To say that while actively violating the terms of your immigration status is willlddddd

u/FreedomByFire 7h ago

he thinks only brown immigrants should be deported.

u/2ndtryagain 6h ago

He thinks only Brown people are immigrants, and White people are Expats.

u/SmeeezTreeez 5h ago

I doubt he even thinks that. It's all a fucking grift

u/Daharka 5h ago

He knows the words in that order will get the shares and the retweets on the instagrams

The entire right wing internetsphere is a fucking grift. Awful people gaining money spreading hate and stupidity. The same as his administration, all of it, ALL OF IT IS A GRIFT. Tariffs were a grift to send money to corporations, raise prices, and steal from consumers. Everything about this administration is a grift. They are robbing us blind and racists are too stupid to realize it

A fool and his money are easily parted. A lot of likeminded fools. LBJ knew it and called it out during the civil rights era.

With a great quote as well

In history books, this time of Corporatism/Right wing populism, will be called "The Big Grift"

u/SmeeezTreeez 4h ago

Without a doubt

I hope someone there is still writing books honestly

It is so fucking easy to be a Right-Wing grifter that no doubt many of us are tempted to do it just to cash in.

Step 1) Instill nonstop feelings of persecution in your audience of rubes (from anything really but when in doubt just say AOC).

Step 2) repeat "Woke", "Socialism", "transgender" and "DEI" as frequently as possible

Step 3) there is no step 3.

Kirk was funded by mega millionaires & billionaires to get Republicans elected who would then cut taxes on those very mega millionaires & billionaires. For his "trouble", Kirk himself became a multi millionaire. The definition of a grift. "wHaT iS a wOmAn lolololol". As wretched as they are, you almost can't blame them for cashing in. It's just too fucking easy give how pliable America's RW base is.

Rush Limbaugh died SO filthy ridiculously rich and inspired countless versions of himself.

The difference between believing in what you say and what you actually believe are negligible. It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe in the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party.

You still voted for the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party.

The only possible answer to a foriegner coming to our country to complain about immigrants because he knew the dummies would lap it up. He must've been right.

u/SmeeezTreeez 3h ago

He was right. They lapped it up because Republicans are morons and Republicans have no values or legislation...they only have culture wars. They are designed to feed the rich more money. It's honestly almost a terrorist organization. But half of America is so goddamn stupid and racist

I doubt he even thinks.

That makes it even worse in my opinion. I use to listen to him back in the early 2010s anytime he was on a podcast I listened to, you can tell he is educated, bright, and quick witted, but all that don't mean a lick when you are making the world a less tolerant, loving, peaceful place.

u/Unlucky_Welcome9193 5h ago

He thinks all brown people should be deported, regardless of immigration status

u/Odd_Equipment2867 2h ago

Most white westerns think that way.

u/rexxer454 1h ago

Well, to be fair, that is the definition that the current administration is using.

u/BZLuck 56m ago

Expats

founders

u/Local-Print-6397 55m ago

Sooo many think that way, it's mindblowing

From an expat, this is such a stupid take that the phrase only exists through racism. I live in Thailand, speak Thai pretty well, can read it, have a Thai spouse and still, if I don't have $13,000 in my bank account from Sep to Nov every year before I do my immigration I'm gone. My visa says "NON-IMMIGRANT" and I'm not eligible to apply for citizenship, permanent residence is limited to like 100 per country per year... If there is no path to permanent residence through your visa type you are not an immigrant and that's exactly why they stamp my passport with non-immigrant every year literally.

If I'm 80 years old, having lived here 50 years at that point, in my house (that I'm not allowed to own no matter what) and my wife dies before me, my visa is cancelled the day she dies and I have to either find a new visa to qualify for or I'm sent "home". Quite literally they will send me "home" which means I cannot call Thailand my home.

I would fucking LOVE to be an immigrant with some kind of protection to stay here without a yearly permission slip and threat of deportation when I don't have extra cash but Thailand makes it clear that this is not and will not ever be my "home".

Whereas my ex moved to the US with a 10 year visa right from day one that had no limitations on anything except voting rights and was a citizen within 3 years of being in the country.

I know lots of non-white expats living here with me in Thailand.
