warning: politics ahead
who would’ve guessed that people whose entire ideological and political platform is built around hatred of minorities, especially a strong dehumanisation of immigrants as the purveyors of the supposed “destruction” of your country and almost all of its ills would turn on a south african billionaire immigrant who bought your country’s incoming president with what is essentially pocket change for him after he stopped being a useful non-stop dispenser of misinformation and fearmongering and instead has become a technocratic oligarch who’s only interests lie in ensuring he can make more money and have even less oversight over his companies that are given billions of tax dollars has overstayed his welcome and is now a liability to the true goals and motives of a hateful ideology that simply never actually liked him.
everyone thinks the leopards eating face party won’t eat your face because you’re not like the supposed “others” that they hate, when in reality they’ll eat your face the second you have lost your usefulness.
trying to comprehend this while one of my close friends & coworkers is fighting for her life to get a work visa is actually so heartbreaking D:
i’m so sorry, i really hope things sort themselves out! here where i live immigration is also a complete nightmare so i can’t even imagine the trouble it must be across the pond, best wishes to your friend <3
i lack the authority to thank you but that is very kind of you! here’s to kinder immigration policies for both our countries :,)
basically, elon is getting shit from maga because he made tweets that said he supports h-1b visas that are for high skilled foreign workers, which “have often been criticized by the left and right for allowing companies to rely on cheaper foreign labor. Companies also maintain significant control over such workers; it’s difficult for them to switch jobs, and if they lose their jobs, they can be forced to leave the country.”. it’s very ironic that elon said this, considering he supported and helped trump win the election where trumps main promise was to deport basically all immigrants when in reality they just use immigrants as a scapegoat and will happily use them if it means that don’t have to pay as high wages lmao. maga is now realising that maybe their billionaire buddy isn’t on their side and are now bullying him on twitter while he endorsed a tweet calling american workers “re*arded”
tl;dr everyone on the american right is learning they all hate each other at once
Wow.
That administration never ceases to prove that it is just a squad of evil villains with slightly conflicting evil plans which they will immediately backstab each other over.
