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.
It really is a cult, isn’t it.
I know this parallel grows old but consider the followers of nazi Germany. They ran after Germany First, country prude, nationalism, etc. Were they all bad people knowingly making bad choices? Were they brainwashed or lulled into a false belief that, even if they could recognize their own cognitive dissonance, they were in too deep to turn back now?
Who knows? But the answer to me is, “yes. Yes it is a cult.” shun anyone who doesn’t belief.
German Jews sent to concentration camps were often patriotic national-socialists.
Nothing new. Conformance is the expected behavior. Being confident that the only way you suffer is if you don’t conform is there too.
Really? That’s new to me.
Well, there are memories of witnesses … Of course, by “German Jews” I mean everyone who fit racial laws, many of those people wouldn’t be Jewish in normal sense.
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?
Did I say Trump was the answer? I am just saying you have to understand why the working class did what they did.
I get it, I’m asking you specifically what you would label this economy after labeling Biden’s “horrendous?”
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.
In…fucking…sane.
She’s right, she doesn’t deserve to be in America, so nice that she could admit that.
Leopards exfoliated my face.
Leopards stole my children’s faces
I will support him until the day I die.
I bet she would have at least a few doubts in the final moments if things go according to Stephen Miller’s plans
I do not understand life. My best guess is that none of this is real. The matrix is glitching. PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND LIFE!!! I DON’T GET REALITY!!!
You are a hominid. We are a troupe species. We are susceptible to social manipulation which can overwhelm our reasoning, because we survived based on trust.
Some of us have overstimulated amygdalas because of biology and various kinds of anxiety. This enhances the vulnerability to manipulation by another minority, the sociopaths.
For the species to continue to survive, we must keep the sociopaths from manipulating and the amygdaloids from falling into cults.
If you accept it, this is your mission.
Propaganda is a hell of a drug.
It’s, unfortunately, very real. We’re here because millions of eligible voters just couldn’t be fucking bothered.
Why didn’t she just self deport to show support?
Detained in Auschwitz, Jewish inmate still has faith in Hitler’s Final Solution www.bbc.com
Speaking from Block 10 of Auschwitz-Birkenau, a Jewish detainee says she believes “the undesirables will be eliminated.” If Rachel Stein could vote, she would have cast her ballot for Adolf Hitler. She’s a devout supporter of the Führer even now that she’s locked up as an “undesirable” in the concentration camp. “Hitler is doing the right thing because lots of these people don’t deserve to be here,” Rachel told the BBC over the phone from Auschwitz’s infamous labor camp. “I will support him until the day I die. He’s purifying the Aryan race.”
In 1938, she was labeled a “non-Aryan” and stripped of her citizenship. An SS judge revoked her “Jewish status,” which is a common practice. But because she was a devout Christian (and occasionally lied about her ancestry), the judge allowed her to remain in the camp instead of being sent to the gas chambers.
“Better living conditions in the labor camps,” Rachel said, “and shared suffering with fellow prisoners. It’s like a family!”
“It’s true! I’m poisoning the blood of the German people! I suck.”
Save me king trump you’re my only hope!
I mean she kind of has to. Probably the only chance she has.
Unironically the first time he’s being consistent with the “law,” where it applies to everyone even his supporters.
I wonder if this is some play by her to get trump to swoop in and save her.
Any bets on her being deported to Iran?
Unless the US bombs her in Iran, she’ll be better off.
Lol. Prisoners treat CP inmates better than her countrymen would treat her. She wouldn’t last a month.
That’s an ignorant take and a clear indication that you bought into the narrative that Muslims are evil. But let’s assume you are right, as an Armenian she could also go to Armenia.
I somehow feel like a Christian American Trump supporting woman would not be welcomed back into the Muslim world with open arms. I’m sure her fate wouldn’t be the same in every country but “good” would not describe her future.
The word “evil” is meaningless. Cultures act and react based on their own rules. Honor killing exists. Stoning exists. Domestic slavery exists. If that’s how they want to live, have fun. But don’t pretend the Muslim world does not include these cultural practices.
