Donna Ganger, the mother of Renee Good, who was shot and killed by an ICE agent in January, revealed that she voted for President Donald Trump before blasting the agency responsible for her daughter's death: "This is madness."
She probably didn’t want ICE to murder her daughter, and claims like that are ineffectual counters to far-right messaging.
She wrote:
I voted for President Trump under the impression that these agents were here to protect the citizens of the United States — innocents like our family and the others here — against terrorists
and that probably is what she thought she was doing, but those agents turned out to be a far greater threat to her family than immigrants or “terrorists”.
It’s a shame you got hit with early downvotes. I don’t think a lot of people realize how much a negative or positive vote score colors their interpretation of a comment. Because frankly all you were doing is being specific about what happened.
The lack of subtlety in online discussions can be tiring.
Anyone who voted for Trump a second or third time absolutely should have known he was a shithead who would harm the country. If they were clever, they might have figured out his plan for mass deportations would result in an armed goon squad killing some Americans, but if they were clever, they never would have voted for him at all.
None of that is equivalent to a mother wanting Trump’s goon squad to kill her daughter. She fell for his bullshit about immigrants being scary.

He was already president for 4 years. Everyone knew exactly what he was. That excuse didn’t fly this time.

She voted for a child rapist. She got what she voted for.
She does appear old enough to have witnessed the first term, and everything before that, though.
No she didn’t.
There is no way to be this uninformed.
It is tragically too common though. Willful ignorance breeds yet more ignorance
