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.

What a fucktard

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

And he's nearly a third of the way there O_O

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Truthfully, I don’t feel bad for either of them. He’s a moron and she married the douche.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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.

Isnt this the same dumbfuck who still supports trump after they took his wife? FAFO.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago

Use your own bootstraps.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago

You wanna know what you could have done to avoid it? Not vote for the obvious fascist. He literally told you he wanted to do this since 2016.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Fuck no, Brad, donations for rich people and leftists, and we know you’re neither. Trump the fuck up and get you 6-9 other jobs to pay for what you want. Lord helps those who help themselves, and your own bootstraps n shit.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Yeah no. Consequences of actions. Didn't your mother teach you?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

$3,000? Why won't he use the money trump saved him on eggs?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Checking conservative media, they are saying Trump saved him $2,999.99 in egg costs... So close, sadly not enough.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

Of course he has no regrets.

  1. He proudly voted for Trump, therefore he has no compassion for anyone who is not himself
  2. He proudly voted for Trump, a man known to value women only as a commodity. Why would he worry about this wife when he can get a new one at equal or better value?
  3. He proudly voted for Trump, a known grifter and therefore probably appreciates a good grift. These donations are likely going to support himself and he'll gladly let his wife be the face of "illegal immigrants can look like anyone."

How could he have any regrets? He's suddenly getting so much attention. See points 1 and 2.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 week ago

My vote for Harris was my attempt at helping you. Looks like you’re gonna need some bootstraps, bud.

It's so frustrating that Camila doesn't deserve any of this, but the person saying they wouldn't change their decision and does deserve to see consequences will refuse to actually feel them.

Like, I want her out, but how dare this asshole say he regrets nothing while asking others to bail him out for the thing he voted for and still wants more of? Why is a social safety net OK in this case to this guy, but not for anyone else?

The detentions are a for-profit endeavor, the people are being treated inhumanely, and this is all some Nazi-level shit. I want all the allies that can be won away from the neofascists. I fucking hate this particular dude's refusal to recognize the taste of boot leather though, even as it impacts his supposed loved ones. It's maddening.

Free Camila.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Yeah, free her from this shitty husband.

No. Fuck you for asking, Bradley Bartell.

Didn't he just say he had no regrets about voting him in?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

He must have that TDS that's going around these days. It makes you talk and act oposite to reason.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago (4 children)

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 ....

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago

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.

Never underestimate the amount of cognitive dissonance to be found in the average Trump supporter's views. These are remarkably dumb people.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

That's doublethink. Cognitive dissonance is the discomfort you feel from it. Obviously, he feels none.

Black holes instead of brains

more like a selective worm hole that goes from one ear and out the other.

Is there a r/leopards_ate_my_face here on Lemmy?

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 week ago

Nvm, I found it https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected] and this post is already there lol

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Stupid fucks. Got what he deserved.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

I am waiting for the follow up story about her leaving him the moment she gets out.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago

The thing is... I'm sure this is how other Trump voters look at him, too. Especially white people with no latino family or friends.

They just see him as a rube.

Such a cringe line. The land of the free was declared over fifty years before slavery was abolished. America is a shithole.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes. We're going to have to set feelings aside long enough to think carefully.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.
