If Arpineh Masihi could vote, she would have cast her ballot for Donald Trump. She's a devout supporter of the US president – even now that she's locked up as an illegal immigrant.

"He's doing the right thing because lots of these people don't deserve to be here," Arpineh told the BBC over the phone from the Adelanto immigrant detention centre in California's Mojave Desert.

"I will support him until the day I die. He's making America great again."

In 2008, she was convicted of burglary and grand theft and was sentenced to two years in prison. An immigration judge revoked her Green Card, which is a common practice. But because she is a Christian Armenian Iranian, the judge allowed her to remain in the country instead of being deported.

I am sorry but something is really wrong with people who like Trump, like seriously wrong. Will never view any of them the same ever again, I used to at least give them some benefit of the doubt. We are way past that though.

What does it take? In 2015 it took me all of 10 mins of listening to Trump to realize he is a liar and a cheat. If you can't see that by now even, more than a decade later, something is actually most definitely wrong with you, and not saying it lightly. People need to detox from social media or disconnect from their phones or something, otherwise I dont see how you get this brainwashed. How do people make it through the day with this level of brain power?

Trump is an evil narcissist, but I don't fault the working class for leaving the democrats and voting for him. He was promising them (falsely) progressive ideas, like bringing jobs back, fixing the healthcare system. Of course he doesn't really care about that or will do it, but he was the only one talking about it. It always boils down to the economy though, and Biden's economy was horrendous, people, the working class were hurting and all Kamala gave us were platitudes, no substance, no solutions to what mattered to them.

If you thought Biden's economy was horrendous, what the actual fuck do you call this economy?

[–] piefood@feddit.online 1 points 5 months ago

Even more horrendous.

Trump having a bad economy doesn't exclude Biden from having a bad economy.

[–] shrewdcat@lemmy.zip -2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Did I say Trump was the answer? I am just saying you have to understand why the working class did what they did.

[–] MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I get it, I'm asking you specifically what you would label this economy after labeling Biden's "horrendous?"

[–] shrewdcat@lemmy.zip 0 points 7 months ago

Horrendous, not that hard to figure out. Sure wish we had a party that wasn't controlled by oligarchs and their corporations running the show.
