Can anyone contextualise this for outsiders? I know trump used to talk about draining the swamp, but who is she hinting at throwing to the gators?

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 44 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I assume it is a reference to the idea of holding immigrants in swamp based concentration camps and pretending that the local wildlife will eat anyone who tries to escape. It is even dumber and more malicious than it sounds.

It's like the Republican Party got taken over by incompetent James Bond villains. However, despite what's portrayed in Live and Let Die, alligators don't normally prey on humans.

But alligators with frickin lasers on their head…

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, but are they Jewish space lasers on their heads?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Well, they’re Jewish alligators.

Duh, if they ate pork then the ICE agents running the camps would be in extreme danger.

as an inlooking european I gotta say, the republican party always seemed very whack to me, ngl. But then again I would have voted for Bernie, so I am a incorrigable ~~democratic socialist~~ scary communist

Thank you. Just what I was looking for. I should have known "immigrants" would be involved, I think i just got thrown off by memories of "Drain the swamp" and thought this was about rival politicians.

Good luck with everything. Let me know if there's any way we can help 🫠

Get the EU to invade and help us out?

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

The opposition.

You may notice that is vague and open ended. That's the point.
