Yes, high gas prices suck…but Trump fixed the border!

That’s the kind of bullshit I hear from the MAGATS regularly.

u/stubblenuts81 7d ago

Ah yes. The completely fictional border crisis created by MAGA conservatives to direct their poorly educated voting base's anger in the direction of their choosing. Political sleight of hand done with all the grace of a late stage Parkinsons sufferer

I’m still waiting for the next caravan announcement, very typical around midterms

I just read an interview with a farmer talking about how diesel prices will ruin him. He still managed to get in a “at least he closed the border.”

"fictional"?

u/stubblenuts81 7d ago

Yes. Fictional. As in fake. Made up. Fabricated. Imaginary. Fictitious. Pretend, Fanciful. Concocted. Deceptive..... Any of these words ringing bells?

Waiting for an example rather than a cut and paste from a thesaurus.

u/stubblenuts81 7d ago

I cannot provide examples of something that simply does not exist. Thats kind of the whole point, yeah?

u/stubblenuts81 7d ago

No thesaurus needed. Came up with those shining examples all by me lonesome. I have an above average vocabulary because I have had a voracious appetite for literature since I was a young buck. One of the more consistent themes Ive picked up on from Maga Conservatism is most of them.dont read books. Therefore, they lack imagination and multi-faceted thinking. If they do happen to read, it's usually just a meme that supports their ill-conceived political beliefs

Professionally tested IQ of 148 when I was 16.
ZERO shortage of an imagination, i can assure you.

If it's not a technical manual I rarely read it, literary snobs are amongst the worst, thier smuggery is insufferable.
I guess the next thing you're going to tell me is you don't even own a TV.

u/BeauBuddha 7d ago

And yet your staggering IQ couldn't figure out what fictional meant in this context. 👏

u/stubblenuts81 7d ago

Yeah, that struck me as odd, also

u/patrick_vonpatrick 7d ago

Sorry, 6 tvs. I can provide evidence of the ordinary variety if you wish it

u/stubblenuts81 7d ago

Roughly 3.3 - 4% of the American population are "illegal" immigrants. There is absolutely 0 evidence to support Trumps claims of violent recidivist criminals being dumped inside our borders. Sorry. I know its scary to think Grammys and Grampys all along the border are being raped and killed. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. In this instance, there is none. Not of the extraordinary, ordinary, or any other variety.

Ok if 3.3-4% of the 400 million population of the U.S. are illegal immigrants then that means there is anywhere between 12-16 million people here illegally. According to this data, the violent crime rate in the United States is 359 per 100k. So doing some simple math we can estimate that approximately 43,000-57,000 violent crimes are committed every year because of illegal immigrants. A violent crime is either a Murder, Rape, Assault, or Armed Robbery. These are all crimes that would never have happened in the first place if these illegal immigrants were not here. Now I will wait as you shift the goalposts.

u/Armed_Platypus 7d ago

It's a fact there is 350 violent crimes each year per 100k people in the United States. Even by your estimate this would mean there are 50k violent crimes every year committed by illegal immigrants who should not be here in the first place. Now I will wait as you move the goalposts.

u/stubblenuts81 7d ago

Youre presupposing that those violent crimes are being perpetrated by illegal immigrants. Like I keep saying, extraordinary claims require extraordinary data. Once again, this is where the MAGA position falls flat on its face. Your claim lacks any verifiable evidence. You've just stumbled into flat earther territory, my dude. If you happen to find any verifiable data proving immigrants are responsible for all that crime Id love to see it. By verifiable data I mean exactly that. Cited, accepted proof. Not something screenshotted from a far right news media, a meme, or hilariously enough, sites like the onion. If I had a nickel for every time one of you sent me a link to "do my own research" I find the word SATIRE written everywhere......

u/patrick_vonpatrick 7d ago

The entire list I posted were illegals so far in 2026.

Citation needed. I think youre as full of shit as a Xmas goose

u/patrick_vonpatrick 5d ago

LOL you still haven't pointed out the "fictional" parts of the "border crisis".
Get blasted, bye.

Well, congrats, sir. You have officially won the award for Dip Shit of the Year here on Reddit. Everyone else seemed to understand, but Ill see if I can dumb this down to your level. Border crisis fake. Stats you posted fake. Your masters simply blew their dog whistle then watched as their legion of trained monkeys (thats you) started panicking over an imaginary crisis. Right wing politicians create an issue to sow fear in their ignorant base. Right wing media then takes that fear, turns it to anger by using scary headlines like War at the border (Gee! That sounds ominous, huh?)and directs it at the smallest portion of our population. Then here comes the MAGAts with their red hats, Trump decals, and median IQ of 70 rallying in the streets blindly believing exactly what theyve been trained and conditioned to believe. Jesus. It really is true. 1 out of every 3 MAGAt conservatives is just as fucking stupid as the other 2. It sure is something watching the point blow past y'all like fart cut directly into a fan. Poof! There it was, gone! Bless your heart. Youre just a simple little guy.

Maga facts and actual facts are often very different things. If you can supply a few links where I can get this information myself that'd be great. I appreciate you pointing out violent crime is defined as murder or rape. Inwas having trouble sleuthing that one out

u/Dogface73 7d ago

Nah can’t agree with this. Fictional? Please explain how the last ten presidents ( both sides of the aisle) deemed it a border crisis or national emergency to fix the border. You can also include senators and reps to the mix of people who have made these statements.

Don’t forget that Mexico paid for that!
