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.

@ramsey @paninid That may well be Trump's plan, and it's a hard needle to thread so I have no idea if it'll work or not.
But Musk clearly didn't get the memo because he's out in the public discourse trying to realign what "woke" means to nazis and talking about "good immigration."

@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.

@ramsey @paninid cool. Thanks for your input and have a great day.
Ben Ramsey
@AnarchoNinaWrites @paninid I doubt the majority of his base is even aware of the controversy. Even if they are, I see no reason they can’t rationalize this all as “legal immigration” vs. “illegal immigration.”
AnarchoNinaWrites
@ramsey I'm not a therapist and I don't have much use for "it's hopeless the nazis will win forever."
So I don't begrudge your cynicism, but I don't really have anything to add or any way to help you with that. I'm not offended, I'd just rather be having any conversation besides the one you seem keen on having.
Ben Ramsey
@AnarchoNinaWrites @paninid Sorry. It wasn’t my intent to offend. I’m in a very cynical place right now.
AnarchoNinaWrites
@pwassonchat @ramsey @paninid More or less, yes.

@AnarchoNinaWrites @ramsey @paninid good immigration being the people he can exploit?
AnarchoNinaWrites
@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 on on the eating pets story this past election cycle.

@AnarchoNinaWrites @ramsey @paninid I still don't get how people can be ignorant enough to believe these two crazies.

It’s vibes, all the way down.

@pwassonchat @ramsey @paninid Yeah well I mean nazism never "makes a country great" again - it ends in dead nazis in ditches; every time.
But you sure as shit can seize a lotta power and wealth dealing in "emotional truth."
Pwassonchat the enby catboy
@AnarchoNinaWrites @ramsey @paninid sure, but you don't make a country great again just by believing very strongly in it. "Emotional truth" shouldn't stand to the slightest hint of critical thinking, meaning critical thinking is absent.

Great book fwiw; I mean I absolutely think Stanley's SOLUTIONS to the problem are bonkers liberal nonsense. But his analysis of specifically "how fascism works" is objectively brilliant.
AnarchoNinaWrites
@pwassonchat @ramsey @paninid No, they make you fight them. That's how it works. There is no point where the nazis are going to look around and go "wait, I'm wrong and this is a disaster." They will double down and try to rule the ashpile.
The last time things got this out of hand, ending them (such as it happened) too tank divisions.
Pwassonchat the enby catboy
@AnarchoNinaWrites @ramsey @paninid can we skip the deportation of minorities and go straight to the dead nazis in ditches please? 😅

America is doomed,
I don't have any stats on how much of a financial contribution that people who are gay, bring in to the economy, but given that a vast majority of working age, probably work (lets assume the rest are either school age or retired) then the number is significant from a very wide range of fields.
So for each gay person that the GOP gets rid of, they will need to replace with another worker with the same skill set, experience and qualifications, of course given all the other groups they want to get rid of, it leaves people who are white to fill those jobs, leaving out the white people who are educated, that leaves Red supporters, the very people who got rid of everyone else due to their bigotry, lack of edcation etc.
So if that is what is left over, then the USA is doomed.
Probably of no consolation but hold your head up high, you are valuable and worth something, ever forget that, The game is not over till the final whistle, never give in to hate.

If his recent spat with MAGA posters is any indication it means "him and people who work at Space X/Tesla."

Illegal immigration creates a class of undocumented uncitizens that can be treated as subhuman. This class is exploited ruthlessly.
You can see this doesn't narrow things down. 'Good' immigration probably means 'white & limited'
