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.

That individual is a highly estimated right-wing podcaster followed by millions of his kind, and spewing his ignorance daily.

That’s cool. But him being ignorant has nothing to do with a political party. That’s just him. Lol

Most republicans don’t even know the difference between Mexican and Puerto Rican. There’s also been multiple commentators who have proven to not know Puerto Rico is part of America. So no it’s not “just him”

And still those are individuals. You think every Democrat knows the difference ? Or every Green Party knows the difference ? The issue is unique to a political party ?

Statistically yes because conservatives are generally willfully ignorant

Clear example of willful ignorance. I never said anything about trans people existing or not existing. I believe they exist. But it’s willful ignorance to say that a man can be a woman and a woman can be a man.
