bummer. i wonder how this could’ve been prevented :/
Edit: Sorry y’all, I’ve been informed I have apparently committed the gave sin of engaging in the Wrong Kind of Fun for this Community. Apparently my shitpost comment is a “selfawarewolves” and not a “leopardsatemyface” and as such is a grave transgression. I can only hope my execution is swift and merciful lmao. o7 Godspeed comrades.
What do you mean 99.9999% of the “illegals” aren’t actually viscous criminals and it’s all just… random dudes like my neighbor Josue from Church? But he’s One of the Good Ones™ dagnabbit! I had wanted all them damned “Trendy R Agua” guys Joe Brandon flooded the country with to steal the election for the Demon Rats and bankrupt my SNAP and Medicare gone.– That guy, probablyThey can never explain to me how they actually steal the election when these people can’t vote and nobody has ever proven they do or have. Never mind the fact that these people pay into these programs without being able to actually receive them statutorily most everywhere. Or that Trump is actively gutting them.Edit: Sorry y’all, I’ve been informed I have apparently committed the gave sin of engaging in the Wrong Kind of Fun for this Community.
Yeah, you should ignore that dude. Seems to have made a hobby of telling people “That’s not LAMF” and collecting downvotes.
I, for one, thought “Trendy R aqua” was great. The Mexican branch of Hydro Homies.
viscous criminals
That’d probably make them easy to catch.
Also your comment makes no sense, because his wife isn’t ‘one of the good ones’, she’s not an illegal immigrant at all.
Methinks you might be reading too deeply into a shitpost about the politically incoherent tendencies of Trump voters. I wasn’t trying to accurately represent that guy’s arguments. I was making fun of him for missing an entirely predictable consequence is his actions.
I’m not ‘reading too deeply’, I’m just actually reading, and know what LAMF means.
a shitpost about the politically incoherent tendencies of Trump voters
Which didn’t fit the situation in the OP at all, so it’s less of a ‘shitpost’ and more of a handful of Stereotype Spaghetti thrown at a wall.
making fun of him for missing an entirely predictable consequence is his actions.
That’s called ‘selfawarewolves’, different thing.
Yeesh I didn’t realize every reply to every comment had to perfectly adhere to the topic and none were allowed to stray in any way into the realm of general mockery.
I’ll be sure to remember that in the future the next time I think about adding something I think might be remotely humorous to a discussion, and just not! Thanks for clearing that up! Didn’t know you were the arbiter of what was allowed to be commented. Won’t happen again boss.👍
Yeesh I didn’t realize I had to say things that made sense for people to not point out that they don’t
If you can’t handle being told you’re not making sense, don’t post nonsense? Just a suggestion.
Also, ‘sassy sarcasm’ makes you sound like a bratty middle-school ‘mean girl’, so if you don’t want to come across that way, I’d suggest avoiding that as well.
Oh Honey… That… that’s what I was going for yes. I’m aware of exactly how it sounds.
I had hoped maybe it might help you understand how ridiculous you were being but apparently my hopes were a bit too lofty.
Are you lost?
You voted for a man with 34 felony convictions, found to be civilly liable for rape, whose best friends were human trafficking pedofiles and called for an insurrection live on TV because you thought he would follow the law?
I might go so far as to say Trump was also probably a trafficker. I think that’s the reason he’s still scrambling to scrub everything from the Epstein files, because he knows he’s dead meat on the world stage otherwise. I’m willing to chalk up the whole “restarting child separation” thing in 2016 up to racism, but then for ICE/CBP to just brazenly state “we have no idea where they went” reeks of “we just have this black van and some of the kids go in there, and some of the kids go to foster homes.”
I just mentioned what was crystal clear before the election for even the most mouth breathing faux addict
“I Never Thought” pretty much sums it up.
No, they thought plenty.
Their hate for whichever marginalized groups they felt deserved to be hurt outweighed their thoughts of self preservation.
Its the common thread that links all maga members together.
They think someone needs to be punished, and hearing that a candidate will is all they need to know. They don’t care if on the long list of people to punish exists them or someone they know.
The goons that ICE hires aren’t bright enough to distinguish between legal and illegal. They recently tried to arrest Elaine Miles, who played Marilyn on Northern Exposure. She isn’t the only indigenous person that they’ve tried this with.

There was a Mexican immigrant at work from a more financially secure family who travelled back to Mexico for a visit right when the ICE problems were exploding; he couldn’t understand our surprise that we would risk it. “I’m not illegal, I have all my papers”. Bro, none of your white citizen coworkers think this has anything to do with immigration status, the crackdown is just about racism.
Those mexicans don’t know anything, right? jfc.
Just like some Americans come from privilege so do some Mexicans.
Some people are clueless, sure. Lumping a group like that is pretty racist.
This is like the Tejanos getting kicked out of Texas after fighting for its independence.
No, you didn’t.
He says he voted for illegal immigrants to be deported, and now he’s being negatively affected by legal immigration being hindered.
LAMF is all about voting in support of X, but assuming (without evidence) that X will only happen to others. This would only be LAMF if his wife was an illegal immigrant.
This is not LAMF.
This guy voted to deport immigrants and is upset an immigrant is being deported.
“He’s hurting the wrong people”
This guy voted to deport immigrants
Not immigrants, illegal immigrants. Stop being disingenuous, his words are right there.
I know it’s easier to win an argument against a straw man, but have the integrity to engage with what was actually said.
That last paragraph about ~“we voted maga … we want the illegals gone … never thought the leopards would victimize myyyyy immigrant” sounds so on-the-nose and oblivious that it makes it sound like a badly written fake.
But as a white USian from a conservative family, and especially during this wonderful holiday time of year, I know in my heart that I am not-too-distantly related to people who are every bit that ignorant about the world.
Illegals and immigrants are different things. Its not fake its a person being honest about their situation and feelings.

Yeah I know that. The error of conflating the two was not mine.
The underlying point – and I’m going to explain it because it is often left unsaid on lemmy and serves as the basis for sarcasm – is that the motive for kicking all the “illegals” out of the country comes from a place of hate, ignorance, and fear rather than some kind of rule of law purity.
That’s why it gets pointed out in an “I told you so” fashion when somebody in favor of short circuiting due process for “violent illegals” loses their legal immigrant spouse or gets their own US Citizen ass whisked away to another continent.
If it were about the law, they wouldn’t want to circumvent the law to hurt the “others” faster.
aside: it sucks that every time I use an em dash in a comment it makes me wonder if people will think I use some LLM crap to compose internet comments for 17 people to read, lol
Possibly. There are problems caused by illegal immigration, as well as how America abuses legal immigrants. Just because I live in a place where multiculturalism is seen as a benefit to the community, doesnt mean everyone does.
I really dont think anyone expected how the trump admin is treating immigrants, but most right wing people won’t be exposed to any media that clues them in. Thats why we see people only realize after being personally affected.
All that said, when someone changes their mind from a worse position to a better one, we should be cheering them on, not insulting and laughing at them.
There are problems caused by illegal immigration
Nope, none. There are problems caused by authoritarian and heavy-handed immigration law (this is what the H1B and exploited farm workers stuff falls under), but illegal immigration itself? Absolutely not. There’s a reason the first two laws restricting immigration to the US were the Page Act and the Chinese Exclusion Act, both targeting East Asians specifically; this shit has always been about racism.
I really dont think anyone expected how the trump admin is treating immigrants,
Yeah no, plenty of people did. He literally promised to deport millions of them.
Well, maybe the fact you can’t see how other people have different lives and live under different systems, makes it hard for you to see other perspectives.
I’m perfectly willing to see other perspectives when they’re not bullshit. It just happens that this particular perspective is bullshit. In the words of many a rightwinger, facts don’t care about your feelings. Or mine, or anybody’s. If you want more proof, Democrats, which tend to be city dwellers and therefore more likely to interact with immigrants, are overwhelmingly pro-immigration.
Yes, people who are around immigrants and find a social benefit tend to promote immigration, while those who are around immigrants and see a social detriment will be against immigration.
Not sure what point you are making though.
Fake. Anyone who actually knows the process knows that there are almost zero illegals. Immigration violations are civil infractions. Like parking tickets, or not mowing your lawn.
“A first-time illegal entry is a federal misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $250 and a maximum jail sentence of six months.”
Source: https://legalclarity.org/18-u-s-c-1325-illegal-entry-and-its-legal-consequences/
Exactly. There are rare instances of people breaking that law. It is possible to do so. But I think we know how few guilty verdicts there are, now don’t we.
Overstaying a visa, which accounts for more immigration violations than illegal border crossings, is a civil offense.
It’s incorrect to say that there’s almost no crime involved, but it’s definitely not all or most people who commit immigration violations.
So Melania isn’t actually a criminal just a civil infractor.
Oh, she’s a criminal alright, just maybe not for that reason
Well if your argument is she’s beautiful, we should see the evidence.
Seriously, if we are going to base part of our decision on the quality of her looks, then let’s get that T&A out there and on display. I mean this is the Trump presidency you voted for, you know the one where we dehumanize immigrants and women are property, so that should be fine right?
You think we’re part of the decision making team on this? Bud what are you smoking?
I didn’t vote trump, I voted for my dog. She’s the best.
I’m sorry, my response wasn’t clear about my intent.
I wasn’t arguing against you, I fully agree with what you said, and I was doubling down on the idea.
I fully agree that bringing her looks into the equation is stupid, but I also think it is symptomatic of their grotesque way of thinking. They honestly think that ugly people should be pushed to the back of the line.
So, if we’re going to objectify her, then let’s get a look at this object. If I am buying a used tv, I am not going to accept some pictures of just the remote as evidence of its quality, I want full 360 degree photos with it on and off.
U rock i love you again
