George and Esmeralda said they both voted for the first time in 2020, and then again in 2024 – both times for President Donald Trump. They said, as they’ve watched his mass deportation effort unfold in immigration court and at workplaces, seeing the majority of people detained without a violent criminal record, they both have come to regret their votes.

“I feel shame, guilt and anger at the same time because of the promises that he made that he lied to us about, going after the worst of the worst,” George said. “He lied on those and he stole our vote.”

    True, but he convinced the “people” that he was going after murderers, rapists, and dangerous criminals, not farm workers, housewives, and children. See the disconnect? We knew he was lying, but they are idiots, so they believed the giant lying liar like he wasn’t some giant lying liar. It’s funny if we weren’t all going to die.
