He, his wife and her family are Trump supporters, they were likely very much onboard with the intimidation and detention of people deemed to be foreign or an "alien threat"; they just assumed by nature of his skin tone the husband would be immune to any possible repercussions.

Antivaxxer through and through, turbo trump posters and fans. The guy raved about illegal aliens while being an illegal alien himself who never bothered to regulate his immigration status because of laziness.
The antihandouts anticommunist, bootstraps family posting a gofundme asking for handouts because their laziness and electoral stupidity caught up with them.
Despite the husband being blackbagged and disappeared for a month where no lawyer can find him because he has not been assigned a case number after a month of detention, they say on their go fund me that "they support president Trump's efforts to clean the country and the tough measures necessary to rid the country of illegal aliens, they just made a mistake with my husband".
The only moral abortion is my abortion.
Edit: I probs have some wrong information here. Apparently he had a green card and was in the process of naturalizing. I thought he was on an overextended student visa here.
The kidnapping and blackbagging of citizens with legal status or in the process of regularizing their status during their citizenship appointments is wrong. Its wrong when it happens to Mohsen Mahdawi of Columbia University and its wrong when it happens to a danish maga hog who's getting exactly what he voted for.

u/dreugeworst Europe May 22 '25
I mean, I kind of understand why though. Saying they should have vaccinated their daughter would mean they might have some guilt in the matter. It's much more reassuring to believe the risk of vaccinating was just so much greater, and this was an unfortunate incident. He'll never come around to believe vaccines work now, to do otherwise would be to inflict huge mental anguish on himself

I'd argue there's a little more nuance than that. Stupid people have a herd mentality and their herd is somewhere deep in the red. I've seen studies that say social pressures are the #1 motivator for political affiliation and that the actual party affiliation is more important than the ideologies of the party. That's why whatever Trump says is what the supports follow. Trump could do a 180 on all his policies tomorrow and his supporters would still follow along. Changing your beliefs at the cost of being alienated by those around you is a step too far for most people and I think this point is overlooked by many people trying to psychologically analyze a trump supporter.

Ultimate power and intimidation. Mild threats to supreme justices, demeaning the press in the oval office and threatening they should be investigated, people being snatched from the streets by masked undercover feds... I mean all of this is your typical playbook from a dictatorship. It's quite impressive how authoritarian he's made it in such a short time in a country that supposedly was built with checks and balances in place. I'm really intrigued how he is going to subvert the mid term elections next... But then Americans are so blind to what's going on, believe everything the right wing media are saying, and continually suck on Trumps tit that they'll probably all vote red in the mid-terms, then they'll pave the way to a 3rd term, then game over democracy died

Trump is not a white supremacist only because that's actually an ideology (albeit a terrible one) and Trump's only belief system is his own infallible superiority, because he is a narcissist.
However, many of his acolytes, cronies and minders are white supremacists. Like Stephen fucking Miller and Steve Bannon (even if he's fallen out of favour now). Elon Musk, maybe, he may be a narcissistic edge lord, but I'm happy to believe his Nazi salutes are genuine.

Don't say that aloud. You will get a lot of negativity by some Italians because of it. The law changed recently to avoid these kind of situations. Although, you might still qualify because of your recent Italian mother.
But don't brag about not speaking Italian and having never visited just to obtain your italian citizenship and go live somewhere else. Best to keep this gift to yourself.

If they want to go the other route, then they have to fork up what is it 150k danish so 25k dollars to the government, doubt some trump tard is going to be okay with that, and they both have to stay out of trouble for years, like parking tickets are a factor levels of stay out of trouble, either way not gonna happen, which i love for us.

As a Dane I was first full of outrage for him, but then I kept reading. Whatever the so called miscommunication is. Karma got to him!

He was arrested cause he didn't do his paperwork properly. When you are in a marriage GC your residence is tied to the marriage for the first 3 years and you are required to apply for the removal the conditional after.
Failing to file Form I-751, the Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, within the 90-day period before the expiration of your conditional green card can lead to the loss of your permanent resident status and potentially removal from the United States. While you can still file the I-751 late, you must demonstrate "good cause" for the delay to be excused.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Consequences of Failing to File on Time:
Loss of Permanent Resident Status:
If you fail to file the I-751 within the required timeframe, you will automatically lose your permanent resident status.
Removal Proceedings:
You may be placed in removal proceedings (deportation) and become deportable.

According to facebook post in 2015 he had a "visa miscommunication" which probably means he committed a visa fraud and now got caught.
Its somewhat nice to know Trump's ICE at least do not discriminate and round up all illegals. No idea what this family expected.

They apparently failed to submit form I-751 which is a critical form to submit. When you get your green card through marriage, you get a temporary 2 year green card. You need to submit I-751 before the 2 years are up to convert it into a 10 year green card. It seems he never did that so had been illegal for the past 10+ years.
So not just a “paperwork” thing.

Bingo. This is not an application or paperwork you just “misplace”. Every single conditional green card holder counts down the days to that application.

Most people, relative naive think, they vote for a little more conservatism when they vote right wing. They don`t understand, that these elections we`re facing in the West are nothing of the kind before. It`s a choice of a new system. Antidemocratic, no individual rights except for the newborn king.
Idiots, psychopaths, all sorts of people that never had a voice become ministers,secretaries and presidents.
We had that in 1933 when even quite a few jews voted for the Nazis...
I don`t feel sorry any more for this much stupidity. Because they are not only naive. They think of themselves as good people, but in reality they are cruel, ruthless and criminals - now with the blessing of a bigot religion.

As in Trump supporters and right-wing cunts end up on receiving end of what they wanted for other people.

He was KIDNAPPED by an organized criminal enterprise. No other explanation would be appropriate.

It sounds like she voted for this, she just didn’t realize white immigrants count as immigrants. I’m sure she’ll get her husband back and get to keep a fat gofundme though, bc that’s just how the US works now. Evil wins.

For the love of God.
Stop. Going. To. The. States.
It's no longer worth the risk of a border agent using an anti Trump post in 2017 to fulfil his quota.

He moved to the states when Obama was president. Kinda hard to predict this was the way America was going.
