I'm not trying to blame the victim here, but why would anyone not born in the US willingly board an aircraft in anything but the most pressing of circumstances right now? Are people really this oblivious to what's going on in this country? Are we still thinking it "can't happen here"? It's happening people.
Most people who have papers, for one reason or another, from the government that explicitly say they are free to move about and will not get deported probably dont expect that they will get deported in direct violation of those papers
They should not have that expectation right now if they have been paying any attention at all.
No. They need their delusions. It us a critical part of who they are. It is the skin that keeps the worry out, the spine that keeps them upright. They become the lie, the eternal struggle against truth; you cannot remove it without killing them.
some may be delusional but i bet a good percentage of kidnapped and deported people here think they’re safe because of documentation and court orders.
The average person's thinking is generally pretty inflexible. This is a defense mechanism that works more often than not in the long run, at least historically. Trust in government institutions can be pretty hard to erode and doesn't happen overnight. Or even over months. Our media landscape is deeply broken, we live post-truth where different outlets paint drastically different realities, to the point that someone deeply living in one space thinks the other sounds completely insane and vice versa. This is not to say that objective truth no longer exists (or that it was ever very popular in the first place) but is now harder to discern than ever before. People can be very good at hearing only what they want to hear, in the way they want to hear it. Often motivated by fear. And it's now easier and simpler to do than ever before.
It's a shit state of affairs.
sure, reasonable, but this is fascism where the laws don’t apply. this is what happens when a country refuses to collectively acknowledge the threat. we need to get the word out to people ignorant of this reality before more are kidnapped.
if you weren’t born here and had to obtain papers to become legal, don’t fly regardless of the circumstances. you run the risk of being deported. i am so sorry this is your current situation but protect yourself.
edit: this is extra serious if you aren’t white, unfortunately.
The stupid thing is we need the martyrs to wake people up. This girl is a good example that will hopefully enrage people. My guess is she has a lose relation with a suspected drug dealer and they turn it into a huge thing without any verifiable evidence. I hope she’s okay in Honduras.
Because they're delusional.
They’re oblivious. They can’t believe what’s happening.
It only happens to others mentality
People cloak themselves in delusion to keep up daily life. Truth cannot free them of these delusions. Logic can not pry them from their niche. They are fanatics.
