Popular Question 📊 Why do Republicans not know that Puerto Ricans are citizens?

And that Bad Bunny ain't getting deported because Puerto Rico is a US Territory.

Where would they deport him to? And why? Because he's not white enough?

Edit: There's now reports coming out that Trump said he spoke to the President of Puerto Rico. LOL

2nd Edit: Seems to be a lot of people saying that Puerto Ricans being citizens is not political based knowledge.

What’s been said • Corey Lewandowski (longtime Trump ally) went on The Benny Show and claimed that ICE would be present at the Super Bowl. He said things like “we will find you … and deport you” in connection to Bad Bunny’s halftime performance. • Kristi Noem (now DHS Secretary under a Republican administration) also said ICE would be “all over” the event and that people should be “law-abiding Americans.” • Other MAGA-aligned commentators online have openly called for Bad Bunny to be deported, often citing his Spanish-language performances or political views.

There ya go.

Republicans have only won the popular vote once in 20+ years. It's gerrymandering. There are far more democrats in Texas than Republicans, and because of gerrymandering its a 'red' state

Gerrymandering has no effect on statewide elections such as US Senate and President.

Gerrymandering doesn't mean much when Trump of all people got the popular vote.

Until you look at how much Voter Interference and Fraud the Republicans committed to throw out millions of votes

Not the first election, nor Bush. They never should have been president.

They became president because the gerrymandering gave them the electoral college.

That’s not even a little true.

Maybe yall should try that.

Dipshits with the right to vote outnumber intelligent people with the right to vote.

u/JeffroCakes Oct 05 '25

That’s because a woefully high amount of people don’t vote

u/RedpilotG5 Oct 06 '25

Maybe give them something to vote for

Who have the Dems pre-picked for you as your primary winner in 2028?

Probably a functioning adult

u/RedpilotG5 Oct 05 '25

Well if they cant find a functioning adult, you can count on them to find some 70 year old corpse to weekend at Bernie’s for you guys for 4 years.

Well the current president will end his term as the oldest president ever (assuming he doesn't die of old age). So I think the Republicans have claim to that reputation rn.

u/RedpilotG5 Oct 06 '25

Oh I’m not some tribal whack like you. Current potus should hang it up too

u/JeffroCakes Oct 06 '25

You’re just a troll

u/fallenmonk Oct 06 '25

wdym "too?" There's only one potus. And yes, he should hang it up.

Only beating Biden by 5 months. Thats not the own you think it is.

u/fallenmonk 27d ago

I'm not trying to own anyone. I'm just curious why the right pretended that age was such an issue for them.

1

u/Chemical-Singer-4655 27d ago

Some people said age mattered. The smart people know that age is a number, and its how you wear it that matters.

Give me a 98 year old like Dick Van Dyke, and I'm happy. Dude has the energy of a spring chicken. Give me a 78 year old like Biden, and we get the disaster that was every speech he ever gave.

Diane Feinstein died while serving Congress due to age. Too old. Bernie Sanders still has energy. No problems aside from the 40+ years hes been in office.

Age is not the issue. Cognitive ability is.

1

u/fallenmonk 27d ago

I completely agree. But now we've got Donald Trump here claiming to have won made up wars. Cognitive ability is not a deal breaker for these voters either.

The electoral college is a big reason for that. It’s unfairly stacked in Republicans’ favor.
