"Joyce is really the epitome of the American Dream. She's raised two kids on her own. She's worked two jobs for 15 years. She fully supports herself. She's been completely compliant."

Who the fuck dreams of working 2 jobs for 15 years!? - Nobody wants to do that.

Or is it the selfish maga voter's american dream that is being referred to? Having found someone who accepted exploitation and wage slavery without complaint is the dream??

It’s the selfish one. Maga voters want brown people to shut up and do as they’re told.

She raised two kids on her own(and with the help of a nanny who was probably paid like shit due to her immigration status).

Joyce is the immigrant nanny who was picked up by ICE, not the regretful MAGA voter.

Was she living under a fucking rock for more than one and a half years?

She's right, in a way, it's just that she didn't realize their definition of 'criminals' was different. Still dumb as a rock of course.

Criminals to them just means brown people that don't work for them.

I think you know the answer to that and it’s got a lot to do with skin color and wealth. Maybe religion too.

you gotta love all these patriots who won't hire americans because they don't want to pay.

I wonder if it's a slave fetish thing for 'em. wouldn't be surprirsed.

Compare GDP to pay stubs, do a little easy math, discover that 2/3 of the US workforce are slaves.
