1. Then maybe we should have highlighted things like this better on social media

they clearly win the media show

2. Meanwhile, back on Earth I, oranges aren't getting picked,

roofs aren't being repaired, meat isn't getting processed, because immigrants are too afraid of ICE to come to work.

8. And the men in this pix are wearing masks.

Not something slobby's minions would be likely to provide.

3. The GOP is better at propaganda than we are.

It also helps them to have no compunction about lying.

4. The cruelty is the point

It seems that the distinction is subtle: tRump's flights are military aircraft instead of passenger aircraft.

Much more expensive but crueler, so from his nibs viewpoint it is worth the expense.

5. Republicans learned well Hitler's lesson of replacing facts with propaganda.

And just as Germans were indoctrinated to believe nothing but Nazi lies, so too have Americans been indoctrinated to believe Republican lies. I do not know how this ends, but the next few years will be more of the same.

6. Looks like the work of Steven Miller.

7. Yes, it's propaganda. "White" propaganda to be exact. "White" because you know the source - the Trump regime.

It's also shameful, sick, and twisted.

That type of propaganda is also known as fast propaganda - instant impact for its intended audience. Hits hard and fast for a powerful impact. Slow propaganda is meant to inculcate/indoctrinate ideas over time.

Also, it is an example of propaganda of deed - because of its psychological effect. Said effect enforces a lasting retention of emotion/feeling.

You see the photo of "undesirables" boarding a plan in chains and if you support such things, you cheer - that cheer being an emotional response that is
now psychologically driven home.

9. These men are all wearing masks.

Have magats all of a sudden realized masking is prudent?

10. It might be an older photo taken during the pandemic,

since there have been deportation flights for years.

[SheltieLover]

11. Ok. Ty.

12. Looks like ABQ?

If so, this isn’t a real recent photo. It’s chilly there this time of year.

13. Obama deported more than 3 million

more than any other president
