Summary
Hispanic and LGBTQ communities have been targeted with disturbing anonymous text messages threatening deportation or “re-education camps,” escalating fear and uncertainty.
Latino students in Georgia received texts about deportation, while a lesbian entrepreneur in Nevada was told to report to a camp promoting conversion therapy.
Authorities, including ICE and the FBI, confirmed the messages are hoaxes, but fear of reporting persists among immigrant families.
These messages have instilled fear and uncertainty, especially among immigrant families, but advocates are urging victims to report incidents to trusted officials or community leaders to combat the harassment.
What are you even talking about? Have you ever seen the things they say amongst themselves? Have you not paid an ounce of attention to Trump’s rhetoric or the white supremacists who support him??
I try to spend time in both left and right spaces. Maybe I haven’t gone deep enough into rights spaces - I see them saying gender confirming treatments should be elective, not covered by any insurance and not available for any minors. I see support for mass deportation of immigrants who are undocumented or have overstayed their visas etc. I see them wanting to get “woke” teachers fired from schools, and some who want to ban abortion (but like marijuana, that’s a losing issue even in their base).
But I haven’t seen them calling for the death of every Democrat voter, not in active chat. I have seen screenshots and read anecdotes. I have seen the opposite though, both here and on Reddit, so many times, people I’m chatting with saying we need to kill every Trump voter. I don’t doubt that it happen on the right, my experience is seeing it more from the left though. It disgusts me regardless of where I see it.
Edit I saw this just a few posts below this post on “active” right after commenting this:
Wow, that is some serious horseshit. You only have to check out the comments section of Faux news to see thousands of examples of what you try to deny.
Have fun trying to gaslight people!
Yeah I don’t go there. I guess I’ll have to visit there just to look at the comments section.
