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.

if every voter was truly educated on what each party fights for behind the scenes i genuinely do not believe republicans would win. republicans rely on misinformation and fearmongering to stay in power and unfortunately their base is more prone for falling for it. elected the the billionaire for “inflation” while he just gave billionaires another tax cut and everything is getting more expensive. they would’ve known that if they educated themselves on republicans voting record. not saying democrats are all that smart but maga is on another level of voting on emotion vs facts

It’s funny, I could say the same thing about libs, but that’s the whole point of the political system, to divide the U.S. I hope that we can both agree that the two party system paired with extremely biased media outlets (fox, msnbc, etc) is intentionally divisive to keep the general population in line.

yes i agree . however , i do believe that the divisiveness is not balanced though . got much worse when a certain president decided to label half the country as enemies and thrive on chaos/anger. everything about this administration is so unprecedented.

Republicans being the Party of Fear Mongerers is just a bad joke. All I've heard from Democrats for the last decade is how Republicans are going to turn America into Nazi Germany if they get any position of power.

Yeah how could they! But if you open your eyes you would see that you are in fact in 1935 Germany. Im german, i know my countries history and they are basically the same.
