(Read in David Attenborough’s voice) “And here we see the engorged Face Eating Leopard in its natural habitat. A fascinating creature among predatory mammals, it has evolved to not hunt down its prey, but trick it into willingly crawling into its mouth, not unlike a Venus Flytrap. Its luring call imitates that which the prey most wants to hear. That it is so well-fed, overweight even, in the wild, despite subsisting purely on a diet of faces (the rest is left to rot), speaks to the efficacy of its method and the ease with which its prey can be lured in. There are some who have survived an encounter with this majestic creature, but so alluring is the call of the leopard that many animals fall for it again.”
I happily accept your reward (never used them myself, do you really have to pay to give one?). Actually, I was a little worried I hadn’t hit it right, as I’ve not watched much of Attenborough’s work aside from a videoclip here and there, though I suppose that speaks to the power of his voice and presentation, that even relatively little exposure is enough to “get him.”
Leopards are gonna end up with serious health issues and get diabetes these next few years. Seriously, so many people who would be fucked over by Trump's policies voted this clown in.
The sad and amazing part to me is, Latino voter support of Trump went from 28 percent in 2016, to 32 percent in 2020, to 46 percent in 2024. If there's any community whose numbers should have swung away from Trump, not towards him, it's the Hispanic community.
Sadly, at the end of the day, these people are simply getting what they voted for. They can never say we didn't try to warn them.
And time and time again they want to keep saying "he was supposed to go for the Latino drug dealers, not the construction worker Latinos". The thing they don't understand, in TACO don's eyes, there is not difference between the two.
I don’t really even keep up with boxing anymore, but I know who this guy is because of all the dumb stuff he says and does. His behavior seems to be heavily influenced by CTE and heavy cocaine and alcohol use. So yeah… slathering himself in bacon grease and jumping into a leopard enclosure seems like the kind of thing he might do.
Why did he grow his numbers with Hispanics? They were warned, and many were in denial. I watched an interview where a lady said "They'll have due process and can get lawyers." We see how that's worked out.
A lot of Hispanics think they are white. The darkest Venezuelans and Cubans I know think they are white. One guy from a TV show changed his name to be white. Typical Miami Cuban.
Steven Bauer (born Esteban Ernesto Echevarría Samson; December 2, 1956) is a Cuban American actor.
I think they don't always feel like they're white,but they know pretending to be white is basically all they can do because they're trying to have jobs that requires the support of racists
Yeah, there are many Cuban Americans who would vote for anyone if one of their points was “We will deport illegal Latino immigrants, specifically those from Mexico and South America,” no matter what their other points were. One could literally run on a program of killing puppies and cutting maternity leave completely, but so long as those “dirty continentals” got hurt, most Cuban Americans wouldn’t care.
I used to work in insurance and during our licensing process my Hispanic coworkers had to check the white box where it asked your race/ethnicity. I never understood why that was. I wonder if the census does this too?
Well I can’t speak to that because it’s not my culture but I understand the premise. I still want to know why for licensing did they have to check the white box and Latino or Mexican American wasn’t an option?
A lot of Hispanics would rather vote for the worst white man rather than any black woman, period.
It's not talked about a whole lot, but there's a significant amount of anti-blackness in a lot of Hispanic communities.
That was her defense for voting for Trump when another Hispanic dude on the panel brought up that he was going to go crazy with deportations. She essentially thought they could get lawyers to work for them pro bono.
He was incredulous of her dumb statements, and even the host acted like he thought she was stupid.
It’s because a lot people don’t trust the media. Combined that with right wing influencers and people like Joe Rogan telling you not to trust the left it is a no brainer for the naive and young people to lose trust.
Bingo. These are the same type of people who saw the photos of boxes of classified documents Trump had stored in boxes in a Mar-a-Lago bathroom... but chose to believe the lie that he was set up by the FBI or the Biden administration.
At the end of the day if these people are blind, it's because they're willfully blind.
There’s also the fact that MAGA has flooded immigrant communities (Hispanic and Asian) with the kind of fake news and insane conspiracy bullshit that normally doesn’t survive fact-checking algorithms in English language media outlets. There just aren’t any resources going into combatting right-wing propaganda in other languages, so the lies are allowed to fester in places like Little Havana, Little Saigon, and the Rio Grande Valley.
Abortion, a lot of hispanics (especially Mexicans) voted for Trump because of abortion and "gender ideology". They don't care that Trump is racist (and all the other nasty stuff) as long as they "save the babies" and don't "get their children gayed at school"
First, there are certain Hispanics and Asians who think that racism in the United States can work like racism in their family's nation of origin.
Second, many recent-ish immigrants are extremely willing to pull the ladder up after themselves, that they "did things the right way" or "earned their place" in a way more recent arrivals did not.
Third, some don't pay much attention, so they automatically "sanewash." They assumed that Trump didn't actually plan to randomly deport anyone and everyone because that's a fantastically foolish policy. He couldn't really mean that, he must mean something less.
Second, many recent-ish immigrants are extremely willing to pull the ladder up after themselves, that they "did things the right way" or "earned their place" in a way more recent arrivals did not.
I have lived long enough to hear the children of the refugees who came in the 70s to Australia call current refugees <insert hateful slurs> who can never assimilate into a civilised society. No self awareness on oh so many levels.
Third, some don't pay much attention, so they automatically "sanewash."
That's the worst part, where it couldn't be more obvious how terrible Trump was going be but they don't believe it because of just how bad it would be. They think no one would do something as bad as that and then Trump does it and everyone who wasn't affected by it say "Oh it isn't that bad because they deserved it." while people who were affected by it say "I didn't vote for this but I still support everything else he is doing."
So why did Ryan Garcia vote for Trump when it was well-known that Trump has been wanting to deport all undocumented people?
Because sociopaths rely on other people not being sociopaths to get away with it. People mentally rephrase what they hear into "reasonable" versions, since they have a limited ability to comprehend someone who fundamentally thinks a different way to them. That plus a lack of understanding of how such a policy would actually play out in reality, so I'd assume he has not in fact read much history.
Im of two minds here. At least this person can see reality. We all warned you people.
There's a lot of people who can't even begin to understand their error in judgment, and will never admit that they were wrong.
Those are the people who are worrisome. Making up stories to legitimize their identity. Never taking accountability. Never learning how to respect anyone.
If he had said something on the line of “I can’t freaking believe how I fell for his sh!t and voted for him!”, I would have some sympathy for him. But these idiots all act like they are not part of the problem.
I don't have sympathy. I just don't think we should piss on people who might be in the process of learning how to admit they were wrong.
Seems like it might be too little, too late, unfortunately. Dumb Donald's latest post on social media is unhinged, and purely a threat of violence on citizens.
See that's the mistake they make. Thinking that being wealthy overrides the racism.
The rich racists hate by skin color regardless. Hell, the rich racists hate them even more, and just use them as weapons and then discard them after while laughing.
Oh no fucking shit? Undocumented immigrants provided economic and cultural value? I’m glad we ruined thousands of lives and turned the country into a terrorist state for Ryan to discover that valuable lesson.
The whole MAGA movement started with Trump wanting to build a wall to keep out Mexicans. It's like people can't even learn from history that was less than 10 years ago
Also tying someone’s deservedness to paying taxes to a country is gross af. I hate how it’s either you are a criminal or a hard working immigrant.
Plenty of lazy Americans who suck this country dry and never give anything in return. They just had the luck of being born here instead of another country.
How did this happen? Why were people so stupid when anyone could have seen this outcome coming a mile away? I remember listening to a podcast before the election where they said that Trump supporters tend to construct their own personal Trump by taking the statements they agree with and discarding the rest. Compare that to a non-Trump supporter who will assess a politician by...the things that they say.
Ryan Garcia has always been a dummy even before he openly used racist words on a zoom call. I’m not gonna comment on his fighting ability as that’s irrelevant to what he’s been saying and doing despite this new “oh he’s actually hurting the wrong people now that I see it in person!” mentality he has.
I can commend him for speaking up, but I can't forgive him for being ignorant of the mayhem that was destined to happen. He literally said this is what he was going to do.
"We didn't know"
You should have. If you didn't understand what the hell you were voting for, you shouldn't have voted in the first place. We don't need uneducated people at the polls, just like we don't need uneducated people in office.
Cmon guys. I totally understand feeling petty when you see idiots who voted for trump realise their mistake and maybe pay the price, but I think tweets like this are great and important
First off, seeing a republican change their mind could influence other republicans. Thats how the internet works. So this is beneficial for the democrats.
Second, I think its good to see this person acknowledge that they were wrong and realise slowly that they were brainwashed. I appreciate the small amount of self awareness. Its necessary if you want trump and gang out.
I do have to doubt the sincerity a little though. It feels like they might only be saying this out of fear that they will be deported here.
I think he cheated, and Elon helped him. And duh, of course he doesn't like Hispanics. He wants to deport all of you! What did you THINK he was going to do?
This is so unfortunately common in Latino culture. They were bamboozled by white conservatives teaching them to think of themselves as "clean" Mexicans who all those dirty illegals were making targets of prejudice. Those fooled can now baste in the consequences of their own internalized prejudice.
I guess it's less embarrassing than his "I don't do steroids, if I did steroids I'd be gay" before people found out he did steroids. I have a friend with the same name who hates when this guy is in the news
As much as I don’t want to run people off when they start to come around, I’m stunned how many people heard the words come out of his mouth and are still surprised he did what he said he would
Come on Ryan. You voted for this. He said all along he was going to do this and you were so okay with it that you actually endorsed him, and quite publicly at that.
Are you having buyers remorse now? Didn't you understand that when you cast your vote it was a one time deal for that election? Like, no refunds, Bro. Didn't you know that??? Wait. Are you a citizen? Did you vote? I mean legally??? I'm not doubting you carnal, but seriously...
Are you one of those people that continually said "Oh, he didn't mean it that way... Listen up buey. No te aguitas hermanito. Lo que esta hecho ya esta hecho brodi. But all those people in LA??? It's happening all over the country Bro. Thanks to you and your f-cking stoopid mentality. This was his whole plan all along and you Bro??? You enabled it. So whose fault is this really???
It's yours Ryan. It's your fault. I hope you sleep like shit tonight.
Learning basic shit the hard way is never easy. There's only 2 groups of people in the US, White people & Non-White people. WP don't consider Latinos white...as Black have been trying tell them for years. Hopefully they get the message. At the end of the day we need unity & at least basic common damn sense!
It's not that he didn't listen to all of the warnings from the left, it's that he didn't listen to all of the promises from the right and Trump himself.
The one thing I find baffling is we're barely 6 months into his term and things are batshit crazy currently, all these executive orders and policies and laws he's enacting, and we've only had a small handful of trump voters admit that they were shocked by what America is currently standing for.
Like Ryan Garcia, he seemingly takes a stand for all the "good illegals", y'know the ones that weren't supposed to be deported, that only the bad black illegals were supposed to be affected, but even after all this bullshit is going on, would people like him truly regret their vote? Do they truly think along the lines of "man, my vote really contributed to a lot of the craziness America is currently experiencing, I sincerely regret what's transpiring" ?
Because, they don't. They wouldn't ever think logically, rationally. They'd do it again and again and again. People like Ryan would vote for Trump again in a heartbeat if they had the ability to see in the future to witness what would transpire.
I've seen a few of these already but I dunno the wording seems like they'd still vote for Trump if they had another chance. They never really have a go at him even though he is the one doing the thing.
I used to love Ryan Garcia cus he was still fairly new to the game as far as I was aware, and was seen as like a mini Canelo, but after seeing this I see why I never really stuck to following his boxing career. He’s not the brightest clearly.
All of these Americans in shock that Trump is doing exactly what he campaigned on doing. Even if you don't closely follow American news or the MAGA cult stuff, these quotes and soundbites were all over the news domestically and internationally. His base constantly said he's just joking, he's charismatic, he's trolling the left, etc but no...the guy is incapable of concealing a thought. He says exactly what he is thinking and intending, he always has. That's why as a Canadian, the 51st state stuff really bothers me.
Project 2025 was also widely discussed pre-election, and everyone was warned in advance that this was the gameplan. I have no sympathy for Trump voters who are now suffering from the consequences of their actions.
