This is a sadder sort of FAFO Award, but a necessary one.
Cynthia was a loud and vocal Trump supporter. She used a sizable social media following to convince people to vote for Trump – vocally, vociferously, and, let’s be honest, kind of obnoxiously, especially once he won.
Cynthia’s father is an undocumented immigrant, who is not here legally. Trump’s whole platform was for removing illegal immigrants from day one. Cythia’s father is also terminally ill, with reportedly six months to live.
Her father is now in jail because Trump is doing what he promised Cynthia and all his other voters he would do, and quite possibly may expire there. Cynthia’s recent appeal to ICE to get him released was just denied, which should come as no surprise if you’ve seen how ICE operates – I mean, DUH. (She has posted all of this to her social media, where she is now crying and begging for help.)
Cynthia, you have my thoughts and prayers. I lost my Dad a couple of years ago, so I can’t imagine having to go through that and not be with him in his final days.
I also can’t imagine voting for someone who would put you, or anyone, in such a predicament, and for that warped mindset, you also have my thoughts and prayers.
What you don’t have is my sympathy for your current situation. You voted precisely for this cruelty and inhumanity. Not only that, but you actively and enthusiastically encouraged others to do the same, knowing full well other people would be hurt by this. The fact that what you wanted inflicted on everyone else is now affecting you is not worthy of sympathy or some GoFundMe page. You’re getting exactly what you voted for, exactly what some of us told you you were voting for, and some might say exactly what you deserve.
Thoughts and prayers for your pain; poetic justice for your predicament.
This sad #FAFO moment has once again been brought to you by the Trump administration and the Republican Party. (Maybe you should stop voting for them?)
