OMG I visited my grandparents this weekend and they were literally frothing on the topic if immigration. The apartments going up next door? Its the immigrants! The traffic were sitting in? Also the immigrants fault!!! Safeway doesnt have hand held baskets anymore. IMMIGRANTS took them away!

Almost all Americans arrived in the past via migrant caravans. Donald Trump is a second generation German American via Canada. He’s also the son of a KKK proud father but I guess the basement dwellers don’t care about that much.

This is barely parody. It's maybe 10-20% more dumbed down than actual GOP rallies and press events. They really just recite the talking points like this whenever they're asked anything. It never stops being surreal that they actually manage to convince so many.
bigk001
notice how the Right went from "deport illegal aliens" to now they are all like "deport migrants"...?

I kinda wish I’d used this version of the video, I could have used some of the extra footage and time.

Just remember the republicans have had bipartisan supported opportunities to pass legislation in the last year to address border control and child tax credits to help the middle class and they didn’t do it because trump said not to. It’s almost like they want to weaponize issues instead of solving issues.
jimmyriba
Yes, Trump needs immigration problems to be as bad as possible. Solving them hurts him. Solving it before he becomes president hurts him even more.

Like when Obama ran on codifying RvW, or Biden ran on a Public Option.

This meme is still true. (Also, I always like seeing your posts, it was a nice surprise to see your name in the comment section.)

Only idiots believe that it is the people sneaking across the border that are driving up prices and not the oligarchs at the top giving each other massive bonuses and raises every year without fail. -.-

Remember the time illegal immigrants were responsible for like 4 murders over the course of 6 months in a country where we have an average of like 50 homicides per day? It's clearly the immigrants killing everyone.
IdiotPatrol
They've been running an ad here in Wisconsin against Tammy Baldwin, saying she's soft on immigration because an illegal killed a girl like 10 years ago. Like do they know how many murders we have in Milwaukee every year?
MasterChristopher
Got a source/timeframe for that? :O Not that I doubt it, but I wanna be able to back it up when I use it!
Letstrythisonemotime
I don't. I remember my father freaking out about the rape and murder of a girl by 2 illegal immigrants I believe. Then another murder involving a police officer I believe. He kept going on about how they're coming here and raping and murdering us and I was like "Dad...we are in Memphis...there were 3 homicides last night alone and a dozen shootings. The immigrants are not who you should be fearing.

fr some people need to watch true crime shows more often because the real problem to women in this country are boyfriends and husbands.

Neigbour lost his job because of immigrants over a decade ago. Asked him why he blames the immigrant and not his boss for hiring them in the fist place. The brain short circuit that question imposed is something he still has not recoverrd from.
JustUsLeagueUnlimited
Plenty of people lost their jobs to immigrants. Poor Ivanka losing all those handjobs to Melania. But, Trump, a man of his word, brought those jobs back to American porn stars.

It's a bit like blaming women who "sleep their way to the top"
Why are you blaming women for taking an opportunity and not the bosses for putting more importance on sexyness and not actual qualifications.
Aelonwy
They believe men have different needs, & thus are (or should be) excused from the fidelity clause, also women who compete with men in men's spaces are making themselves available/accessible & the men in those spaces "deserve" to treat those women as sex objects. They believe working women "want" to be used by the men in authority over them for sexual purposes. Its how they view the roles of men & women. Promoting the women though is over-rewarding them for their "services" in their view.
PoliticalWanderer
Not to mention that the bosses are usually extorting those women, so it’s either do what they want, have your career derailed, or take a chance on a lawsuit working out in your favor.

You could follow up with "how shitty were you at your job that a person that a rapist, murderer, freeloader who only wants to live off benefits, who cannot speak English, does not have documents" got your job?
Although maybe that would kill him, and you do not want that on your record.
The Schrödinger immigrant is such a fun trope, they are too lazy to work, but also steal all the jobs. Really highlights the intellectual level of the mouth breathers.
certainlynotaserialkiller
and yes, he is a mouth breather. and his truck had a 10" lift, bald tires and never more than 10 bucks worth of fuel in it. the dude was a poster boy for his kind of people.
certainlynotaserialkiller
he actually said all that crap before i asked him that. he got replaced by a mexican and he used every trope you can think of. me asking "the question" basically broke his brain and ended the conversation.

I am sorry you were exposed to this. It is such a depressing moment when you realise these people actually exist.
But here we are.
certainlynotaserialkiller
over half the neighbourhood was like that. dont live there anymore. it was litteraly too depressing.
