Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
  7. This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
  8. All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

A Texas woman who voted for President Donald Trump told Newsweek that federal agents detained her longtime childcare provider at a routine immigration check-in and later notified her that she faced more than $1.8 million in civil immigration penalties.

"Joyce is really the epitome of the American Dream. She's raised two kids on her own. She's worked two jobs for 15 years. She fully supports herself. She's been completely compliant."

Who the fuck dreams of working 2 jobs for 15 years!? - Nobody wants to do that.

Or is it the selfish maga voter's american dream that is being referred to? Having found someone who accepted exploitation and wage slavery without complaint is the dream??

Their image of what they consider "one of the good ones" wants to do that.

The american dream is a sick, twisted delusion...

It’s the selfish one. Maga voters want brown people to shut up and do as they’re told.

What kind of fucked up dream is that?

~~She raised two kids on her own(and with the help of a nanny who was probably paid like shit due to her immigration status).~~

Joyce is the immigrant nanny who was picked up by ICE, not the regretful MAGA voter.
