If Arpineh Masihi could vote, she would have cast her ballot for Donald Trump. She’s a devout supporter of the US president – even now that she’s locked up as an illegal immigrant.
“He’s doing the right thing because lots of these people don’t deserve to be here,” Arpineh told the BBC over the phone from the Adelanto immigrant detention centre in California’s Mojave Desert.
“I will support him until the day I die. He’s making America great again.”
In 2008, she was convicted of burglary and grand theft and was sentenced to two years in prison. An immigration judge revoked her Green Card, which is a common practice. But because she is a Christian Armenian Iranian, the judge allowed her to remain in the country instead of being deported.
In…fucking…sane.
I am sorry but something is really wrong with people who like Trump, like seriously wrong. Will never view any of them the same ever again, I used to at least give them some benefit of the doubt. We are way past that though.
What does it take? In 2015 it took me all of 10 mins of listening to Trump to realize he is a liar and a cheat. If you can’t see that by now even, more than a decade later, something is actually most definitely wrong with you, and not saying it lightly. People need to detox from social media or disconnect from their phones or something, otherwise I dont see how you get this brainwashed. How do people make it through the day with this level of brain power?
Trump is an evil narcissist, but I don’t fault the working class for leaving the democrats and voting for him. He was promising them (falsely) progressive ideas, like bringing jobs back, fixing the healthcare system. Of course he doesn’t really care about that or will do it, but he was the only one talking about it. It always boils down to the economy though, and Biden’s economy was horrendous, people, the working class were hurting and all Kamala gave us were platitudes, no substance, no solutions to what mattered to them.
If you thought Biden’s economy was horrendous, what the actual fuck do you call this economy?
Did I say Trump was the answer? I am just saying you have to understand why the working class did what they did.
I get it, I’m asking you specifically what you would label this economy after labeling Biden’s “horrendous?”
Horrendous, not that hard to figure out. Sure wish we had a party that wasn’t controlled by oligarchs and their corporations running the show.
“I don’t blame Trump, I blame Biden,” Arthur says. “It’s his doing for open borders, but I believe in the system and all the good people will be released and the ones that are bad will be sent back.”
How stupid can one be?
She is probably even more stupid than that comment. She is part of the MAGAt cult and nothing will change her mind.
Her children could be executed in front of her, and she’d still support it. This is the true TDS.
A lot of people think stupidity is a virtue.
That the world where being stupid is a disadvantage is intentionally created by someone woke\bad\immoral\treacherous. That them being stupid and loyal will work well in a special system for stupid and loyal people.
When the system around is not such, they are trying to break it to get to their heaven for loyal boors. They really think such exists. That it’s morally worth it.
Don’t forget she’s literally a criminal.
Convicted of burgulury. “Hon, remember that green box in the attic has some bail money.”
Stockholm Syndrome
She’s right, she doesn’t deserve to be in America, so nice that she could admit that.
It really is a cult, isn’t it.
German Jews sent to concentration camps were often patriotic national-socialists.
Nothing new. Conformance is the expected behavior. Being confident that the only way you suffer is if you don’t conform is there too.
Really? That’s new to me.
Well, there are memories of witnesses … Of course, by “German Jews” I mean everyone who fit racial laws, many of those people wouldn’t be Jewish in normal sense.
I know this parallel grows old but consider the followers of nazi Germany. They ran after Germany First, country prude, nationalism, etc. Were they all bad people knowingly making bad choices? Were they brainwashed or lulled into a false belief that, even if they could recognize their own cognitive dissonance, they were in too deep to turn back now?
Who knows? But the answer to me is, “yes. Yes it is a cult.” shun anyone who doesn’t belief.
There’s no reaching these freaks, Democratic party! Stop trying, and run candidates and policies that are progressive, popular, and will win elections.
I mean she kind of has to. Probably the only chance she has.
I do not understand life. My best guess is that none of this is real. The matrix is glitching. PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND LIFE!!! I DON’T GET REALITY!!!
You are a hominid. We are a troupe species. We are susceptible to social manipulation which can overwhelm our reasoning, because we survived based on trust.
Some of us have overstimulated amygdalas because of biology and various kinds of anxiety. This enhances the vulnerability to manipulation by another minority, the sociopaths.
For the species to continue to survive, we must keep the sociopaths from manipulating and the amygdaloids from falling into cults.
If you accept it, this is your mission.
Propaganda is a hell of a drug.
It’s, unfortunately, very real. We’re here because millions of eligible voters just couldn’t be fucking bothered.
I will support him until the day I die.
I bet she would have at least a few doubts in the final moments if things go according to Stephen Miller’s plans
Save me king trump you’re my only hope!
I wonder if this is some play by her to get trump to swoop in and save her.
Unironically the first time he’s being consistent with the “law,” where it applies to everyone even his supporters.
She needs mental treatment
Now this is Stockholm Syndrome
