Immigrants who supported Trump "liberating" their home countries have a special place in stupid people Hell.
Let's also not pretend for even a moment that these stupid motherfuckers were ever planning on returning to their home countries, even if they were legitimately made free and democratic. They scream for war and liberation that they have zero real stake in, and would never themselves participate in.
Chicken-hawk pathetic stupid fucks through and through.
The sheer amount of immigrants and POC who supported/support Trump is wild
In my personal experience, racial minorities who, at least, supported Trump in 2024, have the archetypical personality of a manipulative abuser.
They are arrogant, they are borderline or outright narcissistic, they look down upon everyone else around them, they are perpetually disruptive, they truly believe they're the smartest person in the room, and everyone else feels colossal relief when they leave.
Single-issue voters who also like narcking illegals.
This comment makes me sick.
I dislike Trump as much as the next guy, but for Iranians this is their home, their culture, their families. Of course they wanted to believe it would be liberated. Of course they bought into Trump’s lies because this is the closest chance at freedom they’ve had. What choice would they have? No don’t fight the authoritarian regime that displaced them?
Kindly go take your racist-ass victim blaming elsewhere.
~~Bro, if they paid attention to literally anything trump has ever done they would have known better.~~
~~It would be like trusting trump to babysit your 12 year old daughter and being surprised when she's sold to a billionaire.~~
I misread the original comment and thought it was about Iranian Americans voting for Trump.
Orif they payed attention to the genocide in Gaza
You aren’t wrong, but you can’t blame them for celebrating their regime being overthrown and supporting the Americans even under Trump. What’s the alternative, root for Iranian supreme leader?
~~They were talking about Iranian Americans who voted for Trump, which I think is where the confusion is from.~~
Nvm, it was me who read it wrong. You're absolutely right.
So you want to defend people supporting colonialism and genocide? Make it make sense, thanks.
I’m not saying any of this is justification for what Trump is doing, just that it’s understandable why people who fled their country might be excited to see change happen. So much so that they would willingly cheer him on. I had an Iranian friend flat out tell me the Americans could take most of the oil and it would still be a huge win for the Iranian people compared to what they have now. They want their freedom. They’re happy to see the guy who kills people getting killed, and I think there’s room to empathize there.
Does that make sense?
