"I never thought they would eat MY face" A thread for Leopards and their victims

Oh they love Trump. A lot of immigrants come from authoritarian regimes so it makes sense they would gravitate towards the authoritarian president.

I think cognitive dissonance strongly affects these attitudes. But the effect can seem counterintuitive.

You leave a dangerous situation in an authoritarian country to come to the US. You’re happy to be here but then the US suddenly veers towards authoritarianism. That puts you in a mentally uncomfortable spot. How do you resolve the conflict?

  1. Accept you could be screwed if you don’t help fight off the fascists, so vote Kamala even if you would otherwise vote for a conservative because abortion or whatever.

  2. Say no, I made the right choice to come here and I did it the “right” way and the people who didn’t don’t deserve to be here like I do. I’m better than those people. Screw them. Trump might be an authoritarian but at least he’s not coming after me. Vote Trump and MAGA!

It turns out 2) is easier for a lot of people.

Purely based on feels, it is my opinion that some people who have experienced authoritarian persecution want to fight against authoritarianism, some want to make sure that they’re on the next authoritarian’s team.

well yes, absolutely. the thing you’re missing is that Trump’s idea of “trumper” and yours are different, though. If you’re not buying seven (maybe eight) figures of trumpcoin you’re not a trumper.

Yeah, I guess the question is why anyone would want to be on team authoritarian. Maybe it’s easier because that’s what they’ve known and it’s in some ways more comfortable and natural. Or maybe they just want to be the ones meting out the punishments rather than being on the receiving end. It could just be about control. If it’s not your guy, you have none. If it is your guy, you’re more in charge.

Nah that’s different. Those people have the concierge level of service.

I think there is a lower tier for the schlubs.

Beyond ironic and depressing that he hates the people who actually are willing to pick strawberries and clean toilets to give their kids a better life.

This is really a magnificent specimen. Shit for brains over here votes for Trump because she thought he was going to just deport the bad hombres. And of course her husband gets got. Apparently she never got the memo that everyone who crosses illegally broke the law and is by definition a criminal.

So husband is gone, husband’s income is gone, and she has to care for the kids alone. I’m not sure she could have fucked her family harder than Trump just did if she tried. Her life is so shit right now, I almost don’t wish anything even worse would happen to her. Almost.

Perhaps if she had gone earlier and harder to media on her pro-Trump stance, maybe she could have activated that lackey that I assume Trump has assigned to fix this kind of stuff. I doubt the lackey is gonna bring anyone back from Cuba, tho.

Fantastic stuff. The tears are especially delicious.

2019/2020 is a bit dated and a bit unconventional for the genre. Also he seems not truly wrecked the way our last idiot was. I’m not even sure we have tears. His demeanor is very similar to “I shorted Tesla because it just doesn’t make sense to have that valuation. Then it went up higher. Live and learn”.

Still enjoyable. Just wished those South Africans fucked this racist piece of shit a whole lot harder than they actually did.

I think this is the lady just discussed but this tiktok is funny.

It really is funny that it never occurs to these MAGA chuds to vet their own employees. Or when they go to a restaurant and get mad service is slow or the maid doesn’t make their bed on vacation.

Why would you assume an employer isn’t aware of their own hiring practices?

Huh?

I’m saying hotels and restaurants are short staffed because of ICE raids and that MAGA is oblivious to this.

If a business has that many immigrant workers employed, they know.

Apologies for my earlier misreading of your post.

I almost posted this yesterday but their faces are thoroughly uneaten

The couple was initially frustrated because they were having trouble getting a response from the company, but they said the company has since reached out to apologize. The company is planning to replace the watch and offered the Petits an $800 coupon to buy something else on the site.
