NEED TO KNOW
Arpineh Masihi, a Trump supporter and Iranian immigrant, was targeted by ICE and taken from her home on June 30
Her husband, Arthu Sahakyan, told a local news station that even though he misses Masihi, he still supports the Trump administration’s efforts to vet Iranian nationals
When asked whether he would take his MAGA flag off their house while his wife is detained, Sahakyan replied, “No, the flag stands”
Anyone who’s new to watching a trump administration - I gather a lot of you were, y’know, younger the first time around - It’s important to remember: there is no bottom. Each and every new low is soon passed by an even lower low. It never ends.

I honestly think their marriage was in shambles and he’s glad he doesn’t have to deal with it. That’s the only way this makes sense.
Dont overlook the simple explanation that it’s a legitimate honest to god cult. Not an iota less cultish than Jonestown. The antivaxxers who lost a 6yo daughter felt no remorse either and did not change their minds on vaccines. These kinds of people have been willingly programmed into a nationwide cult. Idk what reconstruction will look like but unless it makes Sherman blush, there’s no saving this country.
TBH even most real cults aren’t so cartoonishly evil to get you to sacrifice your wife.
Bible cults most certainly are, and the beliefs of the family that lost their child to measles is clearly one of those. They constantly make their followers do things against their self interest: tithing, eschewing modernity, having dozens of kids, mass suicides in the extreme cases.
That actually is a good explanation which also explains how ICE found out about her.
We are under a dictatorship. Think theough the possible outcomes
Is he continues supporting Trump, he may get an exemption as a reward for his continued support despite a large news story developing
If he speaks out against Trump’s policies, he’s effectively guaranteed not to get an exemption. Anti-Trump citizens are freqently attacked. They may come up with arbitrary crimes to charge him with, similar to Abrigio Garcia His own citizenship may be in jeopardy, as Trump has stated he may strip citizenship from those he disagrees with
For him personally, it’s an obvious choice: Publicly support Trump, as it maximizes your personal gains
That or he needs his MAGA social circle so can’t show he’s abandoning their cause.
Trump doesn’t understand what he’s doing, but somehow, his supporters do.
He works in mysterious ways 🥴
Donald diddy my savior my christ my king
With a few exceptions, no MAGA knows what they’re doing, but they assume that the others know.
This is the sort of authoritarianism that George Orwell imagined.
Isn’t it amazing how it’s impossible to make a bad move in 4D chess?
its called the weave, 9 differnet things all incoherent meshed into one algamation of a thought, only his supporters can decipher.
Cultist gonna (behave like they belong to a) cult
“No, I wasn’t expecting the leopards to eat my face, but I’m sure it was for the greater good. I still support the leopards. Although, I will miss my face and I don’t know what it did wrong, this is the wisdom of the leopards and it is not meant for me to know.”
iran has leopards, cheeeths and lions.
“I’m very for [the United States vetting] Iranian nationals because of the sleeper cells,” Sahakyan told Fox 11. “I think it will resolve a lot of issues because we’ll know exactly who’s in here for what reasons, even though I miss [my wife] dearly.”
Unbelievable. Just unbelievable. They’re married! It’s a family bond! Imagine being married to a person that’s like “sure, they took my spouse to a torture prison on foreign soil so I’d never see them or even their grave again, but they’re torturing them for the greater good™️, so while I kind of miss them, I’m sure it’s for the best of everyone. It was fun while it lasted.”
If I ever returned, I’d skin them alive. That, too, I think would resolve a lot of issues.
It’s even weirder that judging by the names (wife’s first name and husband’s second) they are a pair of Iranian Armenians. It’s not as if Trump hadn’t broken every promise given to Armenians in the US.
my sister is married to someone like this and he also has a trump flag on the house they both live in.
i’m happy that my sister and nephews are all white-passing so that she’ll never have to suffer through an ordeal like this; but at the same time i frustrated that she thinks it’s fine and will never understand why it isn’t
It’s common sense to support a dictator holding your wife hostage
What’s he supposed to do, speak out against the guy holding his wife?
In a democracy, his support for Teump would be questionable. We are no longer in a democracy. Supreme leader takes your family, you thank him and hope for leniency
They think they’re following a super genius playing 4d chess. They’re following a pigeon with a bomb strapped to itself shitting on a chess board
following a pied piper off the cliff.
This guy would drink the flavour aid without a second thought. Or a first one.
Heartwarming story. Sounds like it happened to a very deserving couple. Maybe ICE can come back and reunite them in custody?
From the outside, it appears people like this have been trying to get rid of their spouses and this is a excellent scapegoat.
it is, also if you want to raise house prices in the area, or buy it on the cheap.
If that were my husband, I’d be considering divorce. At least if I ever got out of the gulag.
I’d be considering going full Lorena Bobbitt.
You wouldn’t want to go off half-cocked.
Ideally you’d catch warning signs before you ever got married to him. My guess is a lot of those who are detained who are married to Trump supporters also support the detention of immigrants and just never thought it would happen to them.
sometimes people can change suddenly, like with the pandemic and the election year, suddenly they switched sides.
What a worthless fuck.
Won’t even protect his family.
That man is not a man or a husband. He’s a fucking blow hard coward. Every maga is
“Trump is not trying to do anything bad,” Arthu Sahakyan told the local news after his wife was taken from their California home. “He wants the best for the country”
You’re a fucking moron and we’ll be better off when they deport you too.
It’s incredible to me how some people (my own mother included), believe that this asshole cares about this country AT ALL.
