Key facts here:
- He entered the us legally, with an appointment to apply for asylum
- He had a Michael Jordan tattoo
- US officials decided he was a gang member based on this, even though officials “found that he did not appear to have ties with the Tren de Aragua,” the gang he is accused of belonging to
Yeah, I hate this kind of statement.
No. I personally did not ask for this.
I did not want this.
I will not take responsibility for this.
I will not allow you to rope me into your attempt to diffuse reponsibility.
I, myself, am increasingly at risk of finding myself shipped off to Guantanamo Bay. Every immigrant they do this to brings them one step closer to me. Call me selfish, but imo I have no duty to anyone when it comes to cleaning up the mess that I voted against. Instead, I’m gonna be finding ways for myself and other trans people to get out of the country while I still can.
You can claim responsibility and try to clean up if you want to, but I’m gonna be trying to leave.
Sure, let me just fly across the atlantic to clean up the mess that you made while you and all the other ones responsible flee the mess.
That’s not how this works.
Germany and the germans had to take responsibility for what the Nazis did. The same way you and all us-americans will have to take responsibility for what Trump does/will do.
Weasling yourself out of your responsibilities is highly irresponsible, disrespectful to all of Trumps victims and is directly enabling fascism. Remember that most Germans weren’t Nazis, they were just willing enough to stand by as the Nazis commited their crimes. Enabling a genocide still makes you responsible for a genocide.
The quote of Martin Niemöller comes to mind.
And if you really want to leave: Please don’t come to Europe. We already had one Martin Niemöller and learned our lesson, we don’t need you anymore for that.
Ah, yes, I forgot that the Jewish Germans, LGBT Germans, disabled Germans, and so on, had to take responsibility for what the Nazis did to them. I forgot that it was their fault that the Nazis got to where they did, and furthermore, it was their fault for not doing enough to stop the Nazis. Don’t want to be genocided? Just say, “no”!
I’m trans. I’m next in line. You’re victim-blaming, asshole.
Edit: I voted for Harris, not Trump. Why don’t you go ahead and tell me I shoulda voted third-party or something, hmmm? Or should I have picked up a gun and exercised my 2nd amendment rights? Go ahead, tell me how I’m responsible for this.
I’m not stupid.
I didn’t vote for that orange piece of shit.
Yet this isn’t the first time someone’s demanded that I take partial responsibility for my own oppression.
I’m with you here, I’m so sick and tired of the “please fuck us up we deserve it” rhetoric. personally I’ve been through enough anguish and i just wanna be left alone, but now i gotta worry about me and my partners survival.
When everything boils over, know that I will rip and tear through the fascists in your name. All my love to those who need to leave. I will have my pounds of flesh.
