A lot of people voted for Trump thinking he would get rid of illegal immigrant criminals–like rapists and murderers. Some of those voters are distraught that Trump is mass deporting illegals who are just working hard at a job.
The sad thing is, anyone who could objectively follow Trump could have told them: Trump was always going to mass deport, with most of those people being hard workers whose only crime was crossing a line they weren’t supposed to.
US citizens of Hispanic descent who work in immigrant-typical industries live in fear.
Because so much skilled construction labor was deported, house construction is now more expensive.
If after the election and after coalition negotiations, Netanyahu is still in charge, we will continue to get acceptance of West Bank settler violence and an ethnic cleansing of parts or all of Gaza. If Netanyahu’s opponents are in charge, they will still reject the possibility of a two-state solution, but will limit settler violence and work to implement Trump’s Gaza peace plan.
Trump repeatedly screams fraud when there is an election outcome he doesn’t like, even in elections he wasn’t running in. And of course, without even close to decent evidence…
2016 Republican Primaries, 2016 US presidential election, 2018 US midterms, 2020 US presidential election, 2022 US midterms…
He even claims it in elections he won to claim “in reality” he won bigger!
The AfD has completely polarized a German town where disputes used to be easily resolved over a beer. They take over German villages as a strategy, first just establishing a base in a pub or something, then spreading their message, then polarizing the town by: ending trust, lying about anyone who speaks out, and suing and criminally reporting people who are against them. They also threaten opponents, especially AfD apostates. When dealing with external and internal opponents, the party focuses on threats and insults over discussion of the issues.
In interviews, AfD supporters spout straight up Russian fake news propaganda. Others have the same complaints heard by Trump supporters in the US.
Interviewer interviews AfD supporters and asks them what about your life personally is going wrong that makes you like the AfD, and they talk about immigrants, the EU, etc, but when he asks again about their life personally, they have nothing to say. Another interviewer had the same experience with Trump supporters–they rave about whatever concern is in the right-wing zeitgeist at the moment, but have nothing to say about how their life is bad that makes them want to vote for Trump.
Back to Germany, people often are concerned about immigrant crime, but outside of a few highly publicized attacks, these attacks are rare.
Interviewees are straight up ignorant about the horrible things Hitler did.
The Supreme Court keeps seeing blatantly unlawful action by the Trump administration, and then ending injunctions and allowing it to go forward anyways while the case works its way through the process. It looks like the Supreme Court is making up doctrines in order to enable lawlessness. The Supreme Court did not act like this toward Biden.
