No, you didn't.
He says he voted for illegal immigrants to be deported, and now he's being negatively affected by legal immigration being hindered.
LAMF is all about voting in support of X, but assuming (without evidence) that X will only happen to others. This would only be LAMF if his wife was an illegal immigrant.
This is not LAMF.
This guy voted to deport immigrants and is upset an immigrant is being deported.
"He's hurting the wrong people"
Not immigrants, illegal immigrants. Stop being disingenuous, his words are right there.
I know it's easier to win an argument against a straw man, but have the integrity to engage with what was actually said.
Illegal immigrants are immigrants.
So if someone voted to throw away red apples, and is now complaining that he can't buy a green apple, you'd actually retort to that guy 'well, you voted to throw away apples, red apples are apples'?
Do you really not understand how ridiculous that response is?
lol
"Red apples start off green so we got rid of the green ones in case they were actually red"
"But I only voted to get rid of RED apples!!"
This post explained using your own analogy
lol you must be a special breed of stupid if you still think Trump literally and only meant "illegal in the traditional sense"...
They're rewriting immigration laws SO THEY CAN FREELY TARGET MORE PEOPLE WITHOUT ANY LEGAL RECOURSE AGAINST THEM. This isn't rocket science, yet it seems to befuddle you... Sad.
Pathetically sad.
Here's a puzzler.
Did he start with illegals as the first stage in a general campaign to eliminate the poor and undersirable by force, or, now that he has moved to all immigrants, is he going to stop?
You are either a right winger trying to justify the current events by using the terms "immigrants" and "illegal immigrants" by their exact dictionary meaning instead of for the racist dog whistle content they are used in by the current American administration and their voters, or you are on purpose ignorant of the concept of this community. Both of which don't really necessitate a proper discussion since it just looks like you're arguing in bad faith.
MAGAts don't care for the little details.
anyone with a brain knew this was coming, stop listening to what republicans say
at this point it’s LAMF for lack of ability to discern object permanence
Prognostication has nothing to do with LAMF, this isn't relevant.
No. You just want an excuse to ignore the theme. If everything counts as LAMF, nothing does, and the whole concept is meaningless.
this doesn’t take a seer, it’s basic pattern recognition
and the literal roots of LAMF has been, among other things, republican voters voting against their best interests because of republican politician lies
what an odd thing to gatekeep lol
But LAMF has nothing to do with predicting slippery slopes. It has everything to do with the specific thing being promised, not with things that happen later.
Literally false. The root of LAMF is voting for a party that promises to "eat faces", under the unjustified assumption that only your enemies' faces would be eaten, and then suffering because the party did exactly what they promised to do, and because said assumption was wrong, and never 'part of the deal' at all.
Okay, so you don't know what that word means, either. "Gatekeeping" is when you arbitrarily limit something, beyond its actual, defined limitations. It'd be gatekeeping to prevent women from entering a chess tournament, but it's not gatekeeping to prevent men from joining a women's chess tournament, because that tournament was conceived (pardon the pun) from the start as being women only.
LAMF is clearly defined, you're just trying to dilute it into meaninglessness by pretending 'anything bad that happens to someone after the person they voted for wins' counts as LAMF. It doesn't.
It’s not a slippery slope. Before he was elected, Trump said he was going to end TPS for Salvadorans. This woman is Salvadoran. She is no longer eligible for the legal program she was pursuing, and is now considered not legally in the country.
This guy voted for a policy that is now suffering from. That is what this com is for.

Trump and the GOP have repeatedly decried and called to limit ALL immigration from third world countries. This guy 100% knew and wanted that to happen. He just thought it would only affect NEW immigrants, not his wife.
The admin has been arresting and deporting legal immigrants and citizens since they came into power. If this guy had given half a shit about that happening, he would've already been banned from r/Trump.
Half the country was telling him that trump is racist and xenophobic, and he voted assuming that wouldn't affect him.
Turns out it did.
I think the point is that the orange monkey is doing bad thing when he advertized good thing and every monkey knew that would happen besides stupid monkey that voted for orange monkey.
And now all things are bananas.
Even though I disagree with your point, I'll upvote for the delivery.
Friend monkey :-D
nope, this is exactly that. the leopards eating faces party usually singles out a demographic's faces and other people vote for it assuming their own faces would be safe. it's textbook.
