    So desantis sent 50 migrants from Texas to a Massachusetts vacation for a couple of million dollars? How exactly is this a win for the :frothingfash:? Like they literal immigrants who came here to work. Why wouldn’t they take a plane that would fly them out of the shithole that is the Bible Belt? Then again these people are against thinking critically.

      It's just a stunt and hypocrisy mongering, because of course Martha's Vineyard isn't going to be amenable to undocumented, unhoused people. The whole stunt is to provoke the libs into calling the cops then pretending violence against immigrants was the only solution all along if even the libs do it.

        Yeah but those people are going to literally end up on a bus and sent to Boston before they have time to even see the island. I mean I get it when they used to do this by sending their homeless quietly. Then claim shithole state or whatever. But now you got people at Martha’s Vineyard doing the exact opposite and having “we love our refugees” signs. Libs like refugees but they hate poor people and I’m very surprised desantis tried to make this so public like he did. He could have done more damage by not saying a word. I mean it’s not like anyone in Florida has the ability to stop the reactionary government there from spending money so frivolous. It didn’t work in New York and it won’t work here. The only way this tactic works in any way is by doing it silently.

      I'd say that Desantis is trying to send a message that "muh northern states don't suffer the burden that us southern states have to " but then he sends in migrants not from his own state. Sends them to the richest part of Massachusetts, where Obamas, Kennedys, other ghouls live along with countless other celebs looking to stay anonymous and away from "the rabble". Though it would take more than 50 people to overwhelm the island, even in tourist season.

        Yeah but why announce it like an idiot? The same shit is going to happen like NY where libs bring out that compassion they don’t have for poor people. Because you know somehow libs love refugees but not poor people. Seems very short sighted. But once again, they are against that critical thinking.

            I get that. But libs are already pulling out those “we love our refugees” signs. It was performance from the start but cmon he kind of announced his whole plan. The better use of that money would have been to send those people to “purple” areas on the east coast and get all the reactionaries riled up. While not saying anything and spreading lies about the situation he was causing. I just feel like this is the shit that is going to keep him from being president.

    The migrants were allegedly flown from Texas and most of the migrants had never been to Florida. Florida used tax dollars to send migrants in Texas to Massachusetts.

    Absolutely inhumane that chuds are trying to use vulnerable peoples as a weapon.

    Also the migrants were from Venezuela, fleeing because of the sanctions that the US has placed on Venezuela.

    American policy created this situation by sanctioning Venezuela in the first place and now chuds crafting a narrative that there is a border crisis because innocent people are trying to escape the economic hardship that America imposed.
