    Sounds like someone is having the day they voted for.

    But also fuck him for making me have the day he voted for, more broadly speaking.

    He heard Trump describing migrants as criminals and asylum seekers as frauds and thought that couldn't possibly be describing his workers, who are not criminals or frauds.

    He didn't stop to consider that the characterization was a lie.

    No one gives a fuck that you're sad. You voted for this. You participated in harming those people. You don't get pitty for having to confront the consequences of your actions. Maybe put more thought than "I don't like taxes" Into your next vote, dumbass.

    Scardina says he voted for Trump and still supports many of the former president’s policies, but this isn’t what he signed up for. “Buyer’s remorse? I don’t know, a little bit,” he said.

    Nope. You don’t get to trot out that bullshit. Project 2025 was available online. Nothing would be a surprise if you’d been a little bit curious about it. The man is following a well-reported plan. You just lived in echo chambers that told you to feel good about him.

    Scardina isn’t alone. He says other contractors in the area are being hit hard too. “I know of one landscaper that lost nine or 10 of his whole crew he had and he’s just totally out of business all of a sudden, just like that.”

    Absolutely no sympathy coming from me.

    At least this guy seems to care about the people themselves. He's still a dumbfuck but not irredeemable.

    He only cares about the people he depends on. It's not empathy, it's self-interest. That's nothing to give him credit for, and there's no reason to believe that he's redeemable based on that.

    Was going to start with thinking that, but then watched the video. I'm hearing far more "My friend runs a land scaping business, and he lost 10 or so, he's going out of business". Then comments on how they don't live in a big city and they don't know how they are going to find people to hire. Finally in the last 15 seconds he tears up and says he got to know them as friends and he hates seeing what it did to them and their families.

    So yeah... feels like "I won't make money", "I'll lose my business", and "oh yeah they were good people who I hate to see their lives ruined".

    Reminds me of a guy who came to my door to get me to sign a survey to stop an ice cream shop from opening up down the street. Except, he started with the argument that he thought would get agreement and ended with the way it would affect him.

    He started by talking about how dangerous it would be for children because the ice cream shop was going to be next to railroad tracks.

    I pointed out that the kids who would cross the tracks occasionally for ice cream were already crossing the tracks every day to get to the elementary school. He then shared his true reason: he lived next door to the proposed ice cream shop and didn't want to deal with the crowds or trash.

    When I suggested his "think of the children" argument was dishonest, he got a bit angry with me. I might have ended the discussion by telling him to fuck off.

    He didn't prevail. Ice cream won out as it often does. When we moved here a few years before, the first thing we said when we saw that little building was that it would be perfect for a little ice cream shop.

    Isn't it also illegal to hire them? This guy should be arrested.

    I genuinely don't know what to do with people like him. On the one hand... Yeah. He knowingly hired undocumented people, making him a hypocrite, and he just voted to have those people forcibly deported against his own interests, making him a fucking dumbass.

    At the same time, he seems to be showing actual remorse, and that should definitely be encouraged. The only - only - way this country has even the slightest shot at recovery is by flipping large numbers of the orange shit-gibbon's supporters, like this guy.

    I really want to believe that's possible. I don't think it is, but I want to believe it.

    Edit: Missed the part in the article where these guys had valid work visas.

    They have work permits, according to the article.

    If they have work permits they're not illegal and shouldn't have been snatched up anyway.

    There’s many articles out there about ice and organization, grabbing the wrong people or people who are properly identified, but their actual legal status mislabeled. As far as I’m concerned, ice is completely incompetent and they shouldn’t be enforcing any laws whatsoever at this point.

    Yes, which should give ICE supporters a moment to pause and consider two things. First, anyone could be an immigrant. It could be their neighbors and coworkers. Documentation can be faked or doctored or just expired, and the immigration process is deliberately complex.

    Second, ICE isn't being careful about who they abduct and deport. There's no process, much less due process, and it can literally happen to any person, immigrant or native born, legal or otherwise.

    Steven Miller seems to be calling the shots on this, and his test is do they "pass as white"? If yes, move along, if not, arrest and sort it out later as they are potentially "monsters" and sub-human. And being wrong has so far had no consequences.

    "This wasn't supposed to happen to the nice immigrants I use know, just the bad ones Fox News tells me about!"

    That's exactly it. Fox News demonizes and de-humanizes every minority group. I remember around 20 years ago, my grandparents got an openly gay couple as neighbors. My grandparents were shocked that their neighbors were just regular people.

    They had watched enough conservative media that they had been convinced gay people were some sort of twisted abominations who were out to destroy our way of life.

    Conservative media does that for every minority group (except the rich). Gays, immigrants, single mothers, the poor, atheists, trans people, educated people, etc. You name it, Fox News and co are constantly pushing this idea that anyone not like you (their audience) are your enemies and are trying to destroy America.

    And he'll vote for them again because he supports them and thinks "they just did it the wrong way". Dude, this is exactly the way they were always going to do it, but you never listen to the other side because they're "woke". And by the time you wake up, it'll be too late for all of us. Not just the fascist USA, by the way, because corporations and their enablers now have free reign to deny science and avoid action until the rest of humanity is dying in a cataclysmic hellscape. But I'm glad you were able to avoid seeing a couple of people holding hands, I'm glad all this was worth it to you.

    I thought this was double leopards eating his face (hiring illegals and voting for trump...), but it is just one leopard, in the sense that they had valid visas and asylum applications so he doesn't seem to contradict himself, he's simply stupid for voting for trump and expecting rationality.

    Give Trump credit — he was honest about something for once.
