Summary
Bradley Bartell, a Trump voter, says he does not regret his choice despite his wife, Camila Muñoz, being detained by ICE after their honeymoon.
Muñoz, a Peruvian citizen seeking a green card, overstayed her visa due to the pandemic. Bartell criticized ICE’s inefficiency but still supports Trump, hoping he improves the system.
His story highlights Trump’s mass deportation policies, which have led to arrests of nonviolent migrants and even legal residents.
Muñoz remains in ICE custody as her case proceeds.
MAGA is the mental illness of conservatism in its final fascist-death-cult form.
Don’t look up!
These fucking people prove how thin the line between stupidity and evil can be.
It’s not even a line, it’s an overlap in a Venn diagram. A fairly large one.
“Sorry babe, it’s for the greater good! The greater good being me not showing an iota of remorse or embarrassment or me admitting I’m wrong.”
That’s one way to get rid of your wife. Snitch on her to ICE. Or at least for douchebags.
Unless the guy in the article is posting here, I don’t understand why my comment was removed. I was right, the guy looks like an incel and I’m not backing down from that opinion.

“criticized ICE’s inefficiency” so they didn’t deport her fast enough for him.
Deportation is cheaper than divorce.
Now both will happen
Seems like that leopard hasn’t eaten enough of your face.
Or he just doesn’t really love her and maybe he already has his sights set on some new lady.
I wouldn’t even rule out that he or a close family member might have been the one to call ICE.
You’d think he’d do that before the expenses of a soon-to-be irrelevant wedding.

IDK, I think this is a great example of how insidious the republican propaganda truly is. Going by whats in the article, it seems like he really does love his wife. The issue seems to be that
he’s fundamentally an idiothe really believes in the myth of Trump as the maverick beltway outsider who’s lack of government experience means he’s the only one able to clear up the injustices and inefficencies of our current government.Speaking with Newsweek, Bartell described the emotional toll of watching his wife being detained. “It’s all been a nightmare really, taking things as they come and moving forward,” he said. “We have an attorney. The system for getting people through seems to be very inefficient, so it is taking longer than it should.”
Regarding Trump, Bartell said: “He didn’t create the system, but he does have an opportunity to improve it. Hopefully, all this attention will bring to light how broken it is.”
Seriously, this is what they believe. MAGA voters aren’t the crazed immigrant-hating bible-spewing few that grab attention and make such a convenient person for us to hate, they’re average people who can generally identify the injustices of the system… but have been sold the idea that, somehow, trump is going to fix them. And not just fix them, fix them so the people who let them get this way will be punished for their willful nay intentional neglect and therefore geit their just comeuppance for all the cruelty they inflicted by being such
jewsgreedy, lazy, people.… yeah, so this guy is a Grade-A imbecile, but hes been drinking a very cloying brand of kool-ade that presents the cruelty as anyone else’s fault besides the republicans.
Regarding Trump, Bartell said: “He didn’t create the system, but he does have an opportunity to improve it. Hopefully, all this attention will bring to light how broken it is.”
Hey dipshit, under Biden your wife wasn’t deported. Trump did that.
Who does your conservative-rotted pea brain think broke it?
In his mind, it’s probably Biden’s fault.
They’re often not even that partisan, they assume biden is just yet another symptom of the corruption thats been ongoing for decades. Centrists that croon on about how Both Sides Are The Same don’t just mean that Dems are corrupt, it means republicans are too. Thats why they’re so quick to turn on their own if they don’t fall in line with trump - hes the only one that isn’t an insider, so anyone that opposes him is clearly trying to defend or protect the old corrupt government, and therefor isn’t really on their side.
they’re average people who can generally identify the injustices of the system
In general conservatives can’t see the injustice of the system until it affects them directly.
Well, no. You’re absolutely right. Conservative media doesn’t tell them about it, liberal media is (they’re told) full of manipulated lies, how else are they going to learn about how unjust the system is, besides firsthand experience? They’re effectively denied any other avenue to find out.
The question then becomes how many times does that scenario need to play out before they finally realize what’s actually happening?
I firmly believe something needs to be done about the thousands upon thousands of churches preaching MAGAism and pretending it’s Christianity. So much of what’s wrong can be directly traced to that.
Fair enough, maybe I was too harsh.
Thanks for doing the research.
Stupid is as stupid does sir.

Take my wife, please.
Not only was she out of his league, soon she will be out of his country too.
But Trump tho.
Kelly/The Onion comic where the guy is happy they’re deporting his wife
Let’s assume he actually loves his wife, and then let’s assume she gets to stay, and gets her citizenship or a green card. Will he still support Trump after the third or fourth time ICE picks her up? They don’t seem particularly concerned about whether the person they’re abducting is here legally or illegally.
