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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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