You may be missing just how skewed the information sources are for so many people. When their most trusted sources consistently weave the narrative that all the horrors of ICE are negative spin and lies, then it’s easier for those people to assume the real people and other news sources in their life telling them something closer to objective truth are parroting corrupted information. It isn’t until they see it in front of them, impacting someone they know for sure isn’t evil/a criminal/a threat, that they truly come face to face with the possibility that they were lied to by those they most trusted.
Yeah, but it has a different flavor when the “person who you trusted” is your trusted person because they are violent, careless, and a narcissist, but they just promise to take you with them.
Anyone can fall into a cult, or an abusive relationship. Anyone can be misled in this way given enough time and resources. The question I have to remind everyone is
“How did they get hooked?”
These people were hooked with violence toward others and being “better than everyone else”. I have no sympathy, nor do I want them anywhere near me or power ever again.
No you fucking didn’t.
Not at this point in time you didn’t.
No sane or rational person believed this was about the violent criminals since fucking Minnesota.
It is about fear and intimidation. And you liked it until it came to scare you and yours.
