A man who supported and voted for Donald Trump to be the President of the United State of America is crying out for help after his Venezuelan wife was picked up by immigration officers. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids were reportedly conducted across South Florida on Sunday,...

Huh, who woulda thunk this would happen?
The man told CBS News Miami his message to the president: "If I get a chance to talk to you, man — please, man — let's work something out. Let me keep my wife here in the United States. She deserves to be here."
And he still thinks trump gives a shit about him and would even entertain having a conversation with him.
And fuck this guy... why does his wife deserve to be in the US and not all of the other people who were grabbed?
“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’m 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.
No sympathy for the husband. I feel bad for the wife for being deported AND for being married to a MAGA idiot that stabbed her in the back.
At least she’s not with the MAGA husband now. Silver lining?
It would be if they were just sending her back home, but they're going to put her into a detainment camp and bad things happen there.
Yes, technically there is government oversight, but the oversight is handled by the kind of people that volunteer to run detainment camps.
He said he would do this!! How are people so fucking stupid??
They are white and conservative and have likely never known poverty, every interaction they've had with the law has been the most reasonable and generous interpretation of it. They assumed that's what Trump meant. That Trump wanted to deport the criminal element that everyone else was specifically protecting and refusing to acknowledge. They'd never seen firsthand the law applied cruelly against people they consider to be good people. They really still believed law enforcement was there to "do good" and protect "good" people, because that's most of how they've dealt with them personally.
I agree with the great majority of what you're saying except:
have likely never known poverty
I grew up in poverty along with almost everyone else in my hometown. The whole area is super red. That's exactly the kind of thing they believe.
Not to say there aren't those kinds of people who haven't known poverty, it just doesn't seem to factor in.
Knowing poverty doesn't prevent magatism, and can actually be a risk factor for it, depending on the attitude the person takes. The idea that the "other" is responsible for all your problems specifically targets people with problems such as poverty.
