    LOL Northern Idaho is the US’s stronghold of Nazis. A huge number of people there completely and utterly support this sort of action.

    Randall has known Binod for more than 16 years. A self-described conservative constitutionalist Christian, he blames Joe Biden for Binod’s deportation. “Biden was completely responsible for it. Trump wasn’t,” he said. In Randall’s view, Trump was “just fixing the border”, cleaning up after Biden’s failure to control immigration, and Binod was collateral damage.

    In Idaho, he [Trump] won 67% of voters, including members of Stephanie’s family (Stephanie declined to say how she voted).

    Stephanie is the wife of the deported guy and the mother of his child.

    You can’t make this shit up.

    Several people from town and church have told Stephanie they are “not gonna vote the same way next election”. “People who’ve been conservative their whole lives are even showing up at liberal protests against ICE raids,” she said.

    I hope we get a next election that’s free and fair. I hope they don’t vote that way in the next election, or any elections after that. But I’m not holding my breath on either account

      I know people like this. I grew up with people like this.

      They will express genuine, deeply-rooted outrage at an issue, and then file it away in the memory hole under “All politicians are bad anyway” when they go to vote Republican in the next election.

      Don’t worry. The Democrats will put up some old milquetoast centrist with 0 charisma and expect us to vote for them simply because it’s, “Not JD Vance!”

    I actually got to meet Binod just a few weeks before he was deported. Seemed like a good guy, really passionate about his business and building good relationships with his customers. The article isn’t joking about them struggling to find any talented mechanics. This town is starving for them in general, and I happen to know that that other kid mentioned in the article quit only a few weeks after Binod was gone (while working on my car funny enough). Real shitty. This story isn’t gonna turn the state blue or anything, if anything it’s only getting more red from the thousands of conservative Californians moving in. But for what it’s worth, most people I’ve talked to about the situation have at least been really sympathetic. Hopefully I’m planting seeds there.
