    “I haven’t seen Mexico since I was four,” Ceballos said. “I don’t speak Spanish anymore. If I get deported, it would wreck my life.”

    Ceballos also acknowledged that he “probably” voted for Kobach and former president Donald Trump several times because he automatically selects the candidates with an “R” beside their names.

    Absolute fucking numpty here.

        Yes. Voting straight ticket is for lazy people who can’t be bothered to look up who their voting for. Or for cult members of either side. Unfortunately many states (like the one I’m in) only allow you to vote for one party in the primaries, when most normal people would want to vote different people for different positions based on their individual policies. We should vote for people, not parties.

    The problem is that a 54-year old Kansas mayor is somehow technically not a citizen, after living here for decades.

    That makes no sense.

    He shouldn’t have voted, and should have known not to, but he didn’t expect this because he’s stuck in a system that’s been screwed up for decades. One that Congress won’t reform precisely to leverage it as a wedge issue like this. And now that debt has come due.

    I know you’re a democrat and thus don’t care about holding dems to account, but don’t think that republicans are equally lawless.

      Fuckin ridiculous trash, Dems are the only ones who resign in shame after almost any scandal. Republicans have no shame it’s why they never resign after a scandal, unless they’re caught with a dead girl or a live boy.

        Only time Republicans resign is when they see the shit heading for the fan, and they step out of the way to stay out of the spray.

        Which is why you see so many Republicans quitting leading up to the midterms.

        What do you MEAN I’m out of the in-group? I was in the in-group.

        For those smarter among us, this is why we want laws that apply fairly to everyone.

        I don’t want a world where crimes are expected, and you just have to continually manage whose good graces you’re in in order to survive.

        You’d think billionaires of the 1990s would agree, but they can 10x their money if they just avoid falling out of windows.

        He would be best to go back to Mexico on his own right now, or else he’ll probably end up somewhere he doesn’t want to be.

        Of course, he’s an idiot so this won’t have occurred to him.

      He openly admits that he doesn’t actually know anything about the people he’s voting for, and just votes for anyone who represents the republican party. He doesn’t even know if he actually voted for Trump or not he just “suspects” that he probably did. This probably means he also doesn’t bother to actually pay any attention to any of the policies of the republican party.

      He just coasted through life without paying any attention or ever engaging in his brain. He’s the reason that manufacturers had to start putting “don’t drink bleach” warnings on bleach.

        Anyone who isn’t even sure who they voted for for president just 15 months ago should not be holding any political office…

        Actually if he did vote for president, he did so illegally.

          I don’t know, a lot of people in the US act exactly like him. I feel like you should be quizzed at the polling station with very basic questions about a politician’s publicly announced policies. You know stuff that you would be able to find out with 30 seconds of research on Google. Nothing too taxing.

          If you can’t name at least one policy announcement you should be kicked out.

          I have colleagues who don’t read emails, so I guess it’s possible.

          But given the fact that he appears to be ignorant of fundamental US laws, I have to conclude that he didn’t bother reading any of them.

    It’s difficult to understand how a permanent resident would think he’s a citizen and therefore eligible to vote.

    I’m also questioning why the state of Kansas didn’t verify his voter registration in any way.

      Right? What happened in his civics/U.S. government classes, he just thought the voting rules didn’t apply to him? All the other people who moved to the States from Mexico by the time they were four, yes, just not him.

      Some states allow non citizens to vote in non federal elections. I don’t know the rules for Kentucky.

            Kentuckian here, we’re known for horse racing, bourbon, coal mining, and cave tourism. And also being ruthlessly exploited by the aforementioned industries for as long as the state has existed (and possibly even before then).

    He says:

    I always loved Trump, this is unfair

    That just shows how these idiots think. His opinion on Trump and his legal position regarding citizenship are in fact completely separate. But they don’t see this.

    They think along the lines of “The state shouldn’t punish me, I am on the right side”. That’s the sort of underlying mental model of the world they have. It’s unfathomable.

      I’m starting to wonder if this thinking goes the other way.

      Do people like this also feel vulnerable if their candidate isn’t running things? Like, did Obama or Biden feel like a legitimate threat while they were in office?

        History will remember these people in the same way it remembers those that tried to justify the slave trade.

        They’re completely unable to separate desire from reality. They want the situation to be x so they believe that it is x. They cannot understand that reality doesn’t necessarily map to their desires. Which makes them considerably less intelligent than squirrels, who understand that, which is why they spend all summer stockpiling food.
