Summary
Bradley Bartell, a Trump voter from Wisconsin, started a GoFundMe to raise $3,000 for his wife Camila Muñoz’s bond after ICE detained her.
Muñoz, a Peruvian citizen, overstayed her work-study visa due to the pandemic and was seeking legal residency as Bartell’s spouse. She was arrested returning from a honeymoon in Puerto Rico.
Bartell continues to maintain that he does not regret voting for Trump.
Since Trump’s return to office, ICE has arrested over 90,000 immigrants.
Yeah no. Consequences of actions. Didn’t your mother teach you?
Donating thoughts and prayers 🙏
Use your own bootstraps.
No. Fuck you for asking, Bradley Bartell.
This x100.
Sending you thoughts and prayers, like you always do too, prayers are to baphomet, though
My vote for Harris was my attempt at helping you. Looks like you’re gonna need some bootstraps, bud.
You wanna know what you could have done to avoid it? Not vote for the obvious fascist. He literally told you he wanted to do this since 2016.
You can’t fix stupid. Brad I hope you’re suffering as much as your wife.
Fuck no, Brad, donations for rich people and leftists, and we know you’re neither. Trump the fuck up and get you 6-9 other jobs to pay for what you want. Lord helps those who help themselves, and your own bootstraps n shit.
They thought Trump was gonna make them all so rich, now they’re begging for money and eggs. And it’s just the beginning.
Stay in school.
Sch… school? They’re dismantling the public institutions keeping education accessible. If they get their way, it’s going to be straight to the farm, factory, and then Republican ballot boxes 18 years later.
$3,000? Why won’t he use the money trump saved him on eggs?
If this man were to voice any sentiments short of full-throated Trump endorsement, would it make him more likely to see his wife again?
He could be terminally stupid, or this could just be the MAGA version of respectability politics. Pretending you’re still one of the good ones so the leopards stay away from your face long enough for you and your loved ones to escape.
Shooting yourself in the foot
Americans doing a GoFundMe is always funny to me. Like you clearly understand if you pool together money, you can make a big impact. For example when little Timmy needs a big operation and can’t afford it, people can start a GoFundMe, everyone chips in a little bit of money and Timmy is covered. So if we scale that up a bit… NO, THAT’S COMMUNISM!
Considering communism has a centrally planned economy this is not analogous at all. You’re thinking more in line with social programs which I do agree
It’s racism. In America the answer is almost always racism.
Basically, with a GoFundMe, or ‘churches taking care of the poor’, or whathaveyou, you can make sure your money goes only to the poor Good Christian white folks, and none of it gets used to help those icky brown folks. Unlike government programs which have to help everyone equally.
The thing is… I’m sure this is how other Trump voters look at him, too. Especially white people with no latino family or friends.
They just see him as a rube.
