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.
Man, these comments.
It’s one thing to recognize the irony of this situation.
It’s another thing to make racist comments and repeat fascist memes about ‘garbage people’. Take that shit somewhere else.
you seemed pretty racist yourself, of how responded to other people.
“They’re not going to eaty MY face.”
And all the kittycats say:
“MUNCH! CHEW! NOM!”
You knew he was a snake when you picked him up.
Any black person supporting an outspoken racist like Trump is just fucking stupid.
I know a gay Trump supporter. He’s ecstatic about what’s going on and I know I have better people to give a shit about if he ever gets hauled away.
Why the racist comment?
Any person supporting Trump is just fucking stupid.
It’s now literal US government policy that if you talk about “Equality” you will be fired by the government.
There’s a word for somebody that doesn’t support equality of rights: its a segregationist.
Well, I wouldn’t directly call it racist. It would have been the same if the Orange would have promised to sell Alaska back to the Russians and an Alaskan still voted for him.
Or a person who likes democracy and freedom voted…oh well…shit…I show myself out.
because anybody non-white was obviously being targeted
I don’t think it’s racist to point out that someone who is a member of a group that Trump has been explicitly racist against is extra dumb for supporting them. I don’t think anyone should support the guy but I only oppose him out of a sense of empathy and sympathy. This guy is extra dumb because he shouldn’t be a supporter out of sheer self interest.
you’re coming a long long way, fiqy. seriously!
I have a very hard time feeling sympathy for a bunch of people who voted against their own best interests. Anyone who didn’t see this coming, needs to wake the fuck up, and start paying attention. It’s not like he was hiding who he was. Anyone with half a brain should have been able to see this coming all the way back to when Obama was still in office.
Not defending the idiots, but I think social media played a far significant role in brainwashing people than we realise. The stupid social media algorithms corral them to seeing only certain contents and distort their world view. I wonder what social media showed to the non-white people to even support Trump. I hava poc colleagues who seemed to trivialise and have casual approach to Trump, with one stating “some of the things he says makes sense.” I wonder what those things “makes sense” from poc point of view. Even before Trump 2.0 came, I have disliked him for being fascist-adjacent. Now, that the mask is off, people thought that he’d stay with his far-right adjacent policies in his first term, and they lived to regret fucking around and finding out.
sounds like you are defending them. it wasn’t as if Trump was being coy about it. He created a muslim ban. He said “They are eating the pets.”
All this stuff he said in public, live on TV. Using social media as a source of news just shows you are dumb.
✨ Have the day you voted for ✨
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.
You’re shocked the most openly racist president since Andrew Johnson hates Somalis, people from Africa?
the most openly racist president since Andrew Johnson
That honor goes to Woodrow Wilson, especially since he was president during a supposedly more enlightened time.
Everyone needs to be called out by name for them to understand, I guess. Put two and two fucking together, America.
if only they’d voted jill stein everything would have been ok
I for one am shocked that the dude that proclaimed “They’re eating the dogs!” during a presidential debate would make harsh racist remarks.
His comments on Haitians weren’t a clear enough signal? JFC, you dense assholes.
He literally did similar comments DURING HIS FIRST TERM about Somalis as well… But…people have the attention span of a TikTok Video these days.
This is true Leopards Ate My Face material. Anyone who supported Donny 2 Inches, and helped him gain power, CANNOT be hurt enough !
Ahahahaha fucking garbage people.
Yes, if you voted for a rapist, you are 100% garbage.

Wow, one article about one guy has got you quoting fascist memes.
I’m not here to agree or disagree with either of you, but to plead that you not refer to everything that exists online as “a meme”.
Alright, then. Enjoy the suffering. You voted for this.
