“I haven’t seen Mexico since I was four,” Ceballos said. “I don’t speak Spanish anymore. If I get deported, it would wreck my life.”

A little-known fact is that Hitler's purge of Ernst Roehm and other brownshirts acquired the name "Night of the Long Knives" because Hitler used the phrase (which dates to medieval times) to describe what Roehm allegedly had planned for Hitler in a speech shortly after the event. Hitler never intended his own actions to be called that.

Ceballos also acknowledged that he “probably” voted for Kobach and former president Donald Trump several times because he automatically selects the candidates with an “R” beside their names.

Absolute fucking numpty here.

The problem is that a 54-year old Kansas mayor is somehow technically not a citizen, after living here for decades.

That makes no sense.

He shouldn't have voted, and should have known not to, but he didn't expect this because he's stuck in a system that's been screwed up for decades. One that Congress won't reform precisely to leverage it as a wedge issue like this. And now that debt has come due.

If I get deported, it would wreck my life.

He was all for it when it was wrecking someone else's life.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 34 points 2 days ago (2 children)

He should go to Mexico and get a decent education because the US clearly did not teach him some basic ass fundamentals in civics and general comprehension.

i haven't been to Mexico since i was four. i don't speak Spanish. this would wreck my life!

awww, yeah? so now that you're being directly impacted by Trump's policies they've gone too far? could this have been avoided by not supporting a fascist perhaps? hmm..

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 112 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They think they're special and they can do anything they want because they're republican.

What do you MEAN I'm out of the in-group? I was in the in-group.

For those smarter among us, this is why we want laws that apply fairly to everyone.

I don't want a world where crimes are expected, and you just have to continually manage whose good graces you're in in order to survive.

You'd think billionaires of the 1990s would agree, but they can 10x their money if they just avoid falling out of windows.

The sheer stupidity of this guy. He wants position, image and power, at the expense of (checking notes), people just like him.

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 82 points 2 days ago (7 children)

He says:

I always loved Trump, this is unfair

That just shows how these idiots think. His opinion on Trump and his legal position regarding citizenship are in fact completely separate. But they don't see this.

They think along the lines of "The state shouldn't punish me, I am on the right side". That's the sort of underlying mental model of the world they have. It's unfathomable.

After 50 years on a green card, he never applied for citizenship?!

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (5 children)

I guess this question supports the theory that he never knew the difference between the two.

It's depressing to think someone could be so misinformed.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 day ago

Apparently he's been illegally voting the whole time, so it never made a difference to him.

I do not understand the cult of personality around Donald Trump he's the least appealing looking human who has ever existed, surely they could have found a more attractive cult leader. Most cults do.

Also how do you manage to get into politics and simultaneously be completely politically inept? You just get a free pass in the US if you just turn up?

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 28 points 2 days ago (2 children)

That's what gets me too. America has always been in a weird place where they blindly worship everyone famous. And they treat politics like a sport. So it's not surprising that some guy rolls around selling them monorails. But i expected that guy to look like george Clooney and the charisma or Vince McMahon or something.

But instead they get ripped off by the dumbest, absolutely vile looking and provably smelling human being i couldn't even imagine. He looks and acts like someone that a scientist had to invent in a lab. He is the villain from an Austin powers movie.

I read the comments. Its hard to spot but you can just make out the republicans. /s

I know you’re a democrat and thus don’t care about holding dems to account, but don’t think that republicans are equally lawless.

[–] Beero@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Fuckin ridiculous trash, Dems are the only ones who resign in shame after almost any scandal. Republicans have no shame it's why they never resign after a scandal, unless they're caught with a dead girl or a live boy.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Only time Republicans resign is when they see the shit heading for the fan, and they step out of the way to stay out of the spray.

Which is why you see so many Republicans quitting leading up to the midterms.

It's difficult to understand how a permanent resident would think he's a citizen and therefore eligible to vote.

I'm also questioning why the state of Kansas didn't verify his voter registration in any way.

The common theme is people who think they're the in-crowd bullying outsiders, discovering that no, they were never in the in-crowd, the in-crowd just told them they were for as long as it was convenient.

If you're even slightly any category of minority, and you vote Republican thinking that they'll count you as one of their own, then you've not paid attention in history class.

How did he get a ballot if he's not eligible to vote? At least in my state, you have to sign the voter register that has your name pre-printed. I suppose Kansas is different.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I suspect he registered to vote, and for whatever reason, the county/state failed to discover that he's not a citizen and approved his registration.

[–] Xella@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

This seems to be the exact scenario that MAGA is screaming over. Lol every accusation is an admission.
