He’s also gay which makes his support for trump extra stupid

I work with a person like that and it’s driving me up a wall.
He starts arguments for the sake of arguments. He is extremely vocal about anything that he knows will cause any sort of disagreement with anyone. Actively looks for ways to pit other people against each other. Endlessly talking shit to and about everyone. Just an annoying, toxic person. Leadership sees him as harmless, but he is a real cause of a lot of drama in the workplace. Usualy not Involving him directly, but often caused or stirred up by him. Motivated entirely by two things, his amusement, and his money. Everyone else just exists in his world to amuse him.
collage educated, smart, reletivly successful. But fucking toxic.
My point is you are absolutly correct. These people exist. They are emotional stunted and live for cause problems for others. It’s kinds funny for a little bit but gets realy fucking old realy fast.

Ever played undertale? The only unrealistic things about flowey are the murder and the being a flower thing.
I’d like to see the information environment that made this guy a Trump supporter.
What did he see? Was he deep in Facebook? Twitter? Local stuff?
From what I understand, Republicans, especially in Florida, put out political ads targeted specifically at Cuban immigrants. They play off the inherent hatred of communism in this demographic to convince them to vote against the “radical Marxist Democrats.”
Could just be stupid.
environment that made this guy a Trump supporter
A LOT of Immigrants and Illegals in the US are very pro-Trump. I spoke with a few in my old neighborhood to get their take.
They said that the government didn’t worry them because it wasn’t that far off from where they came from. They felt elitism created niches where someone knowledgeable could profit. Party of the entrepreneurs and all.
Two said they didn’t want any more immigrants here, they felt pressure from the incoming immigrants to take their places and out-compete them for work.
Because this was the last trump presidency, there was less deportation talking. I’m sure that gave some concern, but If I had to guess based on their psyche, I’d say they expected the deportation to lighten the low-hanging fruit and take the pressure off their own jobs at the same time, expecting them would just be ok because they were always ok.
expecting them would just be ok because they were always ok.
And therein lies the problem. “It’s always been good for me so the suffering of others doesn’t bother me.”
Works even for inmigrants
I get the concept of the meme. There are a lot of people out there ‘worried’ about immigrants taking their (absolutely safe, no fucking way they are going to get that job) jobs
However, fresh immigration does drive down the pay for trade work in areas where immigrants are skilled. Bricklayers, Drywallers, Painters, and Guys slinging up ductwork are getting paid peanuts.
Immigrants coming in do compete for the jobs other immigrants already hold. Any if their status is in question, they’ll work even cheaper.
That’s not the concept of the meme, you have 100% missed the point. Or rather, that’s expressed in the meme. Yes, “foreigner” would want a cookie which the white guy has. But your conception is still that they’re fighting over that one cookie, while the rich dude is actually hoarding all the cookies. You have fully fallen for the propaganda.
I get the concept of the meme.
-proceeds to not understand the concept of the meme and repeat provably false anti-immigration talking points-
Is this the literacy crisis everyone is talking about? Chat, are we cooked?
Wait, hold on, this person was actually here illegally (not passing judgement) and openly campaigned for someone who was talking about deporting people?
Edit: Fix typo

He’s an anti-communist who thought he was the right kind of refugee.
Keeping in mind refugees and asylum seekers are not illegal.
Unfortunately for his dumb ass, Trump didn’t just not reinstate the Wet Feet, Dry Feet policy, he specifically complained about its existence (despite it ending under Obama)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_feet,_dry_feet_policy
But, also, he’s literally a criminal and a scammer so while this is still a Face Eating Leopard situation it’s not * just* because Trump is a racist.
so this is not an issue of stupidity, just a scammer seeing the opportunity to and trying to board the mother ship by kissing ass (like many other scammers and billionaires) but failing miserably. I am sure when ICE came to get him he was shouting “BUT I SUPPORTED TRUUUUUMP”
The Cubans thought they were safe because they’ve been staunch Republicans. One of the key demographics in keeping Florida red.
Well, now they learn. And for people thinking oh they’ll release him when they find out they can’t deport him because there are no flights to Cuba…
ICE asks where you’re from but they don’t take your word for it. They can easily decide you’re from anywhere else, like Haiti or El Salvador. And with quotas they are now incentivized to do so, rather than before where the paperwork incentivized them to accept you were not deportable.
I always thought it was funny Cubans voting Republican. I am told it’s because they fear socialism because of Castro, so they vote for fascism. Even though the DNC is still far into the capitalism territory. It makes no sense to me.
The first wave of Cuban immigrants to the US came immediately after the revolution, and it was mostly rich people. Castro was redistributing the land and the wealth, executing former police torturers, and going after crime lords who had been safe under the Batista regime, and every worm that could escape did so. These types were allowed into the US for their propaganda value because of course they wouldn’t have any trouble going on TV and talking about how horrible communism was and crying about how their plantations were taken away from them by the government. That group of rich people and cops was already right wing by American standards when they came here, and set the tone for all Cuban migrants who came after.

LMFAO 😂
I could easily find articles on his being in custody, but I didn’t find any references for his Trump support. Where should I look?
Do you have reason to believe that the image at the top of the post is fake?
Or are you one of these rightwingers who thinks Musk’s salute wasn’t nazi and holding a Trump banner doesn’t mean you support Trump?
Djeez, little quick on the gun, aren’t we?
Yeah, an unsourced screenshot is a little light on detail for me. And I’d like to share the story further, but for that I want more context. Also, I’m interested to learn more about this, just because I find it an interesting story…
Lol the reason is because there are a lot of people who would love for this to be true, you included. Also your false dichotomy is so bad I’m wondering if you are a bot.
“I’m on of the good ones!” They scream as they are being put into an ICE van!
“I voted for Trump!” They plead.
“I’n here legally!” They cry.
ICE cares not for their screams. For ICE only cares that they are non-white*.
*Don’t worry white immigrants. One day, you too shall be deported. Once all the non-white people are gone.
OMG he must be so happy right now.
“Trumpy, you got some ‘splainin’ a-do!”
Famed Nixon and Reagan supporter and Cuban nobility exile Desi Arnaz. His pastimes included drinking and prostitutes. He’d be a trump man.
Edit: fun fact, his family went into exile not with the Cuban revolution with Castro, but the one that put Batista in power. His father was part of the corrupt Machado government. People were not happy with the aristocrats being fat and happy during the depression. He liked to portray himself as a rags to riches story but curiously also went to one of the most elite private Catholic high schools in the states with Al Capone’s son in the middle of the depression. Give me a break.
Fuck him and fuck ICE.
they’re together now. rule 34?
I’d feel sorry for the guy, but he literally asked for this.
but I asked for it to happen to other people!
[Scene opens on a wide, desolate savanna at dusk. The camera slowly pans over a leopard lying under a tree, its large body barely able to move. The sun is setting, casting a cold, dim light over the scene. Soft wind rustles through the dry grass. The leopard’s eyes are dull, its breathing labored.]
Narrator (soft, somber voice): In the wild, leopards are meant to stalk, to hunt, to climb. But for some, this is no longer possible. These are the leopards of the forgotten savanna… the ones who can no longer live the life they were born to lead.
[Cut to a close-up of another leopard, this one lying next to a watering hole, panting heavily. The camera lingers on its enormous, bloated body, its paws barely able to reach the ground. The leopard’s eyes seem vacant, devoid of the wild spark they once had.]
Narrator: Overfed and unable to move, these leopards have been left to a slow, painful existence. They can no longer hunt their prey, no longer climb the trees to escape danger, no longer feel the thrill of the chase. They are trapped in their own bodies.
[Cue the soft, mournful opening chords of “Angel” by Sarah McLachlan. The camera slowly pans over a third leopard, sluggishly trying to rise, but its massive weight prevents it from standing. It lets out a heavy sigh, its once-strong legs buckling beneath it.]
Narrator: They are the forgotten victims of a world that has abandoned them. Too fat to run, too weak to fight… These leopards are slowly fading, one breath at a time. They need your help.
[Cut to a shot of a leopard staring out over the savanna. The camera lingers on its face, eyes half-closed, its expression one of quiet resignation.]
Narrator: For just $3 a day, you can provide the care and support these leopards so desperately need. A donation will help give them the chance to live a life of dignity. Help them find their way back to the wild they were meant to roam.
[The music swells as the camera fades to black, and the words “Your donation can make a difference” appear in white text on the screen.]
Narrator (whispering): Please, don’t let them suffer in silence. The time to act is now.
[The music fades out, and the SPCA logo appears in the corner, along with a toll-free number and website for donations.]
