The right wing turned the inhumane Alligator Alcatraz prison into a meme

The Alcatraz crocodile, a Florida immigrant detention facility, is a $ 225 million migrant attachment to Everglades, a right -wing right and right camp. The most enthusiastic supporter of President Donald Trump is ready to apologize – or in some cases, reveal – allegations of inhuman treatment in the facility: worms in food, floors overwhelmed by stroke water, and fluorescent lights that were left for 24 hours a day, and not air conditioning at night despite the moisture of southern Florida.

For them, the whole thing is a great joke, feed for themes that activate the base even while the majority of Americans are removed from Trump’s immigration application.

Laura Loumer, close to Trump, was soaked in the possibility of the death of potential fugitives in the act. “The good news is that crocodiles are guaranteed at least 65 million meals if we start now,” published on X. Jurassic Park He boasted about obtaining the official Alcatraz Merch during his visit. (Before his right role, and before its launch from Buzzfeed to plague, Johnson also compared the Arab Spring to Jurassic Park. It is not clear whether he has seen any other films.) A Republic of Republican in Congress also sells Alcatraz Merch to finance her campaign to re -election. There is more Mirch on etsy. Obviously, there is also shitcoin.

Mermat and Merch are more than just a feather -rich chart for adventurous Newfiris, although Grift is always part of the Maga equation. In his second term, Trump turned the enforcement of immigration into a spectator. The right -wing extremist influencers such as Chaya Raichik, known as Libs of Tiktok, have been invited to horse riding with migration and customs enforcement (ICE). The Minister of Internal Security, Christie Nayyim, has turned her position into a type of Cowboy Cop, and often appears in public places in a bullet -resistant jacket or a ten gallon (or sometimes both). The official White House account X publishes “ASMR” and the images that take place in the GHibli Studio for immigrants crying on the handcuffs.

There is a real joy for that. To borrow from Adam Sirrere, cruelty is the point, but there is more than that. At the conservative political work conference for this year, Vice President JD Vance said that the voters gave Trump a mandate to enforce immigration; Trump won the popular vote in part because the audience was calling for collective deportation. It is true that before the 2024 elections, most voters expressed the lack of approval of President Joe Biden’s border policy and seemed open to a more solid approach to immigration. But Trump – Zoomers assumes the social media of the White House – either realizes that public opinion is no longer by his side regarding immigration, or they simply do not care.

Trump appears to be less profitable to public opinion in his second term than he was at the beginning. Since January, he followed deeply unpopular policies, from the customs tariff to completely complaining of the federal government, even losing support from his base. After half a year of Trump’s second state, it is clear that voters agreed on some of his abstract aspects – they elected him because he promised “something about immigration” and “government management like business” – but they do not like how these policies played in practice.

A large part of the Republican voters has shifted against customs duties and Eileon Musk, the Ministry of Governmental efficiency. The other supporters of Trump have still seen their friends, relatives and husbands have been targeting them since the president returned to his post. One of the naturalized citizens who voted in favor of Trump by ice agents while driving to work stopped; He now believes that ice is Latin racist stereotypes. He told a local news station that he voted in favor of Trump because he would target “criminals, not everyone who is Spanish, is similar.” Trump’s approval of immigration has decreased to 41 percent, which is its lowest level since his second term began. Perhaps voters have trusted in Trump to get “criminals” out of the country, but they did not necessarily expect to be randomly managed by non -musicians (and some citizens as well), and the National Guard deployed to arrest migrants and take strict measures on the demonstrators in Los Angeles, or hundreds of people from Salvadwan Megabriceon.

In a post on X, White House adviser Stephen Miller justified the decision to get rid of the National Guard to the demonstrators by saying that “America voted for mass deportation.” The latest polling indicates that the Americans are no longer on Trump’s immigration agendas. Instead of responding to this shift in voter feelings, it appears that the administration is fully multiplied by its approach or nothing to enforce immigration and its delightful photography of these dramatic policies via the Internet. Themes create a kind of alternative reality, a virtual world that everyone is still on the Trump train and all Americans are happy with the possibility of migrants to feed crocodiles. This echo room benefits from – and amplifying them – algorithm. The normal voter may read the Alcatraz crocodile in the news, but they do not necessarily see a selfie in the Benny Johnson camp. Memories are the group signals. They generate a sense of belonging to Trump’s most enthusiastic supporter while giving them the cruelty of this new era. Themes are the policy is broken from opinion polls and democracy -free, and it is a sign that the White House – either out of recklessness or something much worse – does not care about elections.
