I don't want to make this political
- Woman who was part of a political campaign
Because she's still a bourgeois Venezuelan ex-pat who wants the US to rescue her country from the nasty socialists. Back home, she's one of the whites but she's about to learn the hard way: Caracas white != Connecticut white.
This happens so much in Rio de la Plata "Somos blancos y europeos , somos italianos" which basically means "We're white and european, we're italian" ... but the thing they're actually saying is "I'm not native or black, fuck those people, I'm better than them".
When my in laws visited texas to see my brother in law though... in some rural parts, the advice was not to speak spanish.
Unrelated tip: Use a backslash before the dash like so
\-to preserve the dash rather than turning it into a bullet point.
If only there was an abundance of evidence that Don fucks over people when they’re no longer useful to him. This poor woman. Where did I put my tiny violin?
If only a certain everyone had told them they were hated by MAGAts and were voting against their own interests.
How is it possible to be so ignorant? If you had just paid attention to him for more than 10 seconds the past 10 years, you would have known he’s against you. It’s not that he’s shy about it or something.
Most people don't actually think. Most people have feelings that they justify.
Thinking is actually incredibly hard. It requires that you admit you're wrong sometimes. Justifying your existing feelings doesn't require that of you.
I’ve never been wrong. I must be the most rational person to ever exist!
"I don't want to make this political"
What does that even mean in this context?
Anything against Trump is seen as political to these people. She knows she is going against the narrative and knows people are going to give her shit for it.
I have two friends that said they used to listen to NPR but not as much "since they got all political" - meaning calling Trump's lies what they are, lies. In fact they're pretty soft on Trump compared to some outlets. It's frustrating.
Wouldn't it stand to argue that almost anything to do with Trump is political considering he's the president and the context here is Trump breaking promises made during a political campaign to persuade people to vote for him in a political election?
I'm being a bit pedantic here. It's clear what she meant was closer to, "Here's my controversial take, don't come after me". But suggesting that you're not being political in an inherently political matter just goes to show how little these people actually think critically.
That she's a moron. Which is even scarier as she's a moron who apparently has a habit of ending up in front of microphones.
You aren't paying attention.
edit; sorry didn't mean to be rude. it doesn't matter what's "political" or whatever. we just have to keep a laser focus on literally evrything, as much as possible, first real real big "political" chance to fight in Congress is 2026
During the campaign they talked a lot about cutting "legal" immigration too. You just didn't want to hear it.
they talked a lot about cutting “legal” immigration too. You just didn’t want to hear it.
No no, she wants that too. Many that are here don't want more, they're competing for the same resources.
It's the FU I got mine... Until it's taken away from them.
She votes with her gut and is surprised when she gets shit.
Stop
captioning
every
word
individually.
It
is
absolutely
useless
and
distracting.
It’s a built in CapCut captioning effect widely used by video editors on TikTok.
Speed reader applications have demonstrably proven that people can process word sequences MUCH quicker when you show sentences to them this way.
You can be annoyed by the style and how obtuse it looks in scale relation to the actual video content, but utility-wise, it’s objectively the “easiest to digest” way to display subtitles / captions.
TIL thank you
As someone with a hearing disability, it really irks me every time I see this comment. This style of captioning helps me understand the pacing of the dialog, something that normal subtitles cannot do, forcing me to attempt to read lips and the captions at the same time. I much prefer to just have my subtitles pop up one word at a time like this.
I'm afraid that if people keep complaining about them, they will eventually go away. Please stop with your crusade against something that legitimately helps people with disabilities. It's incredibly selfish.
I'm not going to argue with you. If this genuinely helps you, cool. I will say I'm not on a "crusade". I initially watched the clip without audio and simply couldn't keep up, where I would have easily done so with more traditional subtitles.
Out of curiosity, would you want to watch a longer form video like this? It doesn't really seem to leave much opportunity to look at anything other than the flashing words.
As someone with a hearing disability and dyslexia... These captions are a fucking nightmare and need to go away. Maybe add a bouncing ball to the standard captions but this method is not the way imo.
Especially with this bounce effect.
Seriously. By the time I could actually focus on the word, it was on the screen for 2 more frames before disappearing.
Actually your brain is able to read way faster when shown one word at a time.
This is the better way to caption things, actually. It improves both your reading speed and comprehension, especially when it's something like this where the person is talking quickly. Something about how your brain recognizes words.
I don't want to get political literally talking about a political campaign
She just want be racist, not political.
Just a very normal race realist having an informed conversation about how White People are superior because we didn't see Noah naked.
Veering slightly off topic, but I wanted to rant about it. I absolutely loathe the trend of putting each and every word on screen, one-by-one, as they're spoken.
As someone with ADHD it's possibly the most distracting thing with this vertical video trash format. Even worse when it's in the center of the screen, and worse yet when it's moving, as in this one with the huge bounce animation. Captions are useful, and vital for some people, but this...
And it seems they use "AI" for it, because it frequently gets homophones and other subtleties wrong, so now the kids who are raised by this stuff are going to have some awful spelling skills.
Alright, rant over. Gonna go yell at some clouds.
Agreed. There's the tech to do it, so they do it. Not a moment's thought to whether it makes the info less accessible.
2 counterpoints from down thread
Another reminder that the only demographic of which the majority voted Trump are white people
Nah its still worth talking about, because it was the swing voters that won the election for Trump.
Comparing 2020 to 2024:
- White voters swung 1% increasing their vote to 56%
- Black voters doubled their vote (wtf) from 8% to 16%.
- Latino voters also increased their vote 8% (wtf) from 35% to 43%
- Even 'all other races' increased their vote from 39% to 41%.
So 'wtf were these people thinking, voting for the leopard that says their particular faces are the most delicious?' is a completely fair question to raise.
that was the max they felt they could get away with from hacking voting machines….
remember when trump couldn’t find a group of black people that supported him anywhere, so they used AI generated pictures… but somehow millions of black people voted for him?
the voting machines were hacked, the “stop the steal” shit was all about getting recon on the voting machinesI wish we could see actual number of votes cast by each at m demographic... These stats could also be explained by the lower turnout, not necessarily more people voting for Trump in each demographic.
I.e.
2020: 8 Trump, 12 Biden=60% for Biden... 2024: 8 Trump, 4 Kamala= 33% Kamala Trump still got the same number of votes but it looks like he "doubled" his support
The fact that she was woke colored, DEI dressed and spoke with an heavily tariffed accent should've clued her in, but many won't believe anything until it happens to them and then it's too late
No way! Leopards ate MY face!? I could never have seen that coming!
:o
Man, the leopards are never gonna starve again
there are pumas and jaguars in south america, maybe those can fill in.
Ay*
Eh
Ay ay, sir!
Too many people are way too trusting..
I suspect people are so desperate that they are willing to believe someone even when they know the risk is very high
Oye. Señora. Tuviste advertencias.
Seriously there were a lot of Latinos that voted even for this election because of a misguided sense of loyalty to the conservatives and their alignment with Christianity and toxic positivity. Brainwashed, like other folks, except they're the ones who are going to pay for it.
I hope they finally get it after making it through the persecution we're going to receive at the hands of emboldened and empowered racism.
Oye. Señora. Tuviste advertencias.
Pero Trump va a personalmente salvar todo los bebitos! Y dar todos Biblias gratis!
Es una boluda de mierda.
Does "getting it" even matter when they're on the other side of the border or in a Texas internment camp for an indefinite period with no further voting opportunities?
Might not at that point, we'll see 😮💨
I'm brown too and the fact that anyone black or brown even voted for that guy is truly embarrassing.
If you need me, I'll be in the gas chamber with you, I'm sure. But tell me before I'm there permanently.
Sucks to suck. .You were warned, you fell for it anyway.
Not going to touch the documented people?
He touched you and pretended to ride you from behind while you were on stage ffs
Lolololoool. I can't believe anyone believed him.
So was she deported?
"And i dont want to make this political"
I usually come here for schadenfreude. This just makes me sad.
she is an american citizen who can vote. is she getting deported? are they going to strip her from citizenship? or how? wtf I dont understand
They’re going door to door and just arresting anyone who doesn’t have papers right away. Do you carry proof of your citizenship everywhere you go?
You shouldn't have to, I totally agree there. "Papers please" sounds very facist, in the real non-exaggerated sense.
Coincidentally, I do carry my US passport card with me everywhere. It's only good for overland travel to Mexico and Canada (you still need the full passport for international flights) but it's a "Real ID" and proves my citizenship.
You could be a citizen and know people or even have family who are not, thus making you affected regardless.
Is she an American citizen who can vote?
Or did somebody just hang about outside the conference centre offering $50 to any foreign looking people to get up on stage and spout a load of bullshit?
It's also possible she's talking about family members who are documented immigrants but not citizens.
Poor values being uncovered by ignorant maneuvers. Try some fuckin education and information, sorry you're a naive fool
Wait, is she saying a bunch of illegal immigrants voted for Trump?
Beyond stupid
Wait wait, did Trump just grope her? Did some one else see it too or I'm being paranoid?
No, he was just doing his weird seal clap.
What's the over/under on this guy being Cuban?
This video doesn't make any sense
Undocumented immigrants cannot vote for presidential elections. Only registered citizens can.
She is a documented immigrant.
She explicitly says “documented people”
