    Let’s go for the liberal scadenfreude. Deportation of Latinos is OK if one of their family member voted for trump appartently

    Disguisting community. Same level as the people who comment “SEE WE TOLD YOU TO VOTE FOR OUR GUY NOW ENJOY THE BOMBS IDIOT” under every Gaza news, completely oblivious to the fact real people are dying

    It’s easy to blame her, but, buuuut, it’s not as if she had anyway to know that tRUMP was incompetent, abusive, untruthful, and racist.

    Ok, fine, yeah he was like that in his first term as ‘president’.
    And, yeah, there was all that incompetence, abuse, lies, and loads of racism…oh so much racism…in the 5 or so decades before his ‘presidency’ (info that was/is easily found by a quick search on the internet) but is it really her fault that she willfully ignored the fat orange cunt? Is it?
    I mean, yes, it is. Obviously it is completely her fault, and she should be haunted by what she’s done.

        If you read the article you will notice that 46% of latinos voted trump. Also the article doesn’t say only she voted for the orange pestilence.

        People suffer and the worst for me is the people like her then going on social media seeking mental support for the clusterfuck she helped create. I feel sad for every member of the family who didn’t vote for trump.

        Anyone who actively voted trump in my eyes is directly responsible for so much suffering and more is to come. So no, no sympathy for trump voters because anyone could easily evaluate trump before they voted and he did nothing to hide what a asshole he is.

    “This is crazy, we voted for Trump, we trusted him, his word, what he promised Latinos,” she said.

    And what promises were those, exactly? What Trump promised latinos was to deport all the other latinos they don’t like.

    That’s Trump’s magic. He tells one group of people and says “I hate the same people you hate.” Then he goes to another group of people and says the same thing. Eventually he’s convinced everybody he hates everybody, but not themselves.

      Yeah, but he does it on live TV. If they willfully ignored aaaaaallll of the signals… I hope they have the day they voted for.

    I want to be sympathetic, but… even if she voted for him because he promised to only deport the serious criminals… what about the everything else he promised? What about his track record on just about any promise he’s ever made?

    I don’t generally begrudge people for being misled, but I can’t concern myself with their plight when all my effort is going to protecting my family from the danger they exposed all of us to.

      “we trusted him, his word, what he promised Latinos”
      They were lied to. The Democrats took them for granted, and the GOP ran ads all over spanish speaking media… even in other countries.
      He told them he was only going to deport serious criminals… he told english speaking people that they’re all criminals, and all getting deported.
      I mean, it’s naive, but he didn’t deport that many people during his first term… back then he was focused on building a wall and keeping people out.

        Nah. He relied heavily on the misogyny and anti-queer bigotry of many Hispanic men. The people who were genuinely misled are not the majority; they just thought the trains would stop before they got to them.

        It is more than naive. Willful ignorance. Trump was crystal clear about his views on immigrants. She knew exactly what she was doing.

          he was very clear when speaking english.
          it was a different message entirely in spanish, with nobody challenging him.

          i don’t see why victim blaming is so fun for you, but for me i see someone heavily deceived, who is now losing her family by the person that tricked her.

          she is more of a victim of trump than you are… just because p.t. barnum fooled her doesn’t mean she deserves it… also her family didn’t vote at all… there’s no room to gloat here, it’s just pure tragedy.

            No, we had all of Trump 45 to know exactly who he is. Fool me once and all that. If you looked at Trump and thought “Yeah, I could go for more of that,” you weren’t lied to. You went back to the abusive relationship after we expended effort to get out and now we’re all back in the shit.

    Hello, CGP Grey here, with a sheet of A4 paper, which is a special aspect ratio that remains the same shape when doubled in size to A3, or cut in half to A5, into quarters to A6 or eighths to A7. It’s such a hypnotizing effect, that you can keep going…down…down…down…to the size of a bee, the size of the organs of the bee, the cells of those organs, the molecules of those cells. Just ten doublings down and the lights go out, as we hit the limits of anything that could be called human vision. Turning on magic science vision, we see DNA, the instructions of life, and the atoms that make it up. Falling through the electron shell and then twice as many doublings in scale as we’ve already gone we find the nucleus of the atom, tightly packed protons and neutrons, each made of three quarks, at which point we fall down, down and down and down to the basement of existence to reach the Planck length, the smallest distance the universe can contain, which hints at a reality pixel, which we probably shouldn’t think about. At this scale, at the bottom of reality, there is…nothing here, except for the violin on which I shall play you a sad little tune.

      Well, what has Kamala Harris done to prevent the deportation of her family? Why didn’t she warn the public more that trump would do this? In the end, it’s her fault this happened!

    The headline is a fucking lie according to the text inside.

    However, I didn’t know this:

    Trump received about 46 percent of the Latino vote in the last election, according to The Washington Post—a record number for a Republican candidate.

    Any non-whites that voted for Trump can go fuck themselves.

      This article lacks a lot of internal consistency. Also, how is she “A Mexican living in America” if she voted? She either is an American citizen who voted legally, or a Mexican woman who admitted to voter fraud. I highly doubt the latter.

        I think Mexican is also considered a heritage and not just a nationality. So, you can be “A (person of) Mexican (heritage) living in America (as a citizen)”.

          Dual citizenship is a thing. She doesn’t necessarily lose Mexican citizenship when she became a US citizen (assuming she acquired US citizenship via naturalization)

        She’s afraid they’re going to be deported, they aren’t being deported.

        She has not learned her entire family is going to be deported.
