votes as he did.
More than half of American whites voted for white power, privilege & keeping Black folk down.
eventually they'll realize the hard way that racism and bigotry doesn't make you a "winner", quite the opposite
question is, will we still be standing?
I have countless examples of White people who *aren't* MAGA, but they also don't recognize just how racist MAGA is.
Which condoning racism is a form of racism.
All this affirmative action, DEIA, and Meritocracy lies from these damn Nazis... Ugh.
I've been slowly learning how to use my privilege in more impactful ways, and am always open to learning how I can do more.
We were scouting areas that we'd like to move, and she accused us of "not doing enough."
1/2🧵
My FIL is MAGA, my ex BIL is MAGA, I've lost 3+ good friends to MAGA over the years.
And my wife and I stand up to them, always.
We aren't reforming randos online.
As if kindness to obedient slaves erases violence to escaping ones.
I never know when I'm going to encounter random MAGA racism here, but I have to call it out much more than many whites in deep blue areas understand and want to admit.
Use a recent survey, Feb or March.
Yeah, that’s bleak. Thanks for opening my eyes and eroding the little hope I had for a better future. I’m still gonna keep working and fighting for better, but this tells me we gotta change something about the way we’re doing this.
Much more than enough? Absolutely.
These people are garbage:
but the number is too high if Anyone is not offended and horrified!
Torture is wrong.
Torturing the innocent is so much more wrong.
But I am sure that every racist did vote for trump!
Even though these are your own friends, family, and coworkers.
Not rhetorical: go and look up what percent of white US folk support these "immigration policies"
I feel the majority is silent and racist assholes are loud.
Luckily I am also kind of an asshole.
Y'all never learn.🤷🏿♂️
You are convinced that you are right about racism (which you don't experience, and haven't studied academically).
I Want to believe it is not as widespread as it appears and feels to those subject to it constantly because it gives me hope we can beat it even as USA embraces hate and rejects logic and science
What makes me hopeful is the knowledge that the more students are taught about slavery, civil rights, the holocaust, etc in school, the less fashy they are.
I can't walk into the cockpit of a plane, and tell the pilot that I think she's wrong, talking about "Everyone thinks they're right about wind shear!"🤡
That's not how things work
lol
Yay?
And white women voted for Trump almost exactly as many times as white men did.
Conservatives are only 30% of humanity. They're just louder, and more ruthless.
I voted for Kamala, then watched the Dems vote against our interests and try to play nice with fascists.
If you think that information is "unhelpful and distracting", congratulations on your privilege.
I enjoy no such luxury.
Dems vote against their own interests? I must've missed that day.
Of course there are conservatives in the Democratic party. Some eventually switch. Others do not.
But the fact remains that 30% of humanity is conservative and desires (actually NEEDS) authoritarianism. The rest do not.
Very sorry. (Not sorry)
I'm fucking HORRIFIED by what I'm seeing.
I'll be in the streets April 19th.
Around Obama’s first election, I thought that crowd had shrunk enough to no longer be a threat…I was so damn naive. They’re the white majority.
If we win, we can’t let this go down like reconstruction. We can’t allow these fucks back into society.
The question is "What percent of white Americans support Trump's 'immigration policies?'"
Whatever source you find that you trust, I will not push back on your number.
Report the number back here
DOGE and tariffs are very unpopular.
How about Trump's "immigration policies?"
Phrasing matters.
Similarly, you'll find different results depending on how the immigration question is phrased.
Maybe go back and read what I wrote in the original post more carefully?
Did you not see the word "white?"
It wants you cynical, so that you stay on your couch.
It wants you afraid.
MOVE!

#April19th
Millions in the streets!
They're absolutely aware of it, and exploit that. And when those of us with a soul are horrified, they rejoice at "owning the libs."
Cruelty is not only the point it's a political strategy. And an effective one.
