      Precisely. Everybody wants a below-minimum-wage off-the-books gardener/nanny/seasonal worker, but at the same time build a wall.

      You’re welcome to do the work but don’t complain, don’t ogle our sons or daughters, simply be invisible or else.

      It’s such a fucked-up situation.

    Easy explanation: all of their constituents are equally immigrant disposable, they just don’t realize it until they get personally fucked by the politician they voted for.

    The only “safe” people are the ones bankrolling them.

      They’re not safe either. If their money or political charisma runs out, there isn’t going to be anyone there to turn to. Look at the my pillow guy as an example.

    Racism is a false premise. All conclusions derived from it may be perfectly logical and absurd at the same time. This is why logic is so valued by people with dogshit views.

    Not defending the message, but there’s not a single immigrant, so both can be true.

    Of course it’s bullshit, but this joke fails to address the real failures of the argument.

  • Also related is Schrödinger’s gangster (or gangsta if you’re urban). A feral teen delinquent who only respects violence and force, and also a don of global renown who runs an international racketeering syndicate.

    I believe the whole Saints Row series of games capitalizes on this dichotomy.

    MAGA learned this technique from previous Nazis: “The Jews are inferior in every way to us Aryan supermen. That’s why they’re the greatest threat we face…”

    They dropped the lazy angle long ago, doesn’t jive with anyone’s lived experience.

    The welfare thing is what happens when racism and misogyny intersect. They imagine women having as many kids as possible just to get more money.

      And then they constantly cry because women don’t want to have kids in this mysoginist dystopian hellscape
