SWEET IRONY. These Trump Voters FORCED to SELL Their Land to Build The WALL, "We Can't Believe It!"

[turbinetree]

[caroldansen]

1. Why didnt they listen to us and vote democratic?!!!!!

[cstanleytech]

9. Denial. "Oh that would never happen to me." "Oh, thats just more Fake News.".

In other words they and others like them do not listen because they never consider that it could happen to them.

[Maven]

28. R A C I S M

Also, xenophobia, sexism and homophobia.

Or, what we now collectively call "economic anxiety".

[cstanleytech]

60. A bit of that as well. NT

[olegramps]

62. At last. Something to smile about. Glad its biting them in the ass.

[SunSeeker]

2. Idiots. And I bet they will keep voting Republican. nt

[GWC58]

4. Many times it's

"My daddy voted republican, my daddies daddy voted republican," and so on and so forth.

[tblue37]

77. It's their "team." They always support their own team. nt

[IronLionZion]

79. Except for the solid south

which had been solid Democratic until civil rights changed everything.

[Lanius]

5. People who aren't rich who vote for Republicans are in an abusive relationship that they can't leave

[GWC58]

3. Believe it, baby!

Looks like you've been "Trumped!!"

[Gothmog]

6. LOL

[Rorey]

7. My heart just breaks.....

...for the animals that were burned alive. As for the landowners, they're getting what they deserve.

[peacebuzzard]

12. I am sick about the farm animals, too.

.

[anniebelle]

18. WHAT?????

What is that all about ~ haven't heard or read anything about it.

[Rorey]

22. In the video

The woman talks about a fire. They could hear their animals being burned alive, but the firetrucks couldn't get to the fire because of the wall. Their animals were on their land, but the fence divided their farm. They had to use a code and go through a gate to access their property on the other side of the wall.

There was also some whining by a golf course owner who was going to lose 15 holes of his course. Such sad stories.

[LakeArenal]

44. Whining dump suppporters!!! WTF did they expect..

Mexico was going to pay for it AND give us the land for it? Or, maybe, the wall would follow the exact border line?

The one says.. (add southern accent) "I hate to say it, but I'll get a lawyer".. Get them, spend the rest of your life litigating Federal Lawyers. 93 original cases still in the system.

Epitome of uninformed voter...

[PJMcK]

64. Regarding your comment about the golf course

I'm not really concerned about the golf course, though I enjoy a round of golf as much as anyone.

However, the man quoted in the video says that if the US government completes the fence that stops on either side of this course, it will affect more than 200 residences.

Perhaps you could reconsider your sarcasm in light of those families' homes being impacted by this stupid wall proposed by our galatically stupid president.

In any event, I do get a rush of schadenfreude whenever I see Trump's supporters being screwed by their great leader!

[Rorey]

66. I have no sympathy for anyone who voted for 45

Of course I care about the innocent people who didn't vote for him.

The way it sounds, American citizens who own property that is on the other side of the wall still have access to it. The guy at the beginning part of the video mentioned an access code he used to get to his property.

This reminds me of the segment I saw on either MSNBC or CNN about coal miner families who voted for 45 and are now concerned about losing their health care under the ACA. There was even a woman whose husband died from black lung disease. I find it hard to have sympathy for voters who didn't educate themselves. Hillary Clinton had a plan for them. The orange idiot had empty promises. He told lie after lie after lie, but they continued to believe him.

As for the golf course owner, if he wasn't a 45 supporter (I don't remember), I definitely sympathy with him for having his business destroyed. It has nothing to do with golf, and I apologize if I made it sound as if I was making fun of golf. I would never do that.

It sucks when someone has their life destroyed by the government, but if they voted for the politicians who are now destroying them, I find it hard to care much about them.

[Beartracks]

73. What - isn't the wall on the border?

Or is most of the guy's golf course in Mexico?


================

[tsuukiyomi]

89. Whoa damn, your post made my weekend. (nt)

[sheshe2]

8. You're gonna pay for it as well babe!

Boo frickin' Hoo

[dixiegrrrrl]

54. Problem is, there have to be some non-republicans who are getting screwed also.

I don't understand why the fence has to be so many miles inside the actual border.

[pamela]

65. Because the actual border between Texas and Mexico is a river.

The Rio Grande is the border. Also, there are treaties with Mexico in which both parties, US and Mexico, agreed not to build anything within so many yards/miles of the Rio Grande.

[BeyondGeography]

10. Get ready to lose, people

You're going to lose so much, you'll be sick and tired of losing.

[rtracey]

11. Well

Elections have consequences, so tough shit Fuckump supporters, you voted for this cretin knowing he wanted this wall. What? was he going to build it on the Mexico side? sorry to the democrats who may lose their land, but you right wingers....fucking suck it up.

[progressoid]

13. Let's see, you shot yourself in the foot and now you want sympathy?

Sorry. I'm all out of sympathy for idiots.

[Volaris]

72. No, they shot themselves in the foot, and they think the rest of us should pay for medical treatment

But Obamacare is BAD. . .

Emmmm...nope.
Because bootstraps, motherfuckers. Welcome to them.

[tomhagen]

14. Karma. Ain't it a Bitch

[judesedit]

15. He campaigned on that wall. If they voted for the asshole.

They're getting what they voted for. Too bad.

[LonePirate]

16. I do enjoy watching a Faustian bargain destroy deplorables.

[BigmanPigman]

17. Buyer's remorse or

the typical repub who has no empathy for others until it effects them directly (guns, health insurance, etc).

[Charles Bukowski]

19. Build the wall right through that lady's living room.

These are the consequences of your stupid bigotry, Trumpers. You will eat this shit sandwich and like it.

[Frequent Ranter]

20. The Loops (first family shown) Weren't Trump Voters

They couldn't have been, as what happened to them occurred almost 10 years ago.

[thesquanderer]

55. Correct. The OP headline is completely wrong.

Not a single Trump voter has (yet) been forced to give up property for the wall.

And judging by the comments, many (if not most) people are not watching the video (or not getting it) and they are thinking that the headline is true. And so begins stupid fake internet rumors.

As an aside, the video also had a horrible story about the death of animals that, had I known, I would not have wanted to watch.

[svpadgham]

78. W voters.

They got screwed by that administration, but probably blamed Clinton.

[Runningdawg]

21. Their land will be taken

but no wall will ever be built. Wait until they find out they are getting screwed twice on the same deal.

[dreamland]

23. It's their patriotic duty

If they felt it was their patriotic duty to vote for tRUMP when he promised a wall, then as their patriotic duty they should give up the land freely so the wall can be built.

[retrowire]

24. Damn everyone's so happy to stick a cigarette in their eye

Dear fellow Americans,

That really sucks that the president you voted for is fucking you over. But no worries, we're ALLLLLL gonna get fucked over.

Maybe not as directly as you but hey, we're in this together and I hope you use this moment to learn better judgement when it comes to dealing with con artists.

In solidarity,
A fellow American.

[MedusaX]

25. This is mostly about land taken 10 years ago

The first part of the story was not about Trumptopian Karma....

The first family featured had to give up their land 10 years ago when the existing border fence was originally constructed....
Their story represents the actual challenges faced by those who have already experienced having their land divided.....
& The loss of animal life, in a fire which firefighters could not access due to the locked border gate, is an example of the unforeseen risks that have now come to light .


The banner across the screen referenced the possibility that Trump voters along the border may one day find themselves trapped on the outside of a fence/wall & locked gate that was built at the request of their candidate of choice


Now clearly, the 2nd lady in the clip was stupid enough to vote for trump and therefore deserves to be held accountable, for her active role in empowering her candidate of choice, by suffering whatever consequences that may occur as a result...

[HockeyMom]

26. It is called Eminent Domain

I guess Trumpsters never heard of that?

[LittleGirl]

63. That's what I was thinking too!

Those #45 voters never read a book or listen to anything anymore except Limbaugh and Fox Spews. Just like the president. We have a CIC who does nothing but watch cable news all day. ugh.

[Maven]

27. Fuck them. I only feel bad that some of them could end up on the Mexico side.

I feel bad for Mexico, that is.

[Historic NY]

29. MAGA build that wall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dumbasses.... Let build a wall around Mar a Largo and lock him up.!!

[Honeycombe8]

30. What a mess. I hope they drop this crazy idea of a wall. nt

[Equinox Moon]

31. What about animal migration!

[turbinetree]

34. This is what is alarming, and then I thought of the monarch butterfly and its migration

http://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/wilderness-resources/stories/how-us-mexico-border-policy-is-devastating-wildlife

[Equinox Moon]

57. Yes, the beatiful Monarch!

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.

I maintain a large patch of milkweed just for the monarch. They are an amazing creature. It takes 4 generations for them to migrate north and one generation to migrate back to Mexico.

An environmental impact study should be part of the process of building anything. I would assume there are many migrating animals that would be affected.

[world wide wally]

32. So, these severely stupid people never dreamed Trump wanted to build this asanine wall?

I hope they don't expect any sympathy from rest of us.
They are TOO fucking stupid to feel sorry for. Even their main man, Trump, mocked the disabled, but this goes a step beyond disabled. Just fu.. Nevermind

[PCIntern]

33. I LOVE IT!!!!!!

Made my day!!!!

[LW1977]

35. Whoopsy Daisy

Don't feel sorry field r these derps at all.

[nini]

36. muahahahahhahaha

[ReformedGOPer]

37. Cry me a river.

[George II]

40. Damn, we posted EXACTLY the same thing simultaneously! You must be a genius.

[LakeArenal]

45. Cry me their stinking wall...

[George II]

38. Cry me a river.

[lunatica]

39. Why don't they just bill Mexico?!

That's what Trump meant when he said it. He gets the wall built and landowners can bill Mexico.

Jesus! Do they want him to do EVERYTHING?!

[Ohioboy]

41. You're right.

If we are to take Trump at his word, Mexico will need to pay for the land the wall is built on as well.

[luvMIdog]

42. How could they not know this would happen when his campaign was built on THE WALL?

[GoCubsGo]

43. Wait until the ones along the various proposed oil pipeline routes find out

that they are about to be in the same boat.

[LakeArenal]

47. Good one Cubbie Fan..

Brewers here.. You know the ones you outnumber at a Milwaukee home game.. I do admire your cubbie spirit!!!!

[GoCubsGo]

51. I would like to go to a game in Milwaukee just to see the sausage race.

[LakeArenal]

53. It's a good one..

Miller Park is worth visiting once in your life as is Wrigley for any baseball fan.

See you there then!

[Orrex]

46. They can go fuck themselves.

[LakeArenal]

49. From your lips to....... (nt)

[kimbutgar]

48. I have no sympathy for those who voted for chump

They will be screwed over by him. Stupid stupid brainwashed people are going to pay for their stupity for not thinking behind what is in front of them.

[LiberalLovinLug]

50. A question on the side so to speak

It is curious to me how that older wall was decided on, and the projections for a new wall as well. Has not the actual border between Mexico and the US been already decided a long time ago? If so it seems like either these land owners actually held Mexican property, knowingly or inknowingly, if when they build a wall the government has planned to weave its wall to the north of their property. Especially since constructing odd loopy lines in the wall doesn't seem to be a factor if you look at other areas of that wall. I don't get that.

[turbinetree]

52. Bingo

[Puzzler]

86. I think it's because by treaty the wall has to be built on the US side...

... and not necessarily on the actual boarder.

-Puzzler

[LenaBaby61]

56. These Trump Voters FORCED to SELL Their Land to Build The WALL, "We Can't Believe It!"

[PatrickforO]

58. Well, dumb ass, when you decided to vote for Trump,

you showed that you've long since abrogated your responsibility as a citizen of this republic to use your votes wisely.

What does this mean?

Well...don't just get your news from hate-talk radio and Fox news for a start. Go on places like the Hill, NYT, and CNN. Go on NPR. Dig for the reality.

READ SOME BOOKS!

If something makes you feel uncomfortable, ask yourself why. Think things through.

READ SOME BOOKS! AND SOME REPUTABLE MAGAZINES/JOURNALS. FIND OUT ABOUT STUFF.

I'm sorry, very sorry you've had to sell your home. I'm sorry for that.

But let's get that 'voting' thing right, shall we? DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU VOTE, BECAUSE ANYONE WHO DID THEIR HOMEWORK DID NOT VOTE FOR AN AMORAL IGNORAMUS LIKE TRUMP.

[gopiscrap]

59. You dumb mother fuckers hope you lose the rest of your land

that's what you get for voting for a an orange colored shit-gibbon!!!

[Chicago1980]

61. My sympathy is nowhere to be found.

Somewhere a Native American is giggling their ass off.

[toddwv]

67. It's getting harder and harder to sympathize with these people

"I didn't believe he'd actually do it," is quickly becoming the mark of a complete idiot.

[niyad]

68. just like that idiot in IN--"he was only going to deport BAD people--not my husband!!"

[Amimnoch]

69. I have but zero fucks to give for them.

Too many people that their votes are hurting that didn't do it to themselves to waste any time or effort to give a shit about them or their problem.

[DFW]

70. They voted for it.

They'll get to believe it soon enough.

The reason I have no sympathy for them is because if given the chance, they'd STILL vote for Trump.

[Rainngirl]

71. No pitty for them,

but I feel terrible for their poor animals--all because they are stupid trumpers.

[tclambert]

74. Where are the Cliven Bundy-types along the border?

There must be some in Texas who want to fight the jack-booted thugs of the government. Right? Hello? Anybody?

[SummerSnow]

75. Does she still have her 'Make America Great Again' hat?

[mdbl]

83. Really wish she had been wearing it during that inteview

Would have taken away any empathy I feel for them.

[JDC]

76. She just became the Mexican paying for the wall

[BobTheSubgenius]

80. I can't wait until the WH reframes this.

"You're all living in a gated community now. You're welcome."

[Solly Mack]

81. Where did the brainiac think he was going to build the wall? Everywhere except her land

on the border?

[FDRsGhost]

82. Some personal insight on this......

My other half lives in Brownsville. It is one of the poorest counties in America and heavily Hispanic and Democrat.
Here's the deal with this...

This has been happening for over a decade down there. Luckily, despite my other half's family owning a farm she isn't impacted by this however many area. People's property has literally been cut off and some are actually on the other side of the fence, in no mans land.

It impacts people of all political ideology and honestly, it's very sad to see this happen as there are many families involved.

The golf course in the video, River Bend has massive financial trouble. It's also pretty much a done deal that the course will cease to exist at this point and those plans that were shows drawn up? That was done so a few years back. Here's a great article from 2008 on it all

It just breaks my heart to see this happen down there. People down there have been through so much with poverty...

[NNadir]

84. Well, racism costs everyone, including the racists. n/t

[Initech]

85. The world's tiniest violin playing just for them.

[radhika]

87. When a Trump voter loses something of value, an angel sings...

I know this is not spiritually appropriate, in virtually any tradition.

But when someone pays for a harsh fate they wished on others, all is well in MY world.

[kirby]

88. This was 10 years ago...

This wall section was built 10 years ago. This had nothing to do with Trump.

While a strong case can be made about people voting against their interests, these people and this story has nothing to do with that. I do not recall there being a mention of who these people voted for either.
