Summary
Bradley Bartell, a Trump voter from Wisconsin, started a GoFundMe to raise $3,000 for his wife Camila Muñoz’s bond after ICE detained her.
Muñoz, a Peruvian citizen, overstayed her work-study visa due to the pandemic and was seeking legal residency as Bartell’s spouse. She was arrested returning from a honeymoon in Puerto Rico.
Bartell continues to maintain that he does not regret voting for Trump.
Since Trump’s return to office, ICE has arrested over 90,000 immigrants.
2.5k raised on GoFundMe
Is there a r/leapards_ate_my_face here on Lemmy?
Nvm, I found it https://sh.itjust.works/c/leopardsatemyface@lemmy.world and this post is already there lol
Didn’t he just say he had no regrets about voting him in?
Never underestimate the amount of cognitive dissonance the average Trump supporter is capable of. These are remarkably dumb people.
Rivaling neutron stars in density.
Black holes instead of brains
more like a selective worm hole that goes from one ear and out the other.
That’s doublethink. Cognitive dissonance is the discomfort you feel from it. Obviously, he feels none.
2 * 0 = 0
No regrets but a go fund me. Sure, buddy, we believe you.
Damn that sucks if true. I really do feel bad for them, but like what is the point of me donating if he’s not going to speak out against this administration. Doesn’t he realize it’s not just about his situation, but for everyone else who’s also impacted by this? I rather give to another family that will not only use these funds to hopefully turn their situation around but also you know like then also give back/help others and speak out. To be honest I didn’t look into OP’s comment to fact check because you know I’m only human, busy and got problems of my own. If true though this is really sad …
Doesn’t he realize it’s not just about his situation,
He probably just wants his wife to stay, but everybody else to be thrown out.
I really do feel bad for them
Why?
Doesn’t he realize it’s not just about his situation, but for everyone else who’s also impacted by this?
Actually, no. Studies have shown that those who lean conservative tend to have a diminished ability to feel empathy. There’s a good chance that he simply cannot comprehend that others could be negatively affected by his actions. In his mind, he’s all that matters.
There are already too many deserving charities for my pocket book. Giving money to an unrepentant Trump voter who got exactly what he voted for gets my sympathy, but not a dime.
He must have that TDS that’s going around these days. It makes you talk and act oposite to reason.
#LandOfTheFree!
Such a cringe line. The land of the free was declared over fifty years before slavery was abolished. America is a shithole.
Yes. We’re going to have to set feelings aside long enough to think carefully.
There’s a lot of thinking going on while the U.S. government strips the rights of Americans and endangers many lives globally.
What will putting feelings aside achieve? In order for me to stop being angry at what America is doing, I would have to stop giving a fuck about the atrocities of deporting legal residents who protest or the attempted erasure of the queer community or the genocides they support etc, etc.
Making decisions from passions tend to have unforseen effects.
Stupid fucks. Got what he deserved.
I’m not so sure she did, though. Honestly being deported might be better for her than being stuck married to this jackhole, as sad as that is to say.
I am waiting for the follow up story about her leaving him the moment she gets out.
Use your own bootstraps.
They thought Trump was gonna make them all so rich, now they’re begging for money and eggs. And it’s just the beginning.
Stay in school.
Sch… school? They’re dismantling the public institutions keeping education accessible. If they get their way, it’s going to be straight to the farm, factory, and then Republican ballot boxes 18 years later.
Isnt this the same dumbfuck who still supports trump after they took his wife? FAFO.
And he’s nearly a third of the way there O_O
Truthfully, I don’t feel bad for either of them. He’s a moron and she married the douche.
Bartell, on voting for Trump despite his immigration policies: “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.”
Sheer delusion. I got news for you chump, Trump doesn’t give a shit about fixing anything. He’s not going to help you. He doesn’t feel gratitude, he doesn’t understand ethics. He already told you he only needed your vote one more time, he got it and now you’re disposable.
He’s a really uninformed and unanalytical person. Exactly the kind of voter trump wants.
What a fucktard
$3000? What do we look like were make of eggs… get fucked my guy. You voted for this. I would say suck an egg, but clearly you can’t afford it.
$3000? What do we look like were make of eggs
oh man, glad I didn’t have mouthful of beverage…or eggs…when I read this, well done!
Americans doing a GoFundMe is always funny to me. Like you clearly understand if you pool together money, you can make a big impact. For example when little Timmy needs a big operation and can’t afford it, people can start a GoFundMe, everyone chips in a little bit of money and Timmy is covered. So if we scale that up a bit… NO, THAT’S COMMUNISM!
Considering communism has a centrally planned economy this is not analogous at all. You’re thinking more in line with social programs which I do agree
It’s racism. In America the answer is almost always racism.
Basically, with a GoFundMe, or ‘churches taking care of the poor’, or whathaveyou, you can make sure your money goes only to the poor Good Christian white folks, and none of it gets used to help those icky brown folks. Unlike government programs which have to help everyone equally.
You can’t GoFundMe your way out of being stupid.
