@LauraLoomer tweet

How They Deceive You

Laura Loomer's tweet is classic cherry-picking propaganda designed to bully Trump voters into silence. She mocks people saying "this isn’t what I voted for" about the post-election H1-B visa drama—especially Elon Musk's push to expand them for tech talent—as if they've got amnesia, then slaps down a single 2015 clip of Trump bashing H1-B abuse at Disney to "prove" it's all consistent. Here's the manipulation: That clip is real, sure—Trump called out Disney replacing Americans with cheaper Indian workers. But Laura buries the last nine years, like Trump's October 2024 NYT interview where he said straight-up, "I have [used H1-B]. I've always liked [it]... for the top people, the geniuses." Or his post-election NY Post comments backing Musk and saying he'd use H1-B "as I've done before" for skilled workers. His full record? 2016 pledges to reform it (raise wages, prioritize Americans), not scrap it—and his first term issued around 400K annually. No betrayal, just nuance on elite talent vs. abuse. By linking that ancient clip to today's fight (Musk as DOGE co-head defending more visas, often for Indian nationals), she creates a fake "gotcha" that shames MAGA dissenters as disloyal. Voters griping about softening on skilled immigration amid "America First" and mass deportation talk aren't forgetting—they're reacting to real shifts. Laura, the self-proclaimed loyalty enforcer with a rap sheet of platform bans for hate and conspiracies, isn't informing; she's enforcing unity by any distortion necessary. Don't fall for it.
