From the Intertubes: “I promise you that when 99% of Americans hear “mass deportations” they envision a fictional rough neighborhood in a city they’ve never been to in a state they don’t live in & will be shocked when their favorite neighborhood restaurant suddenly closes & a bunch of their kids’ friends suddenly vanish.”
Was reading yesterday about a Latino man who voted for Trump being surprised that suddenly his Trump-supporting white neighbors didn't want their kids to play with his. One neighbor even brandished a gun to scare the brown kids away.
@tyghebright @eliangonzalez a lot of people are going to be finding that Trump's promises were total bullshit and that they have been played like a cheap violin.
The YouTube channel Meidas Touch is doing an ongoing series of videos about people already finding out.
And yes, I'm absolutely indulging in the shadenfreude.
First time around, I had some compassion for people who didn't realize they'd be negatively impacted. This time, they had plenty of warning.
