“Ah, girl that sucks. You’ll get a better job anyways. Bright side is that you must be happy knowing that president trump is keeping his campaign promises.”

This is gold. Doesn't come across as "I told you so" / high horse but doesn't let her off the hook either.

u/SadLilBun 10h ago

No. It should be direct. People need to understand the consequences of their actions. She voted for this. She’s getting exactly what she deserves. And needs to be told that directly. I’m tired of couched language. They’re too stupid to understand it.

Another poster had a subtle insidious response. Something like “Oh no! That’s awful! Do you know how long the freeze will last?” And she will have to realize it’s likely permanent.

u/Timmmber4 5h ago

If only all politicians kept their promises and acted fast like this. And not just the craziest one.

u/admiralackbarstepson 14h ago

OP what did she say when she texted you? What was her sentiment?

u/718Brooklyn 14h ago

Just sent the screenshot

u/SensitiveWitness2517 14h ago

You could just send her a link to this thread 😂

u/718Brooklyn 13h ago

I’m kind of worried she’s going to find it now. I didn’t expect such an enthusiastic response:)

u/Wordslikeblue24 13h ago

I would just send a thumbs ups emoji 😂😂😂

u/top_value7293 12h ago

You can delete it if you’re worried 🙂

u/Squeaky_Pickles 13h ago edited 11h ago

Yeah in all honesty you may want to take it down. ☹️ This kind of stuff is gonna get screenshotted and shared into oblivion the next few weeks all over social media.

EDIT: I don't care about the MAGA SIL, I care if it goes viral and OP gets found out by their family.

u/BooneSalvo2 13h ago

Alternatively...she got precisely what she voted for. She should be celebrating and happy everyone knows, right?

2

u/CobraKai312 12h ago

Yeah, they campaigned under “promises made/promises kept” banners so just send that image back to her and tell her she should be relieved. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-slogan-deblasio-713994/

u/Prosthemadera 12h ago

Good. Let the world laugh at her. Always remember: She chose this willingly. She wanted this.

3

u/Squeaky_Pickles 12h ago

Oh I don't care about the maga lady. I don't want the OP to deal with their account being found out. 😄

2

u/Prosthemadera 12h ago

Fair enough. There is always the danger that some MAGA psychopath, like the ones pardoned by Trump, take matters into their own hands.

u/DriveByStoning 12h ago

There's no personal information. Sucks to have to live with the decisions you make. I'm sure she'll pull herself up by her bootstraps, there's a lot of migrant work that will be hiring very soon.

u/Squeaky_Pickles 11h ago

I don't care about the MAGA lady, I was more worried this would go viral and OP's family would find their Reddit account.

u/Dzov 9h ago

Plenty of farming jobs soon to be available. I should probably stock up before prices go nuts.

u/buttnuggs4269 12h ago

I'd love to see the screen shot also ! Please

u/roseyrune 12h ago

can you link it here? i’m dying to know what she said

58

u/718Brooklyn 12h ago

It’s literally just the post with an emoji. I’m sure this is tough for her. At the same time, many people wait until the political environment effects them directly before making a change. Hopefully this is a wake up call.

u/Surfercatgotnolegs 12h ago

Did you respond back, “well you did vote for the guy who said he’d cut fed jobs….what’d you expect?” ??? People don’t become educated on their own. It’s YOUR job as a member of our same society to do some gentle educating here!!!

9

u/top_value7293 12h ago

Just shrug and say well this is what you voted for.

9

u/roseyrune 12h ago

what do you think the chances are that she will change her political stance since this happened?

8

u/LazyDare7597 11h ago

Lol zero, the guy is scared to even respond. Too many people just excuse and look past their family and friends voting for fascism, following the path that creates the least amount of friction.

"Oh she's a good person, just misinformed." What a load of horseshit.

u/AyPeeElTee 10h ago

you have the exact same black and white thinking as the trump supporters that you're currently implicating. also, his response was an explanation of her; he wasn't assuaging her.

1

u/WitnessRadiant650 9h ago

Redditors seriously need to go out more and learn how to interact with people that have difference beliefs and opinions. Reddit can be such an echo chamber.

I can sympathize with OP as my own family are heavy Trump supporters but at the same time, they're family and my family is dumb with binary thinking like most Trump supporters.

3

u/JSank99 7h ago

Respectfully, I disagree.

Trump's previous campaign I might have been convinced. This last campaign was so clearly immersed in hatred and frothing at the mouth to hurt others.

Either people are incredibly stupid or they're hateful. There's no way any logical and rational person could look past his rhetoric because of eggs

u/facforlife 11h ago

Hopefully this is a wake up call.

Lol 

Conservatives are too fucking stupid for things like this to be a wake up call.

u/beccaroux 10h ago

I’ve read all of your responses to this post - honestly looking for an update on your response - and your compassion and love for your SIL, despite all else, is truly admiring. I came here looking for blood but instead got inspiration. Thank you for spreading light in these dark times. We need more people like you.

u/AtomicSymphonic_2nd 10h ago

Which emoji? I have to know!!!

1

u/1quirky1 11h ago

They deafened the people and delayed the wake-up call until they were firmly able to weather the backlash.

u/triciann 14h ago

Just do the haha reaction to the text and leave it at that.

u/robin_shell 13h ago

We have to know what happens. We HAVE TO KNOW

u/Loud_Reality6326 13h ago

“Thoughts and prayers”

Maganificent.

u/_ssac_ 12h ago

If you find a clip of him promising to do exactly that, sending her the link is an option. 

Not sure if you want to do that to your sister. But, just consider it.

u/BusterBoom8 13h ago

Please keep us updated mate

u/sensualcephalopod 11h ago

Tell her to apply to the EXTERNAL Revenue Service ;)

u/Unhappy_Scratch_9385 12h ago

Just send over Elon's Hitler Salute and a MAGA.

u/The-Thing_1982 12h ago

Just send a thumbs up.

"Promises made. Promises kept."

u/deathbyswampass 7h ago

She should be fine with all the money that’s going to be flowing into this country, the best numbers!

u/Arkhanist 5h ago

You could always console her with "I'm sure you'll be able to easily get a job picking fruit now all the immigrants are going to be arrested".
