7. Of course their self-deception helped push up DJT's numbers

A lot of South Florida emigrees liked to pinch their pale skins and told themselves that they were just as white or whiter than many of DJT’s Anglo Caucasian supporters and thought that they were immune from being rounded up by ICE agents for deportation. They continued to vote for Republicans and MAGA politicians despite the fact that racism and xenophobia had again become acceptable among the national and state Republican parties. Their bigotry and arrogance blinded them, and now they’re reaping the whirlwind. I can’t say as I feel very sympathetic.

Like many Anglos say “Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas.”
