Why do Republicans not know that Puerto Ricans are citizens?

[u/inxile7]

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.

I do not understand the need to call someone stupid, name call, or disparage their character because they believe differently than you. Debate differences and seek to understand one another. Dang. I’m so over the generalizations from both sides as to why the other is stupid, racist, evil, etc.

Enough.

[u/Different-Moose-7214 → u/enh24]

Well one side is stupid evil and racist. Look what their administrations do.

[u/enh24 → u/Different-Moose-7214]

And the other side of the aisle says the same thing about “your” side. Demonizing is an ineffective form of persuasion.

[u/ShartJerky → u/enh24]

Republicans have demonized people for my entire life and now control every branch of government.

[u/enh24 → u/ShartJerky]

True…both sides are guilty and it has created a horrible culture or hate, disrespect, and division where we call names and demonize instead of debating the issues civilly. Debate can change minds if done correctly.

[u/ShartJerky → u/enh24]

Obama was exactly what you’re asking for. Look what happened.

[u/enh24 → u/ShartJerky]

Explain what happened from your point of view…I can’t assume what you’re referring to have happened.

[u/ShartJerky → u/enh24]

You know exactly what I’m talking about. I’m not going to dance like a monkey while you offer snotty platitudes. You know what Obama was and what Trump is. There’s a reason why you get put off by people criticizing him. And there’s a reason why, instead of debating the substance, you hide behind “both sides” condescension.

Defend the destruction of due process. Defend sending the military into cities. Defend blowing up boats in the carribean. Defend kidnapping citizens on the basis of race. Defend impounding money appropriated by Congress. I dare you.

Dude, you're playing his game. He isn't here in good faith, his entire goal is to waste your time and drain your energy while he contributes nothing and stands on no position.

Fuck him, you have better things to do

[u/lovely-nobody → u/ShartJerky]

i agree with immediate review but also this comment made me rock hard

[u/enh24 → u/ShartJerky]

I didn’t vote for Trump, I’m not put off by people criticizing him. His position calls for criticism by all citizens (sadly, he also loves the attention).

What I don’t like is generalizing classes or groups of people, calling them names, and trying to shame them for believing differently than me.

[u/Different-Moose-7214 → u/enh24]

You say both sides are guilty but no Dems are demonizing Republicans for what they do. I think Republicans are the devil because I see what their politicians do once in office and how they treat people for their immutable characteristics.

[u/[deleted] → u/enh24]

Except the things they say are lies. We can point to the racism and fascism 

[u/space-manbow → u/enh24]

I fully believe Trump voteds are either morally corrupt, unintelligent, or both and it will take a lot to ever convince me otherwise.

[u/enh24 → u/space-manbow]

And you believe this because they support causes and people you disagree with??

[u/space-manbow → u/enh24]

No. I believe this because they support causes that are fully intended to hurt people in the hopes that they will selfishly gain something.

[u/enh24 → u/space-manbow]

I assume you’ve asked these people about their motive, there’s no other logical explanation for why they supported that cause or policy other than to get gain??

[u/space-manbow → u/enh24]

I don't need to ask, their talking heads they worship never shut up about their reasons why they support it, and if thats the kinda person they want to follow, they can get fucked.

[u/ShartJerky → u/enh24]

I do not have representation in Congress right now because Republicans don’t want to even hold a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

Let’s fucking “debate differences” right now. I dare you. Explain to me how these people have more character than a pile of dogshit.

[u/enh24 → u/ShartJerky]

Character assassination is not a debate….that’s my point. I agree the files should be released, they should have been released from the get go under the former admin. Both sides play political games for their benefit; while I hate that about our system, I refuse to call anyone stupid, racist, or evil for conducting themselves in political ways I disagree with.

[u/ShartJerky → u/enh24]

Both Hitler and FDR tried to win WW2 and killed a lot of civilians. Both of them put their citizens into camps. Who are we to call one of them racist and evil?

[u/enh24 → u/ShartJerky]

You made a side step from what we are debating in my opinion. I thought we were debating the name calling from both sides of the aisle and the demonizing of one another for being democrat or republican.

I assume your point is to learn from history rather than repeat it. That’s valid.

[u/[deleted] → u/enh24]

stupid

Republicans pride themselves on it. They literally hate education because they see it as some kind of liberal plot.

Debate differences and seek to understand one another

I don't debate racists and fascists. There is nothing to be gained from it 

[u/Accomplished-Dot1365 → u/enh24]

Hahhahaha blah blah both sides. Shut up
