Why is the US right wing so racist, insensitive, and cruel toward poor people, people of color, and immigrants?

[Anonymous]

These people treat anyone who isn't white or is poor or is a non-white immigrant like subhuman, unless of course they want to employ them and pay slave-labor wages illegally.

[Anonymous]

please. how am i so cruel to "people of color" when i'm literally married to one? !

these are all stereotypes and pretty rude to group a bunch of people like that just because they like republican policies.

let people have their own opinion! i don't care about your democratic takes. i let you choose your side, now let others be free to choose theirs. very simple.

[Amy10223]

Because that is who they are, and what they represent. There are very few Republicans who do not operate like this. Their orange leader has only triggered this even more.

Since Barry Goldwater won the Republican Presidential nomination in1964 for opposing the nascent Civil Rights Bill (Lyndon Johnson trounced Goldwater in the election, though Goldwater won his home state, Arizona, of which he was a U. S. Senator, and five Deep Southern States), the Repiglikscum have mined white grievance over us black folk's being anyone but grinning, obsequious, servile N*******.

[David318578]

Are you talking about voter ID as an example? Where the right thinks if white people are competent enough to get an ID then Black people can as well?

But the Left thinks that Black people are not competent enough to get an ID?

Is this what you mean?

It's like an opioid to there own misery. "I'll take on whatever pain so long as the others take on twice as much."

1% money. The rest have always been sheep and enjoy watching the playground bully do their thing. It makes them feel powerful however weak their position is.

[DonaldDarko]

Obviously they are not. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crljn5046epo

[exitseven]

They are not. They want illegal aliens deported. They do not belong in the country and they need to go back to where they came from. Race or skin color is nota criteria. Itis a binary choice of being a legal resident or an illegal alien.

That's not what Trump campaigned on. It doesn't matter if they're honest, decent people who've been following the rules for decades and supported Trump...

"If you live out by the Little Manatee River, in the swamplands south of Tampa, Florida you probably know the name Maurilio Ambrocio. He's an Evangelical Pastor at a local church, he's lived here for 20 years. He also owns a landscaping business, tending the lawns and yards in the neighboring city of Fort Myers.

And a few weeks ago, he was detained in President Trump's massive immigration crackdown...

[A neighbour] Johns says he was beside himself. His eyes water as he recalls when Hurricane Milton hit last year. Ambrocio checked in on him immediately. "Do you need propane?" he asked. "Do you need water? What do you need? That's the type of neighbor [he is]. This man is a part of the neighborhood." Like many in this small rural community, Johns voted for President Trump last November. In fact, he did so at Ambrocio's church, which doubles as a polling station. "I did." He hesitates. "Because I was not happy with the direction the country was going." He says he was hoping migrants in the country without papers and with criminal records would be targeted. But he says he never expected a pillar of the community like Maurilio Ambrocio would be taken away. "You're gonna take you know a community leader, a Pastor, a hard working man… What, did you need a number that day?" "

@exitseven We want racists like you and Trump to stop breaking out laws and fucking up our country.

[exitseven]

@goaded This guy had 20 years to do something about his immigration status. there was a guy in Maine with the same sob story. He did nor wan to spend money on attorneys and when ICE caught up with him he was married and had a couple of kids.. This just spits on the face of people who went through the process even though it came with a price.

[goaded]

Maurilio Ambrocio (he has a name, he's a person) did "do something about his immigration status", he was arrested on his annual check-in with ICE to keep it.

"Ambrocio had gone in for one of his mandatory check-ins with immigration agents: he has a form of legal protection called a stay of removal. That means although he entered the U. S. unlawfully he is allowed to remain, as long as he meets with immigration officials at least once a year. They ask him if he's still employed and check that he hasn't committed any crimes. Every year for the last ten years or so, Ambrocio has attended these interviews and been approved."

Trump talked about deporting "the worst of the worst", "rapists and murderers", not people's local pastor with five US children where the oldest is just 19.

[Asker]

Hey @exitseven what is it that immigrants who failed to fill out some paperwork have done to you that made you hate them so much?

[Asker]

What have illegal immigrants stunned to you or the right wing in general that made you hate them so much? You should be grateful to them for providing a whole class of scapegoats for you.

[exitseven]

@asker do we have e a nation of laws or de we just enforce the laws that we agree with and forget the rest. I would go alo g with that if it was applied fairly amd I would ot be prosecuted if I decided not to pay taxes.

[Asker]

Ok, let's enforce the law against Trump.

[exitseven]

Trump is fixing things. It was Biden that created all these problems to begin with. I know that Presdient trump says this too many times but ti is true. If he won the 2020 election we would not have 20 milliion illegal aliens on welfare and we would not be financing a war with Ukraine.

[Asker]

He is not fixing things, he is breaking them and also the law. Are you blind?

[exitseven]

It was Biden that broke our southern border. It is Trump that has fixed it in two weeks and now he is cleaning up the mess that Biden (and the autopen brigade) , made.
The Washington post cannot figure out why there has been such a dramatic drop in fentanyl smuggling and deaths due to fentanyl poisoning.
It did not take new legislation. It just took a new president.

[goaded]

You have literally no way of knowing what the state of fentanyl deaths are in 2025, there are no statistics available. Anybody telling you otherwise is obviously lying.

Taking in asylum seekers is the lawful thing to do.

@goaded www.statista.com/.../

[Asker]

That only goes to 2022, and I question the accuracy. Where and how was that data collected?

[goaded]

Like I said, there is NO data for 2025. I don't think there's any for 2023 yet, let alone 2024!

[Amy10223]

Thank you, Asker!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[Amy10223]

Exit seven, you didn’t answer any of Asker’s questions. Why?

[Asker]

@Amy10223 Because he will not admit that he too is those things.

[Amy10223]

Sadly, yes, the along with other so-called Americans who think that to be a "patriot" you have to hate people who were not born here. Every single other president has always claimed to be open to people coming in; this is a nation of immigrants. Until the orange orangutan came in, we had no no problems with immigrants.

[Asker]

There is a large group of people that believe that in order to be a patriot, you also have to be a racist. Sadly, there is a long history of racism in the US and it is being revived right now.

[exitseven]

@Amy10223 To be a patriot is to be in favor of law and order and the Constitution. Where in the Constitution does is say that millions of foreigners can just walk into America and immediately sign up for welfare and take money right out of the pockets of hard working American citizens?

[SmokinAces2000]

Because they operate on ignorance and fear mongering

[Anonymous]

I don't use the terms "right wing" or "left wing", because I could go either way, depending on the subject matter. if you mean "conservative", then I'd have to disagree with your assertion

[Amy10223]

The Republican Party is no longer the “conservative “ party. It is run by Trump. It is the MAGA party now.

[Opinion Owner]

@Amy10223 I see "MAGA" as simply a slogan (a slogan I absolutely agree with). But the R Party is definitely more conservative and Godly that the D Party (even if the policies of the current Administration aren't perfect)

[DrPepper12]

Rage, ignorance & poverty

Thanks

[Godihateyou]

They aren't. Please cite a single actual example.

[LazerBean]

We are not, you are simply mistaken.

[goaded]

So you don't approve of Trump sending innocent people to a concentration camp in El Salvador?

[Asker]

Your denial is another example of your innate dishonesty. Be brave enough to own your own shitty behavior.

[Asker]

@goaded Well... no. I do NOT.

[goaded]

I would hope everybody would agree with that, but far too many are completely fine with ignoring it, if they're not actively cheering it.

[Asker]

@goaded ya sadly.
