George and Esmeralda said they both voted for the first time in 2020, and then again in 2024 – both times for President Donald Trump. They said, as they’ve watched his mass deportation effort unfold in immigration court and at workplaces, seeing the majority of people detained without a violent criminal record, they both have come to regret their votes.

“I feel shame, guilt and anger at the same time because of the promises that he made that he lied to us about, going after the worst of the worst,” George said. “He lied on those and he stole our vote.”

When you only listen to conservative media that presents one side and believe that anything presenting a different view is "fake news," it's easy to be manipulated. At least some people are finally waking up to reality that they were being lied to and manipulated.

That is .... exactly what I am talking about.

Paying so much credence to one biased source that you lose any sense of reality even while people are TELLING YOU what will happen.

That is the kind of stupidity that put us here.

How can they be THIS FUCKING DUMB?
