This has to be a skit. I say all the time that there are 3 types of people that voted for trump. People that are bigots, immoral or stupid. If this is real, then she is in that 3rd category.

(49,765 posts)I know of a Trump lover who is also illegal. Shell change her tune when she and/or her son are rounded up.

(2,715 posts)and if that was me, knowing the person was illegal and was a trump lover, I would be thinking hard
about turning them in. It would get one trump lover out of the country. Hell, if you're in Mississippi, wait a few weeks and you may be able to
collect $1000.00 bucks.

(24,211 posts)While I don't have empathy for anyone who voted for FOTUS, my heart is crushed for those that didn't and will be deported or irreparably damaged as a result of our new reality.

(68 posts)this is what happens. If you're a young person just watching 30 to 120 second videos on social media and taking that "news" at face value, you'll get these types of results. There's life beyond social media...for those who care to take the time to stay informed. My Latino friends in the DMV (DC, Md, VA) are first and second generation American citizens and they loathe the MAGA Latinos (especially the supporters who are undocumented). I'm concerned for my naturalized Latino friends here in Va but if you voted for this Orange Shit Stain, you reap what you sow. No take backs.
And this young lady's tears will fall on deaf ears on both sides. The right doesn't give a shit about you and the left is tired of hearing this bullshit story over and over.

In this video she said she came into the country illegally, and then says she voted for Trump.
Does that make any sense to anyone?

She voted for trump to deport her grandpa and now she's crying. Not sure what she was listening to all this time. Maybe the promise of cheap eggs or no boys in girls' sports made her forget that trump wanted to deport her grandpa and all her friends that are undocumented.

(48,888 posts)I thought I heard her say "I came in illegally," but I listened more carefully, and you are right.
I wonder why she voted for Trump? She never said.

(6,633 posts)I don't know if she falls into the far right group that is discussed here . But there is a disconnect somewhere that would cause her to vote for trump knowing that she has family members that would be at risk.

(73,094 posts)And the Black woman's commentary is spot on. I'll add that of the two communities the Civil Rights generation (and I think, prior) and LBJ zeroed in on *VOTING* and, more than that, recognizing who the enemy is (hint: The outward bigots but also the community's SELL OUTS) - but the Hispanic community at large, while a Dem constituency, has lagged behind in *VOTING* and in staying educated on the history and in radar-ENEMY, and I say that they are nearer to the subsistence level that focuses on day to day survival and not the
Big Picture of those other things.
So the commentator is spot on, and if she is part of an organization that put on a skit to lecture the Hispanic Drumpifsts, GOOD JOB!
tulipsandroses
(6,633 posts)Not the commentator.
It is very common to have mixed status families. Her grandfather is undocumented, her parents may have been born here, thus she and her parents are
" safe", but dear old grandpa and her co-workers that did not show up for work are not.
Did she think trump was lying when he said mass deportations? Did she really think they would pick and choose? Those are the good ones, those are the bad ones. ?

(3,369 posts)that all her Hispanic friends, male and female, refused to vote for Harris because she was a woman and many voted for Trump.
UTUSN
(73,094 posts)never vote for woman/Hillary for both being woman and Hillary. Afterward when i had stopped talking to him for 3 months, he said he never votes was just pulling my chain (but his "reasons were true anyway) . Currently into a 3 years' shunning for different but related reasons.
