Are all Republicans this childish and petty?
Edit: And this is the official White House account as well.
99.9% of them, yes
This is what they want. See, Trump is utterly destroying America's economy and nucleus of global hegemony. The people are in for increasingly tough circumstances as China just stops trading with America, and all previous allies start to shun the country. Trump is trying to grow the US military to start his fascist wars of conquest both south and north. This will also put the people in increasingly dire circumstances, both with the massive amount of death involved in such a conflict and in the mass reallocation of resources towards war efforts. He can't talk about those things openly to the people because he'd have to admit their lives are going to get significantly worse. So, what can he do instead?
He can do the same thing he's been doing the entire time. Build a fervore for ethnic cleansing and eugencist racialist politics. The people are trained to lap it up without even thinking, and they get genuinely itchy for their next fix. Who's the minority we're hating today? Who's the person of color we're going to commit vile acts of cruelty on today? Where do I direct my homicidal rage at the threat to my inherent superiority today? This is how they are. Every single day, Fox News, Twitter, and the White House all come together to deliver. They fill the bowl, and the bigots heads are down gorging themselves on it while their own lives are horrifically torn apart around them.
It doesn't matter what else he's doing. He's fighting DEI. He's putting black people and women in their place. He's making immigrants, muslims, jews, and the queers afraid again. His support base is unyielding. We know they will never yield because fascists never do. Even decades after the end of World War 2, many former SS and former Nazi supporters STILL thought Hitler was sent from God and that everything he did was right. Even as Soviet bombs were falling on their heads. The ardent supporters of fascism will support it literally until they die. They loved that Hitler was committing genocide. They loved that he was cruel and inhuman. They admired how the image he portrayed so neatly fit with their patriarchal worldview. Its why they supported him to begin with. Economy this, nationalism that, but down to the line it was all about cruelty.
Are the people who support these kinds of tweets petty and childish? Absolutely they are. This isn't even about pettiness though. This is what they voted for. They voted for people of color to suffer. They voted for immigrants to suffer. If it came out tomorrow that he died in that hellhole they'd all cheer.
So well stated.
Remember when you have been 16 and you fell for every single rage bait there is on the internet, wasting your next 2-3 years on defending gaming and your virginity from SJWs and radical feminism?
Imagine you never grew out of that. That’s your modern day republican.
Childish and petty? Or "winning"?
I feel like a corner piece of the puzzle of MAGA is feeling like some how sending a brown Maryland father to El Salvador makes them feel better about their shitty lives. It's a superiority thing.
And some how Trump and Fox News have convinced them that they share in the victories of guys like Mush and Trump enriching themselves.
My mom said something completely asinine (and factually false) once.
"I'm way too successful to be a Democrat."
If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.

They're actually not.
A lot of them are, and definitely the ones online 24/7.
But trump having the actual official White House communicate like this does add up and will hurt Republican votes.
trump isoving to fast and it's what's gonna end up stopping it. It's why I hate when people act like trump is the problem, if he died today Vance takes over and they do the same evil shit, just smarter about it
The boomers are dying off.
They’ve decided to go after the edge lord young men for their next voter base.
Unfortunately it appears to be working.
In the terminally internet-bound, this has led to some consternation.
Nowadays, yes.
The fact an official gov channel is posting this kind of childish shit is abhorrent and embarrassing. If I pulled shit like this at my job I'd be thrown out. Fucking slime.
Not just government -- the official White House account. It's... dystopian...
It’s… dystopian…
We've already used up our big words in February. Supercynical "I have no words" in March.
Now, the horror getting worse every day has become the new normal coming out of the US, every day, steady as a slow machine gun.
Had I known how much worse it's going to get I'd have saved up some words during the first months.
Nah in Dystopias the megacorps and evil governments tend to be intelligent and refined with armored limousines and some sense of style, even the glutenous autocrat steriotype tends to have a kind of weird refinement or at least be intelligent enough to not be ridiulous in public, or at least in the presence of a large number of guys with guns who can look meaningfully at anyone who might laugh.
What this is, is some weird idiocracy shit only without any of the redeeming characteristics of the people in that film.
I don't know how to express this feeling I have properly so bear with me. I kinda hate the reference of political office as a job. It's not really a job. It's a position of societal power. One that should come with, frankly, deadly consequences when people in that position of power start talking like this. This is a branch of the government saying fuck the courts and their decision. There should be blood over that. Equating it to a job just rubs me wrong. Not to shit on you, I have no problem with what you said, I agree with it even. Just expressing general thoughts
Yeah, a duty to hundreds of millions of people and the future, that one has to volunteer for and convince a plurality of their fitness for... not just a job that you should be able to neglect, let alone subvert.
Comments like this get deleted off reddit and the user flagged by the admins.
Btw I'm new here
Bro you aren't shitting on my post at all and I 100 percent agree.
"Civil Servant."
That's actually how democracy is understood in France ! The office you hold is a privilege and a responsibility : executive power delegated to you by the will of the people, underpinned by the rule of law.
You know your country political idea/marketplace of idea is turning to shit when the majority yearn for a providential man that will fix all their problem with the magic wand of repression and prejudice.
I didn't notice who posted it on X until I read your comment and I just.....I'm shocked I am shocked by this because I feel like I've been getting numb to the stupidity of the last ~4 months
If I pulled shit like this at my job I'd be thrown out.
Well they're supposed to work for us, so what's the next step?
Omg. I just realized this is really from The white house???!!??
I thought this was some stupid meme..... Omg
I just can't even.....omg
You should see the other stuff they post now: https://xcancel.com/WhiteHouse/
Oh dear fuck i looked at it and they made a covid.gov site that claims that covid originated from lab in Wuhan and was leaked. That fringe conspiracy now being peddled by the white house.
I'm gobsmacked.
What is xcancel?
You're not alone. I see this shit and I say aloud "woww" and pass my phone to my partner. I've never seen such unhinged shit from the official white house communications team.
This is stuff any self-respecting 15yo would be embarrassed to post. I know they have been posting other cringey memes recently too. Seems like the person managing the account came straight from 4chan.
cruelty is the point. guns.
Classless.
Let's do some fact checking.
THEY said he was wrongly deported. Repeatedly. And refused to do anything about it.
Our jackass Attorney General shared a link recently that said he had "no criminal background" and there's been no actual evidence that shows he was in MS-13.
And while I'm not sure of his technical, official status, I would say somebody who was allowed to stay in the United States by a judge because of dangers back home, isn't consider an illegal alien any more, but a political refugee who has asylum in our country.
You have to wonder if this whole thing is just a petty attempt at retribution by Trump, because this guy was allowed to stay in the country the first time.
You have to wonder if this whole thing is just a petty attempt at retribution by Trump, because this guy was allowed to stay in the country the first time.
I think it's simpler than that. Bringing him back would show they did something wrong, and that's obviously impossible, because he's the second coming of Prosperity Gospel Jesus.
It's even worse than that: he's testing the boundaries.
He's testing if he can get away with deporting an innocent man. He's testing if he can ignore the Supreme Court without consequences. He's testing if the Salvadorian president will stand firm and be his good little concentration camp boy.
If they are successful, it means they can imprison ANYONE they want to.
If they are successful, our Bill of Rights is about to come crashing down.
If they are successful, our Bill of Rights has come crashing down. Past tense!
He has a legal status similar to refugee, but not technically the same because he didn’t apply for asylum within a year of entering.
So yeah, not an illegal alien. Legal resident.
To get more technical, he had the kind of residency that has a higher standard than being an asylum seeker that prohibits them from being deported to the country they are from.
El Salvador was the ONLY place he was not allowed to be deported to.
His official status wasn't asylum per se, but his status was he could be deported ANYWHERE BUT EL SALVADOR if the courts deemed fit. Which he was not deported through the courts, and they sent him to El fucking Salvador, the one place it would be illegal to send him to.
This whole situation has me so pissed off, this country sucks.
They only say he was wrongly deported (kidnapped) under oath.
They didn't mean for this to happen.
Like hell. Especially since they're talking openly about kidnapping citizens and political opponents and sending them to the same fate.
The only incompetence was not having their messaging figured out beforehand.
That official White House X-account is really something. The utter shamelessness combined with the harrowing inhumanity would make Goebbels blush.
At the same time it is so honest and clear about the Trump administration's perspective on things it's refreshing. They don't hold back, there is no secret agenda, they just put it all out in the open for the Americans and the whole world to see. They really feel invincible.
I just hope they alienate enough people fast enough that we can see an actual effective check to this rogue administration. They're taking a lot of power pretty fast but also burning a lot of bridges.
Because they know something the rest of us don't - that they will never have to pander for votes ever again, because there will never be another election on the country.
I'm sure that's what they think.
I wouldn’t say there is no secret agenda. It’s clear the administration is not in the loop of what the secret agenda is. Their blatant anti-everything-non-white and overall incompetence and ignorance is enough right now to keep the divide and conquer going.
The most heavily armed country in the world is run by someone with the emotional intelligence of a rhubarb and a cohort of sycophants. This is gonna bode well.
They had their chance to show MS 13 gang membership in court, and failed. Screaming it over from podiums/media doesn't make it true, or a basis for jail/death camps.
This is the White House response, see if you can spot the fallacy: https://xcancel.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1913358867708493982#m
Didn't Ivanna accuse him of rape after she referred him to her doctor for a scalp reduction to make his bald spot less obvious and he got botched so he blamed her for it and then did the thing? Talk about bad people in the US some more, Trumplethinskin.
E: Ivanna not Ivanka, and scalp reduction not scalp removal
That is obviously shopped. Is the real photo anywhere?
Exactly! I dont give shit if he killed people on camera and confessed to a crowd. He has to go to court.
Truth doesn't matter to them, only power.
Screaming it over and over has never failed hi. So far.
I imagine Nazi Germany would have made very similar Tweets if Twitter was around back then.
Part of how you know that no one they send there is going to actually be a gang member or terrorist or anything like that. Those guys wouldn't be going without a fight. And with no due process and no chance of ever getting out, it's not like they have anything to lose.
Yeah I see that pic pop up a lot but I have yet to see the news about a huge shout-out between ice and immigrants
Because ICE is targeting people who aren't likely to be armed. As the net broadens and they start targeting more explicitly based on political affiliation, gender, etc. rather than just race, they'll start running into people who will shoot back
Hey DuckDuckGo, what percentage of Venezuelan and El Salvadoran immigrants are hardcore gun owners in the US? Oh.
The MAGA-sect comments are really frightening. Big resemblance to the Waffen-SS supporters like back in the day.
I uhh.
I think the "boring" part is over.
Yeah it’s just full on dystopia
They’re already openly saying there will never be another administration after this, either one way or another.
They know he can't live forever, right?
They know, that's why the oligarchs will prop another one.
I am of the opinion that Trump is a pazi should shit hits the fan. The billionaires-- the true rulers-- will be scot free if the American people decide to rise up.
Yes, but have you ever seen a vice president as visible and vocal as this one?
It can not be real. Opens the link... HOLY SHIT
The first word I'd remove is "Deported". Reporters, editors, citizens should stop using the crimebosses' lingo & framing. Mr. Abrego García is a (noncriminal) US resident. He wasn't deported. He's a first-generation American, #ABDUCTED by thugs, #TRAFFICKED by armed mercenaries, to a FOREIGN #tortureprison for profit, #slavery, #disinfo and #disruption.
Republicans and the Conservative Propaganda Machine has controlled the narrative in this country, political and otherwise, and your post is a perfect demonstration of it.
If Dems ever want to regain power, they need to learn how to counter the MAGA lies, and promote their own message loudly and clearly, and stop letting the Conservative Propaganda Machine define EVERYTHING.
Abducted or kidnapped?
So...
When he does come back, how fucking weak and stupid is Trump going to look?
He seems to think this is some liberal bullshit, he doesn't even realize that he's crossed the line
Jesus tapdancing christ
Biden had pea soup for brains and still the executive branch was more functional than this.
I don't know about that. The Trump team has been very sucessful this time around.
It's just that what they consider a sucess is really, really bad for the world.
Imagine official government account tweeting shit like edgy teenager. How can any country of the world take America seriously?
Also they themselves admitted it was a mistake and now thry are furiously claiming he was achtually a drug warlord and he's not coming back to USA. They aren't fucking serious.
That is actual contempt of court. Could I tell a federal judge to piss off if he gave me a court order?
How rich and well-connected are you?
Yes. If you're an oligarch in an oligarchy.
Are you a billionaire?
You could certainly try
If you were powerful enough, sure. The court is only as strong as its ability to enforce a punishment.
The president is exempt from criminal prosecution for things they did as part of their duties, and if no-one is willing to impeach or impose other punishments, they can be as contemptuous as they like. How would the court stop then?
It looks like we are about to find out.
Looks like libel evidence. Family should sue.
Seems to also be very brazen contempt of the supreme court.
it undermines their already blatant lie about "facilitating" his return.
inb4 the prison guards give him a gang tattoo to make Trump happy
The greatest country in the world my a**.
is america graet again yet?
Well we are certainly grating again.....
"So is the US the greatest country in the world?"
"The US isn't the greatest country in the Americas."
But Obama wore a tan suit once, and her emails.
They’re mocking the Supreme Court
I want this to be fake. This looks like some right wing troll post or some shit. If this is actually the white house, how embarrassing...
I can’t recall any scenario where Trump and his cronies aren’t cringey and childish, so it’s business as usual really.
Whitehouse comms is basically just being run by 4chan trolls at this point. Probably where they recruited from.
I went to check it out. It's 100% real.
As someone who looks illegal, I’m glad that I left on my own terms. I can’t imagine the horror this man and many like him are going through.
Wait, so now he's MS-13, not that other one Trump keeps butchering the name of? I know they provided zero proof of either, but still...
Now they're trotting out reports they've miraculously found of him being a human trafficker.
What, they're accusing him of being part of their administration?
What completely shit Christians Trump Republicans are.

Laws were passed that defined those who should be arrested as counterrevolutionaries, and committees of surveillance were set up to identify suspects and issue arrest warrants. Later laws suspended the rights of suspects to both legal assistance and public trials and mandated execution of all those who were found guilty.
Please do not romanticise such a horrendous period. If you hate McCarthyism, then you should absolutely despise this one.
Being labeled as the enemy during a revolution often means prison / torture / death, even if you're innocent !
Does the Grinch now manage the accounts for the White House?
Simply unworthy of any country. These are truly rogue state posts directly from the official White House account. Malicious. Vile. What a disgrace.
So let me know when you want to organize international brigades. John brown clubs are welcome to connect with me.
Asking this in public makes you look like a fool.
Not really , at one point or another you need to normalize it. Also doxxing me would be difficult.
So he visited him and then what…. Back into the cell? They didn’t take him right then and there?
I had the same thought, this is so peak lib.
You’re there with the guy, and you have a court ruling saying facilitate his return. Do that, by cuffing him to yourself, and demanding they let you both walk away. El Salvador don’t want heat from abducting a US statesman.
But no, this is just a photo op it seems.
I do appreciate the idea of the handcuff thing, but they'd just cut it off or pick the lock.
Even if they don't abduct him, they'd probably be more willing to rough him up.
Right, you the hero would cuff yourself to Garcia. Then the guards would simply stop you (possibly before you'd even manage to do it), unlock or cut the handcuffs if needed, forbid you from entering the country ever again if not outright prosecute you, and possibly put Garcia under even stricter control and isolation, to, you know, prevent having people try to get him out.
Because realistically considering the consequences is... liberal.
You are right. Please pm me your name and address and if you are ever deported to a torture camp in a foreign country I will let all senators know that you don’t want them to visit and will only accept help that meets lemmy.ml fever dream standards.
This post is so stupid it's embarrassing
Gotta say, detaining a sitting US senator would be a hell of an escalation.
I think they mean Garcia isn't coming back, not the Senator.
As is evident in damn near every Trump social media post, they're not big on things like clarity in writing, grammar, proper use of capitalization, correct punctuation or things as simple as a fucking paragraph.
Even spelling is optional apparently.
I think this is going to hurt the White House in the long run. By smearing these people individually, they are highlighting the fact that they are actual humans with life stories, rather than a swarm invading the country.
Implying that elections will have any meaning or impact next year
Nothing will "hurt" them unless there are consequences for their actions.
Ever time I think Republicans have hit bottom they find another shovel.
*pickaxe
*fracking drill
The New York Times should publish this as its front page tomorrow, with malicious edits and all, and address it below.
MS-13 member according to which judge and jury? What exactly is he charged with? As long as we're ditching the justice system, we the people might as well make some extrajudicial convictions too.
"MS-13" here just means "brown people."
Yeah, and the engagement metrics are massive. This reaching people. Heck, I wonder if more eyeballs see this than the actual NYT article.
God, anyone, please send some meteors to Twitter data centers. And Facebook while you’re at it…
Happy to see that the guy looks physically ok. Hope he returns safely home soon.
I can photoshop better than that.
Lock her up!
They're throwing Trump supporters a mental gymnastics buoy they can hold onto in this horrible situation that clearly makes Trump look bad. They just want something to believe in that makes them feel better about their current political views and positions. They don't care if it is true or not.
The Onion truly is fucked, reality has become more evil derp than they could ever make up
Jesus christ
No blue check mark, so surely this is a joke account.
Cruelty and punching down. Torturing Christians.
Somehow American Christians majority voted for this.
It's the White Supremacy House.
Is this real? Crazy if so. Or, I guess par for the course....
Go see for yourself, op posted a link to the tweet: https://xcancel.com/WhiteHouse/status/1913241658579440126
We will see a President Van Hollen in the White House next after Trump. Mark my words.
Is anonymous going to do anything?
We'll find out if they do something. The same way we would find out if someone did something anonymously.
