I shit you not mate, an absolutely huge portion of the base that voted for Trump did so because they thought he was gonna make all the brown people disappear.
And might I add, a liberal establishment dead set on refusing to acknowledge that reality, is a big part of why this fascist movement has been so successful.
But the brown people aren't going to disappear, and neither are the queer people, and women aren't going back to being "the help" so reality is going to crash in VERY soon.
@paninid @AnarchoNinaWrites They’ll make a grand performance of deporting a bunch of folks, harm a bunch of people in the process, and spin it all as “mission accomplished,” and the cult will buy it. They are in Trump’s reality distortion field.
@AnarchoNinaWrites @ramsey @paninid good immigration being the people he can exploit?
@pwassonchat @ramsey @paninid More or less, yes.
@AnarchoNinaWrites @ramsey @paninid I still don't get how people can be ignorant enough to believe these two crazies.
@pwassonchat @ramsey @paninid fascism is at a base level about emotions, not reason. At some point fascist propagandists will even admit this, more or less saying it's about "emotional truth" and that when they lie it doesn't matter because they're speaking to a sentiment.
See JD Vance's response to being caught out on the eating pets story this past election cycle.
