Bryan José Rojas Galofre wanted to give his wife a lovely honeymoon to see the beach for the first time and perhaps a glimpse of President Donald Trump, whom she supports.
Their January 2025 road trip from Wisconsin to Miami, however, turned into a nightmare, according to the couple: Rojas, a Venezuelan immigrant whose wife and young children are U.S. citizens, was detained following a stop at a Trump hotel security checkpoint.
He spent more than three months in ICE custody in Florida. Rojas also faced accusations of gang affiliation; he says he feared being deported to El Salvador and lost his stable job and work permit. The family says they’ve lost their house and car, had to deplete Rojas’ 401(k) and are in debt.
“In the end, it was a bad decision,” Rojas, 34, said
“I’m his fan. I believe Trump is a good president,” she said. However, Zaragosa noted this political loyalty co-exists with the disappointment she feels over the months her husband spent in detention.
“What he is doing to migrants isn’t fair,” Zaragosa said of the president. “What happened to my family wasn’t fair.”
What happened to my family wasn’t fair
Haha
I bet the thought it happening to someone else’s family was fair.
The fact that this dumb shit still supports him even after all the shit that they’ve gone through means I have absolutely no fucking symphony for these morons.
I agree, Drumpf should do the funny to him again.
Not even a Bittersweet Symphony?
Holy shit, dude thought he was part of the in group 😂. How does a person become that oblivious/ brainwashed? Astounding.
Social Media firehose coupled with vague fill in the blank populist rhetoric.
It’s an effective combination.
Don’t forget decades of defunding education!
Votes were cast, faces were eaten.
Watch them both vote Republican in '26 and '28.
Bold of you to assume there will be elections in 26 and 28
“I don’t think anything bad about the president. It wasn’t his fault; it was our fault.".
She’ll turn on her husband before she turns on the president.
In her desperate attempt to help her son, she contacted a purported attorney via social media who, she alleges, turned out to be an impostor. “He would answer all my messages and ask me for various things; I would send him the documents he requested — I even sent him about $2,000. But then, all of a sudden, I never heard from him or his associates again,” she said.
They are desperate, powerless, and willing to part with their money. I bet Eric Trump invests in a piece of this action.
These fucking morons are just completely detached from reality.
Leopards be feastin.
The husband is just as responsible for the situation as his wife was. He should have left her and run the moment she showed support for the guy who hates non-whites. That could’ve happened well before they had kids, it’s not like it was a secret or anything. Pretending he wasn’t talking about them is just delusional thinking.
The Venezuelan man was really selfless and thoughtful here… sucks that he married and had kids with a moronic wife who can somehow still continue to excuse the pain she helped caused them all.
For the most part I have little sympathy for people who married Trump supporters. The Trump supporter likely had a lot of terrible behavior towards people in her day to day life and her husband just didn’t care about that because it didn’t directly affect him and their relationship. Now it has.
“I believe Trump is a good president” … but what he did specifically to “my family” is bad… chefs kiss level of schadenfreude this morning - topped off with a little Republican my abortion is the only good abortion level of hypocrisy.
What will it take for these morons to realize the unique horribleness of this administration?
When you can’t change these people after getting hit in the face with a brick - you have to admit - Hope for progress should be muted
Humans lived in tribes for millions of years. Tribalism is hard-coded into our brains.
An attack on the tribe is considered an attack on every individual within the tribe. Saying “Trump is racist” is an attack on everyone in the MAGA tribe and makes you an enemy of the tribe. Not someone to be trusted. Someone to fight back against.
Things that are obvious to anyone outside of the tribe won’t even be considered by anyone within the tribe. If there’s any doubt, the other members of the tribe will tell them “no, we aren’t racist, they are the racists!” The obvious thing becomes a lie and rejected.
Even when something impacts your life, you may think “well that was just a mistake” so you can continue feeling happy to be in the “good tribe”.
No one is good at questioning these things because we don’t want to think of ourselves as not all that much more evolved than apes. So we develop ideologies to paint over how we really think.
Are you able to question your tribe? What are the things that are obvious to anyone not in your tribe that you can’t consider?
Whose faces do the leopards you hang out with want to eat?
“We’re innocent people that got caught in the dragnet, but it’ll work out and the dragnet is good” - every deluded Republican voter that still doesn’t realize this is exactly what they want.
“I never thought the leopards would eat MY face”
“But I mean I’m still going to support the leopard, obviously”
What will it take for these morons to realize the unique horribleness of this administration?
Nothing. Their egos are “protecting” them from having to admit that they support the man/movement that ruined their family’s life
“I’m his fan. I believe Hitler is a good Führer,” she said. “What he is doing to Jews isn’t fair.”
Let me introduce: Association of German National Jews
(Spoiler: they got their faces eaten in 1935)
And of course they bred. More than once. Stupid people beget stupider people. Here’s hoping at least one of those kids turns out to be a decent person.
So I’m just wondering
Why in the ever living fuck would a guy like this vote for trump in the first place? He must have had a reason, though to be fair he doesn’t have a functioning brain.
He thought he was one of the good brown people.
That’s what you for supporting a fascist, you’re targeted by his SS.
Well in that case ma’am, I bid you worse.
Honestly how to have sympathy for these people. They get nothing not even violence against them.
I don’t care if it’s ableist but these people are competitively retarded.
