"I can't believe this is America": U.S. Veteran who voted for Trump says ICE arrest of his wife shattered everything he

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

https://wtfdetective.blog/veteran-cant-believe-america-ice-arrest/

“Why did you vote for him?” a member of Congress asked.

“Because I was an idiot,” the veteran replied. “Evangelical Christian people were lied to, if you really want to know the truth. And that’s exactly what happened.” He said he believed deportations would only target criminals, but instead his wife — someone devoted to serving others — was detained. “My wife and I, when we don’t work, we’re ministers. We help the needy. That’s what we do. And that’s who they’re arresting.”

1. I congratulate him on getting exactly what he voted for.

[dalton99a]

23. +1

[Bettie]

29. Yes, he got what he voted for

and they weren't "lied to" that orange man and his minions told them exactly what they were going to do, he simply chose not to listen and to assume that the terrible things he was cheering for would somehow not impact him.

[Vogon_Glory]

84. None are so blind as they who will not see

Almost all the MAGA voters refused to see who they were voting for as well what they were voting for. My sympathy for them is paper-thin at best: they not only voted for Donald John but they took the rest of us with them.

When reason, logic, morality, and appeals to their higher selves fail like nine-pins, there’s always pain, and the wounds were self-inflicted.

[Mysterian]

59. And exactly why he voted for him

He's a fucking idiot.

[tblue37]

75. I remember the woman in Florida, whose husband was deported during Trump's first term, wailing, "He's not

hurting the people he's supposed to hurt!"

[UpInArms]

2. I wondered

what jolted him awake ..

It was when

IT AFFECTED HIM

Fuck him with a chainsaw

[Orrex]

3. He'll still vote Republican in 26 and 28.

[UpInArms]

5. You can't cure

Stupid

[slightlv]

87. I'm so over stupid... but I'm now believing there's no cure for evil. :(

[Bengus81]

17. Guaranteed..........

[bluestarone]

47. Yea, no shit! Americans need to start seeing the light here

What pisses me off is they think it's ok to vote maybe against TSF, but then turn around and vote for Repubicon house and Senate members. WTF is wrong with these fuck heads??

[IbogaProject]

19. He has a biblical duty to go be with his wife

Goodbye fool.

[Polybius]

122. Isn't that what usually makes someone regret their votes?

When it affects them personally?

[Irish_Dem]

4. Americans do not have the intelligence, education, or morality to sustain a democracy.

[pazzyanne]

38. Sad, but true! nt

[Hey Joe]

50. True indeed

Convenient consumerism, rampant greed, xenophobia and warm comforting lies have overtaken facts and objective reality to grease the skids of our downfall as a nation once revered but now disgraced.

[Irish_Dem]

52. Excellently stated.

[yardwork]

55. I'm very worried that that is correct.

Hundreds of millions Americans are fools.

[Walleye]

6. It couldn't happen to him, so he didn't care, definition of a Republican

[gab13by13]

7. I mean, hey buddy,

criminals have a right to due process also. What exactly do you preach when you do your ministering?

[Ray Bruns]

13. The same old grift. "If you give me seed money, you will receive ten fold"

[Omnipresent]

78. You definitely exposed a crack in that guy's psyche.

He probably never thought it through or he was for trump for other reasons.

[Squaredeal]

8. He's not the sharpest pencil in the case.

And neither are most of Trump supporters. (America’s apex of its Bell Curve is only 98. The higher the IQ and education level, the more likely the voter is a Democrat. Even Fox News admits it.)

[DaBronx]

39. His eraser is pretty worn down as well

[Emile]

9. Anyone who voted for that con man is an idiot.

My god, after what that idiot did his first four years they still voted.him.

[Justice matters.]

111. Absolutely what part of "don't care about you" followed by

"just want your vote" these morons didn't understand?

It just boggles the mind! They voted for a convicted felon, an adjudicated sex assaulter and insurrectionist liar with tens of thousands of documented lies who told them he doesn't care about them!

They are reaping what they have sown... as their cult said...

[Scrivener7]

10. Good.

[malaise]

11. Dumb ass

He told you FAFO

[TheBlackAdder]

54. It wasn't his fault. He didn't have enough money for cab fare. His tux was in the cleaners. IT WASN'T HIS FAULT!

[kellytore]

12. Typical conservative republican.

Doesn't care about anything until it affects them personally.

[ybbor]

14. "I was told this leopard was vegan...

Why is it eating my face?”

FAFO

[Bengus81]

15. So it was all a MAGA fun house until they came for your family eh? Tough shit....

[Joinfortmill]

16. It's always about 'me' with these people. They have no EMPATHY.

[twodogsbarking]

18. Where I grew up he would be called a dumb ass or stupid shit.

[Blues Heron]

20. He lied to himself.

[Doodley]

21. He says, "80% of evangelical Christians were lied to." So, 20% were told the truth? Really? He is illogical.

[Vogon_Glory]

89. Oh, they were lied too, all right: not only by the con-man

But also by themselves. Hillary Clinton didn’t force them to believe the con-man’s spiel. The “libs” at NBC didn’t force them to believe Donald John. George Soros didn’t force them to buy into MAGA BS: they chose to believe it themselves.

[Thunderbeast]

93. Kinda like reducing drug prices by 1200 percent.

The pre-frontal cortex was unable overcome the instincts drumming in their heads from their brain stems.

Eat, breathe, reproduce... pretty much done.

[Glaisne]

22. They help the needy? Really? How?

How come he doesn't know that Trump and Republicans don't give a damn about the needy and work to make their lives worse? What a clueless dummy.

[MrsCheaplaugh]

24. "Evangelical Christian people were lied to"

They wanted to believe the lies, just like this nitwit. No surprise that rubes who already believe a dead man walked out of his tomb and the earth is 6000 years old would swallow more horse shit about Donald Trump loves America.

Now Stupid regrets his vote. A fat lot of good that does now.

[mwooldri]

41. That's what I struggle with.

I could be naive but I feel Christians should at least know what Jesus is all about. DJT's message isn't Christian. But then the mitigating circumstances here are there are too many false preachers in the Christian community that are teaching falsehoods. Especially this "prosperity gospel" stuff. So if you have these false preachers leading their flock to DJT... I get it. It's not just DJT... It's the whole right wing so-called Evangelical community.

[UTUSN]

25. K&R

[evolves]

26. Who could have guessed

that a compulsive liar would have lied??

[C_U_L8R]

27. Boo hoo.

You got exactly what you wished on someone else.

[3Hotdogs]

114. dunno. I got a couple'a tots for the guy but no pears. Maybe you got a pear or two to inspire him

on is ministering duties when he tells the sucke --- sorry parishioners about welcoming strangers and Mary and Joe not being treated too good in the town where they were strangers.

[Johonny]

28. But seriously, you knew he was a rapist

You knew he committed fraud, you knew about Jan 6th, you knew about him stealing stop secret documents, you knew about Epstein, you knew about the ten counts of obstruction of justice in the Russian investigation, there were two impeachment (2!), you knew about access Hollywood tape, you knew about his complete lack of a Covid vaccination plan, you knew all this and . . . What you decided not to know, because all this shit was out there. Fuck people like this.

[FalloutShelter]

33. Exactly.

Jesus wept.
This was an easy test and this jerk failed.
Rapist, Traitor, Felon or Kamala Harris.
This was a layup pass-fail.
F-
Go directly to Hell.

[durablend]

30. Maybe he'll remember that when he goes to vote for Trump again.

Doubtful

[ecstatic]

31. Yes, you are an idiot. None of us want criminals on the street

But even I, as a fully documented, "natural born" American (with no ties to anyone undocumented that I'm aware of) understood what would be coming.

When you listen to magats, it always boils down to the same reasons. Rarely (if ever) do they mention crime. They were concerned about a hypothetical trans person joining a girls' soccer team, or they were full of jealousy when they heard about undocumented individuals (who literally have nothing) receiving a voucher to stay at a New York hotel on a freezing cold night. Sometimes they even throw in the nonsense excuse of wanting to stop abortion.

I wonder if the people who became radicalized when the undocumented were given temporary housing ever considered what it would look like if the undocumented, who were transported to New York under false pretenses, were not given housing and were instead left to starve and freeze on the street. Is that the type of country they want to live in?

That type of cruel approach is 100% out of step with biblical teaching, by the way. The Bible specifically references how people should treat foreigners.

[haele]

70. A lot of them wouldn't care if people were dying in the streets.

Especially people who are living fairly comfortably but don't like that they still have to budget.
I mean, all those influencers and TV shows have working middle class folks like them able to just brunch at the coffee shop with friends every day, buy whatever they need for their Chi-Chi homemade dinners, or go out on a monthly date night - pay for a babysitter, dinner and movie - and still not have to worry about paying rent/mortgage, utilities, groceries, auto, insurance, medical bills, ect...
It's a matter of petulance for them. They aren't getting what they want, so f' helping lesser people who don't deserve the help anyway.
If they died in the street, it serves them right.

[Aristus]

32. Too fucking bad, asshole. You are a disgrace to veterans everywhere.

Fucking deal with it.

[qanda]

34. Oh boo-hoo!

You would still be supporting this monster if his actions didn't come to your front door.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

35. .

[catbyte]

36. Sigh, at this point I'm like...

[Wonder Why]

37. Even us veterans can be stupid in spite of taking an oath to defend the Constitution and stupid violated his oath.

That makes it three times as bad.

Being stupid and voting for a monster.

Violating the oath he took.

Knowing that the Ugly Pig wanted to deport immigrants when his wife was one.

[Justice matters.]

117. "Christians" who voted for the felon who cheated on his wife with a porn star

and covered it up by signing checks to buy her silence before the election, no less.

[iemanja]

40. I hope we get his vote in the next election

Though many don't seem to want it. I for one would like to see the next President be a Democrat.

[Keepthesoulalive]

61. That's on him to open his eyes and heart

He would be the same asshole if it didn’t affect him. Placating him won’t change his core, only he can give a crap about something other than himself.

[iemanja]

64. It isn't about placating him

It’s about driving away voters, which is exactly what insulting them does. The result is another Republican administration, which isn’t a logical goal of Democrats. Yet people care more about anger and vengeance than winning. This is the continual response to disillusioned Trump voters, which suggests people either can’t control their emotions or don’t know how to win. Either way, the result is increased authoritarianism and death.

[Keepthesoulalive]

67. When seeing a child crying and clinging to her parents

As they are being handcuffed and taken away and that child is put in a cage with other children. Many never to be united, Tiki torches in Charlottesville, a grieving pregnant widow and so many other atrocities and you vote for him again. I will give you the same sympathy you gave others. If his wife was not a victim of Trumps cruelty he would vote the same. We’re winning elections without assholes like him because our voters are motivated. The majority of white men in the last elections we have had have voted for republicans. We need to motivate our base and to hell with the haters.

[iemanja]

92. You have ignored my points

You think it’s about whether he is a good person. That’s a question for his conscience and his god. What Democrats should care about is winning elections. If it’s up to the people who want retribution, we will lose in perpetuity and extend human suffering. It shouldn’t be a difficult decision.

[Keepthesoulalive]

110. I think about whether he has learned the stove is hot

He saw what happened the first term and learned nothing. Perhaps pain will teach him and I will not stop that learning nor will I make it hurt less. As adults we should learn from experience. After the fall of Germany during world war 2 many Germans still loved Hitler but they passed strict laws and made sure people learned history the good and the bad. After the civil war in the United States , we let them up easy and we are still seeing the south trying to rise again. Their identities are tied up with trump and the Republican Party, nothing said on democratic underground will change that.

[iemanja]

115. So you want him and other disaffected

Trump voters to continue to vote Republican. I’m sure if you have your way, they will. And so the Republicans will keep winning.

We get the government we deserve.

[Keepthesoulalive]

119. They have been voting republican since the civil rights act

They were not mistaken, they were prideful and hateful. Maybe if you speak in comforting language and tell the folks of West Virginia please vote for the democrats they may see the error of their votes. I will not give the oppressor a map, he must find his own way out. Because he would put me and those like me on a plane to nowhere and cheer as it takes off. I want to win therefore I bust my ass to get more and better democrats in office, I do not waste my time with collaborators .

[hatrack]

80. He's a grown-ass man, in his 50s or 60s, judging by his appearance.

But he couldn't be bothered to pay attention, or (apparently) to learn anything at all about the asshole he voted for in 2024.

His decision came after ten full years of Trump's arrogance, rage, stupidity and corruption on full public political display, and after four full years of his shambolic performance as president with an insurrection as the cherry on top of the shit sundae.

Where was this guy between 2017 and 2021?!?

Now we're expected to hold his hand, and pat his head, and encourage him with cookies and fruit rollups to come with us to the nearest library in hope that he'll occasionally read a book or a fucking newspaper?

[iemanja]

91. Irrelevant

The only question is do you want the votes of disillusioned Trump voters or do you want to lose to the Republicans?

[hatrack]

96. Nice strawman . . . "The only REAL question is MY question."

Buh-bye.

[iemanja]

116. It is the only question that matters

You want to indulge your anger. That doesn’t interest me. I care about winning the next presidential election, and that means not driving away voters.

[JI7]

42. Trump's vileness and hideousness was all out in the open

nobody lied to you. If anything you lie to yourself.

If this had not happened to his wife yet he would be cheering on what is happening to others.

[lonely bird]

43. It not only is America

It has always been America. Groups that come here in any significant number have always been crapped on and blamed for other people’s woes.

[Timewas]

44. Good example of

FAFO, this is the FO part

[niyad]

45. You, a veteran, voted for a 5-time draft dodger, a man who called military

members suckers and losers, a man who loves dictators, hates our allies, and is actively destroying that which you took an oath (with no expiration date) to defend. You ae beyond stupid, you are complicit.

Oh, and by the way, many of us out here strongly object to you reichwing evangelicals shoving your version of christianity down our throats, trying to force your version of shaaria law and living on the rest of us.

[yardwork]

56. Hear, hear!

[Rebl2]

46. I don't

understand. He said evangelicals were lied to? Why is it the majority of democrats knew many years ago that trump has been lying to people for years! He has also cheated people out of their money for many, many years.

[Deep State Witch]

48. Leopards Eating Faces Again

Those leopards are gonna need Ozempic.

[patphil]

49. Far too many people only saw what they wanted to see. "Believing is seeing" is its own punishment.

They wanted to believe Trump would do what they wanted, even though he told them what he was going to do. They ignored the cognitive dissonance of the actual situation in favor of a self-imposed fantasy of Trump being a good leader.
For those who can actually do it, the awakening is slow and painful.

There's very little critical thinking going on in MAGA land.

[aeromanKC]

51. Don't be a Sucker

53. FYI, Conservatives all believe that all immigrants are criminals.

Listen to their talk shows and read conservative forums. People don't understand that fact.

[sakabatou]

57. Someone hit him with a clue-by-four several times

You're worse than an idiot! You're a complicit idiot!

[GoodRaisin]

58. A minister who "helps the needy" voting for Trump. These magats

are very confused people.

[helpisontheway]

63. Cry me a f-ing river. It is okay when they are targeting other people..

Whatever..Karma!

[Initech]

65. You voted for trash, don't be surprised when you get garbage in return.

[B.See]

66. BELIEVE IT. What did he expect when

he ran out and voted for scum who peddled hate and promised authoritarian rule.

Got what he fkn DESERVED.

73. Yes, he was lied to, but there are plenty of sources for accessing actual information. You don't have to

trust obvious, repeated liars and felons.

[meadowlander]

74. Whelp, all I can say at this point is tell all your friends.

[OAITW r.2.0]

76. Your vote not only fucked up your life, it fucked up the lives of people who knew better...

and that was likely a majority of voters.

[The Roux Comes First]

77. There's Really No Way Around It; Evangelical Christian in Ever-so-Many Cases Equates to "Hate Any Potential

Neighbor who doesn't look like you, worship like you, and join you in a hate-spree several times a week."

Just like their bible apparently says. Are they still fixated on Ussher's Year 4004?

[Tactical Peek]

79. Evangelical Christian twit should have paid more attention.

[KS Toronado]

82. Good bye

[mcar]

83. This is Democratic Underground so of course we're anti-Trump

Did you not know that?

[mcar]

86. What do you suggest we discuss?

There are dozens of forums for special interests. Also, hundreds of OPs a day on various issues. You have picked this one to comment on - and threaten us with your departure if we don't pull ourselves together. Interesting from a 2 post new member.

[Conjuay]

88. "Evangelical Christian people were lied to"

only for the last 2000 years or so...

[Blaukraut]

90. I don't want to hear it anymore

This motherfecker knew exactly what he was voting for unless he slept through Trump’s first term. He clearly wanted Trump to enact his entire agenda as long as it benefited him, not hurt him. Selfish pieces of shit like this guy get no sympathy from me. I am fresh out of fucks to give.

[Fiddlelady11]

94. No sympathy.

Please suffer the rest of your life.

[Susan Calvin]

95. Lord I'm sick of these people

Who knew or should have known what they were voting for and then cry when they get it.

[Skittles]

102. they DID know who they were voting for

they just didn't think it would negatively affect THEM

[Upthevibe]

97. He's right. He said he's an

Idiot and....he's right....

[tavernier]

98. If he truly thought that the only ones to be deported

would be criminals, rapists and murderers, I can forgive him for being stupid because I’ve done a number of stupid things in my life. If I end up hating everyone, even those who now see the truth, how can I expect forgiveness when I screw up?

[calimary]

99. Hey dude, you bought it. Now you OWN it.

You were “lied to”? You didn’t listen to anybody else?

You didn’t read the warnings from so many people who knew him and how he deceived people and how there was coverage about all the holes in his assertions?

You didn’t watch anything other than Pox Noise?

What worries me most is how too many people will allow themselves to be conned again, either by him or those coming after him who want what he got (or conned you for, or lied to you about, or just flat-out stole from you and all the rest of us).

[Betty Boom]

100. Zero sympathy

These people only care when an issue directly affects them. How laughable that he would hold himself up as some sort of representative of faith. Screw him and screw his wife. There are better people to worry about.

[Skittles]

101. how ANYONE can claim to be Christian and see value in DONALD FUCKING TRUMP

IT BOGGLES THE MIND

[underpants]

103. Yes, you were an idiot.

[RockRaven]

104. This is the America THAT YOU VOTED FOR *DESPITE* BEING WARNED.

The Dotard said he was going to do everything that he is doing! These assholes ignored the parts they didn't want to hear, and now whine that they were lied to. They were lied to... BY THEMSELVES.

[ColoringFool]

105. My Favorite Letters: FAFO!

[Blues Heron]

106. Getting woked the hard way can be quite painful. Oh well.

[Blumancru]

107. No sympathy. He was fine with it until the Magastapo was turned against his own family.

Want to know a secret, MAGAts? He hates you only slightly less than he hates Democrats. He secretly calls you suckers. And you are, thats why you have earned his contempt.

[rustbeltvoice]

108. One can't be both a Christian & a trumpster

at least not at the same time. Jesus was a logician. You make a choice of one or the other.. Jesus was talking about God and Mammon; but same principle here.

[Norrrm]

109. Congratulations! You got what you wanted - Trump in the WH.

‘I Don’t Care About You. I Just Want Your Vote’

Trump claims it was a joke but it turns out to be true.

112. A veteran who voted for a seditionist. Tells me everything I need to know about him.

[camartinwv]

113. How did I, and many others, know that he was going to detain and deport anyone that is brown skinned, but not this idiot

Some people just think they are better than others and are shocked when they get what they asked for.

[W T F]

118. Hate it when they say they were lied to....Was Trump lying when he said he would be a dictator on day one?

[DFW]

120. What is this guy's problem?

“Trump promised to arrest the worst of the worst.”
“He’s arresting Evangelical ministers who voted for him”

Yeah. So? Where is the inconsistency?

[Old Crank]

121. Being an athiest,

I would say that he and his wife are con artists also.
Birds of a feather like Trump.
