Weird how trump voters only ever care about things when they are personally affected
That’s the entire conservative mindset, and has been throughout all time: “how does this thing affect ME?”
The conservative woman they talk about here is an engineer. Almost all the engineers I know work 60-80 hour weeks.
That’s the thing with lots of Americans. We work so hard to pay the increasing rent and take care of ourselves and our families that we simply don’t have the time or energy to see outside the bubbles in which we live. We don’t go through the process of researching everything we hear on the news, so we’re easy targets for propaganda - especially now that it’s got algorithmic targeting to steer specific people in specific directions.
These people really, truly believe the lies they’re told about immigrants.
Idk… I don’t think there’s a correlation between the hours you work and basic empathy
Oh, no I think there is, indirectly. If you’re working 60-80 hours a week, you have absolutely no home life and almost surely can’t grasp the concept of someone else wanting it. That is directly related to empathy towards others.
You’re right. I over simplified. Over working people is definitely a tool to make people more complacent. If you’re too tired or over worked, you’re too tired to fight (or care about others). Yay capitalism!
News from the wealthy controlled MSM is like junk food. It rots you, whereas solid information is like top quality food but it requires work and investment. Most people are just too busy and broke so they swallow the BS and keep on slaving away.
The sad part is, she agrees with you.
“I think we need some type of reform,” she said. “People don’t know about this process until it happens to somebody they know.”
Ownership of media outlets is a cause of so much of this.
How long do you think they’ll listen to you explaining all the systemic wrongs to them until their eyes glace over as there’s no simple solution?
About as long as it took me to read this.
Because that’s just how most people are.
People only care about what’s best for them and their own self-interests. The only difference is that some people think ahead or have a wider view of the general situation compared to others.
You were. You targeted voting for them.
The plan was never to target criminals, it was to criminalize the targeted.
Guess you will have to pay domestic labor rates for childcare. Psychopaths.
This is exactly what she voted for.
They see every illegal person as a criminal. Hope that clears things up.
No, see, they’re all criminals except the ones who benefit me! Those are the good ones!
They have a completely different understanding of our shared vocabulary. They live in a curated world of outrage and grift.
People can’t be illegal
So, so gullible.
“I love the poorly educated!”

They’d be alive if Harris was president.
Just like Pretti and Good.
She voted for mass deportation not criminal deportation and her cult were cheerfully holding up signs in support.
After a divorce caused her immigration status to lapse, Basele was issued a final order of removal in 2011.
She lost her status because she got divorced? The fuckin fuck even is that shit
married an american, then divorced an american, all that while not being an american herself, i assume?
Maybe people that know nothing about politics shouldn’t get a vote.
I think you just misunderstood who fascists consider to be criminals.
Trump voters are so goddamn stupid.
The people who didn’t vote are equally stupid
That people still think this goes to show you how uninformed people are. (That and Fox sure isn’t going to tell them it’s normal people, they’re going to tell them it is all criminals.)
