After arriving in the United States from Somalia back in 2009, Fiqy never expected to be contacted by a major political campaign—yet Trump’s team reached out, asking him to help energize Somali-American voters before the election.

He took on the task with pride. But now, as a sweeping ICE operation targets Somali communities across the Twin Cities—and after hearing the president repeat harsh, blanket remarks about Somalis—Fiqy says his support has collapsed.

    The minorities who supported Trump need to be studied as the most fucking stupid, lacking any self preservation whatsoever, people to have ever lived.

    The fact these people ever made it to voting age without forgetting how to breathe, or running to an electrical socket with a fork is nothing short of a reality breaking anomaly.

      They think “Now that my family and I got in, let’s pull the ladder and fuck the rest. As long as I am good, others can fucking die.”

      I.e. garbage people.

        That sounds like the voting pattern of US Hispanics.
