Summary

Bradley Bartell, a Trump voter from Wisconsin, started a GoFundMe to raise $3,000 for his wife Camila Muñoz’s bond after ICE detained her.

Muñoz, a Peruvian citizen, overstayed her work-study visa due to the pandemic and was seeking legal residency as Bartell’s spouse. She was arrested returning from a honeymoon in Puerto Rico.

Bartell continues to maintain that he does not regret voting for Trump.

Since Trump’s return to office, ICE has arrested over 90,000 immigrants.

For a second, I thought that was @DemolitionRanch from YT (just an older photo or something)

If this man were to voice any sentiments short of full-throated Trump endorsement, would it make him more likely to see his wife again?

He could be terminally stupid, or this could just be the MAGA version of respectability politics. Pretending you're still one of the good ones so the leopards stay away from your face long enough for you and your loved ones to escape.

She sounds like "the worst of the worst". He should be happy she was deported.

[–] jabeez@lemmy.today 2 points 4 weeks ago

I'm going to see if it'll let me donate a penny as a get fucked gesture.

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

Good to see it's only at $800 at this time. I really hope it fails, but i have my doubts.

[–] TomMasz@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

You can't GoFundMe your way out of being stupid.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Stupid fucks. Got what he deserved.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

I'm not so sure she did, though. Honestly being deported might be better for her than being stuck married to this jackhole, as sad as that is to say.

[–] III@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

I am waiting for the follow up story about her leaving him the moment she gets out.

[–] CallateCoyote@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

Truthfully, I don’t feel bad for either of them. He’s a moron and she married the douche.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah no. Consequences of actions. Didn't your mother teach you?

[–] LonstedBrowryBased@lemm.ee 2 points 4 weeks ago

What a fucktard

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

You wanna know what you could have done to avoid it? Not vote for the obvious fascist. He literally told you he wanted to do this since 2016.

[–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah, no thanks. Actions have consequences. You can visit her when they illegally deport her to some random country, could be anywhere Americans are horrible with geography.

2.5k raised on GoFundMe

[–] CobraChicken3000@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 weeks ago

The audacity!

[–] MetalMachine@feddit.nl 1 points 4 weeks ago

Shooting yourself in the foot

Such a cringe line. The land of the free was declared over fifty years before slavery was abolished. America is a shithole.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 0 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes. We're going to have to set feelings aside long enough to think carefully.

[–] Embargo@lemm.ee 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

There's a lot of thinking going on while the U.S. government strips the rights of Americans and endangers many lives globally.

What will putting feelings aside achieve? In order for me to stop being angry at what America is doing, I would have to stop giving a fuck about the atrocities of deporting legal residents who protest or the attempted erasure of the queer community or the genocides they support etc, etc.

Making decisions from passions tend to have unforseen effects.

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 1 points 4 weeks ago

Better he should sell one of his kidneys.

[–] Substance_P@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

And he's nearly a third of the way there O_O
