r/LeopardsAteMyFace - Salman Fiqy of Burnsville, Minn. is a Somali Muslim who loved Trump and the "culturally conservative" GOP. That is, until Trump savaged Somalis like him as "garbage" who should "go back to where they came from": "Everything came crashing down after those attacks."

 

r/LeopardsAteMyFace - Trump voters suffer because of Trump

One of the challenges that Trump is going to face is enough of his supporters are stupid enough to believe he will, or even should, reverse inflation - that things will go back to what they cost in 2019.  I heard it plenty of times with Biden : "He keeps saying that inflation is under control, but prices are still so high."  The goal shouldn't be deflation; it should be having wage growth higher than inflation.

Brown University, one of the most selective institutions in America, attracted nearly 50,000 applicants who vied for just 1,700 freshman seats last year.

The university accepted nearly equal numbers of male and female prospects, though, like some other schools, it got nearly twice as many female applicants. That math meant it was easier for male students to get in — 7 percent of male applicants were admitted, compared with 4.4 percent of female applicants, university data shows.

The Trump administration’s policies may soon put an end to that advantage enjoyed by men at some colleges, admissions and higher-education experts say.

Bingo.

Which is why this regime and its supporters absolutely do not want, and are actually 100% opposed, to "merit-based" admissions, hiring, etc.  Because it turns out that white men are pretty fucking mediocre.

Talk to anyone hiring higher-level professionals and such.  They'll tell you that out of the stack of resumes they get from grad programs etc., a vast majority of the good candidates are women and/or minorities.

“Sadly, the many immigrants who helped him get elected are the ones whose families will now pay the price,” Persaud wrote. 

Spoiler

The Trump administration’s recent decision to end immigration protections for Haitians shocked many in the migrant community, but for Caribbean-U.S.-based journalist Felicia Persaud, it was a predictable outcome driven in part by pro-Trump immigrant voters.

The Department of Homeland Security announced last month that it would be terminating Temporary Protect Status for Haiti, first enacted under the Biden administration due to the ongoing political instability in the Caribbean nation that has endured centuries of exploitation and political meddling from Western nations.

The announcement was made hours after the deadly shooting in Washington, D.C. in which an Afghan migrant was suspected of shooting two National Guard members. The Trump administration also announced that every Green Card Holder from a list of 19 countries “of concern” would be reviewed for possible revocation; all of which, Persaud noted, were non-white majority.

“Whether Trump is threatening Afghans, Haitians, Venezuelans, Iranians, or Somalis, the message is the same: Brown and Black immigrants are the enemy,” she wrote in an analysis published Friday in the St. Kitts Gazette. “White ones are not.”

With the Trump administration’s termination of immigration protections for Haitians, more than 500,000 Haitians in the United States now face deportation when the TPS expires on Feb. 3, 2026. The DHS website encourages Haitian migrants to self-deport, and promises them a “complimentary plane ticket” and a “$1,000 exit bonus.”

While white voters made up a majority of Trump’s supporters in 2024, a significant share of hispanic and migrant communities backed the current president as well, and in unprecedented numbers for a Republican presidential candidate. To those voters specifically, Persaud had a message.

“Sadly, the many immigrants who helped him get elected are the ones whose families will now pay the price,” Persaud wrote. 

“I’m referring especially to the Haitians For Trump and the Cubans, Somalians, Venezuelans and other Hispanic immigrants who despite hearing the xenophobic rhetoric for years and seeing it in action in the first administration, voted for him. Meanwhile, the truth is simple, as Jeremy McKinney of the American Immigration Lawyers Association noted: ‘Radicalization and mental illness don’t know nationality.’

From the comments: "All the work progressives and Democrats did to enfranchise people gave them a false sense of security that the days of open bigotry were over, that they could never be subjected to it again, that they had made it and were free to oppress those other undesirables.

Well, here we are."

Yup.

People are so fucking stupid that this needs explained constantly

Math.

People can't do "rate" because it doesn't get taught well and most people are lazy.

Simple test for it...

Lose 10%

Gain 10%

Is that positive, negative, or even?

Took a 5% pay cut one year. Got 2.5% raises the next two years. The lady was dumbfounded that I was still making less than I was two years earlier. So, no, people don’t Math.

I always use a bigger scale when I try to explain this to the moron class.  If you lose half your money (-50%), you need to double your money (+100%) to get back to where you started.

The "zero inflation" misunderstanding drives me nuts.  So what you actually want is to go into what amounts to a depression?

Yes.
They do.
That is how stupid this timeline is. They think that economic collapse is what winning looks like.
For example “low gas prices means we’re winning!” That only comes about one of two ways: 1) increased supply. That’s not happening enough to have an appreciable effect on prices at the pump. Instead, in recent history, what has caused cheaper gas prices for a period has been 2) reduced demand. And what reduced demand the most? Reduced economic activity. There’s another factor too (which Trump has literally declared war against): increased use of EVs (another element of reduced demand).
Bottom line, you ge cheaper gas when the global economy is shit. And Trumpkins celebrate that. Because we are beyond the point of infinite stupidity.
