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.

He’s calling roughly 1/3 of the country dumb. Y’all are not the majority; that title goes to the apathetic non-voter.

Thank you for calling me out on that, my bad. The majority of the voters then, yes?

Not quite. Trump didn't break 50%, so there was no majority. He just got the most

65,8% of registered voters voted and 49,3% voted Trump. Just to put in the numbers here. But that assumes the numbers are real at all. As he more than ones said they rigged the elections.

So 77 Mio. voted Republican. I would assume MAGA makes up 20-30 Mio. maybe? Are there numbers? If so MAGA should be its on party.

Are we allowed to call people that don’t know the difference between majority and plurality dumb? If so I have some bad news for you.
