"I don't regret the vote," Bradley Bartell said after his wife was detained by ICE as they returned home from their honeymoon.
Summary
Bradley Bartell, a Trump voter, says he does not regret his choice despite his wife, Camila Muñoz, being detained by ICE after their honeymoon.
Muñoz, a Peruvian citizen seeking a green card, overstayed her visa due to the pandemic. Bartell criticized ICE’s inefficiency but still supports Trump, hoping he improves the system.
His story highlights Trump’s mass deportation policies, which have led to arrests of nonviolent migrants and even legal residents.
Muñoz remains in ICE custody as her case proceeds.
IDK, I think this is a great example of how insidious the republican propaganda truly is. Going by whats in the article, it seems like he really does love his wife. The issue seems to be that he's fundamentally an idiot he really believes in the myth of Trump as the maverick beltway outsider who's lack of government experience means he's the only one able to clear up the injustices and inefficencies of our current government.
Speaking with Newsweek, Bartell described the emotional toll of watching his wife being detained. "It's all been a nightmare really, taking things as they come and moving forward," he said. "We have an attorney. The system for getting people through seems to be very inefficient, so it is taking longer than it should."
Regarding Trump, Bartell said: "He didn't create the system, but he does have an opportunity to improve it. Hopefully, all this attention will bring to light how broken it is."
Seriously, this is what they believe. MAGA voters aren't the crazed immigrant-hating bible-spewing few that grab attention and make such a convenient person for us to hate, they're average people who can generally identify the injustices of the system... but have been sold the idea that, somehow, trump is going to fix them. And not just fix them, fix them so the people who let them get this way will be punished for their willful nay intentional neglect and therefore geit their just comeuppance for all the cruelty they inflicted by being such jews greedy, lazy, people.
.... yeah, so this guy is a Grade-A imbecile, but hes been drinking a very cloying brand of kool-ade that presents the cruelty as anyone else's fault besides the republicans.
This is how all of these creatures are... They will never admit they were or are wrong. Trump is a disease that rots their brains.
I say this as someone with family that voted for him. There's nothing left of who they are. Many were extremely religious Christians... I say were because worshipping Trump like they do is 100% against the teachings of Christ.
This whole movement is taking over people's entire identity. It's sad, and frustrating, and fucking disguising.
This should tell you everything there is to know about MAGAs. They will gladly put their own wife in custody to supplicate to the orange cult of Krasnov. Superman fought for truth Justice and the American Way, and none of those are part of Trump's America.
Let’s assume he actually loves his wife, and then let’s assume she gets to stay, and gets her citizenship or a green card. Will he still support Trump after the third or fourth time ICE picks her up? They don’t seem particularly concerned about whether the person they’re abducting is here legally or illegally.
this is the thing with fascists. their spite driven voting will not stop just because they're suffering, just so long as people they hate are also suffering. telling fascists their actions will have consequences will not dissuade them from taking those actions. it's more valuable to explain how systems that stand against fascism will benefit them. tell them the left wants to pay them money to buy groceries, tell them the left wants to increase their take home pay, tell them the left wants to give them freedoms and power against their bosses they don't have.
fascists understand the system to be a zero sum game. they think the left wants to take from them and give it to others. they don't understand the left wants wipe the slate clean and remove the game from the table, replacing the game with food and drink.
you can't move them off their spot by telling them fascism is a scam. they know it's a scam. but it's the scam they know and their propaganda streams are telling them the left has an even worse scam. i know it's scary, and we'll never move everyone off their spot, but we have to wake people up. as someone who was woken up, these were the strategies that worked for me
"Bartell went on to say, "Hey...It's cheaper than a divorce. m'iright or m'iright", gave this reporter a fist-bump. Smacked the behind of a passing blonde and backed away while giving finger-guns.
We've reached out for comment. But so far, his motivation remains unclear."
