They can't vote, so why would they care? Easy targets, no apparent consequences.

Edit: /s

Except for the millions of Puerto Ricans that live in the Continental US.

Yeah I'm on board, I was attempting some mild satire.

If they don't live in Pennsylvania, Arizona or Nevada, they also don't count.

The conservative ones will just ignore this like always.

Puerto Ricans can and do move and there's large numbers of them in swing states. There's 450 thousand just in Pennsylvania

EDIT: also doesn't help that he also said

“These Latinos, they love making babies, too. Just know that they do,” Hinchcliffe said, setting up his joke: “There’s no pulling out. They don’t do that. They c-- inside, just like they did to our country."

Yeah, I was being mildly satirical. Insulting any people group seems like it should be a losing move. I wish it were.

[-] RangerJosie@lemmy.world 29 points 2 weeks ago

Why the /s?

That's literally the point. Easy target, plus they're brown people i/e "Not Real Americans"

Bone stock Republican shit.

[-] owenfromcanada@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

I guess in this case the /s is for satire.

[-] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

"We're The Real Americans!" while flying the confederate flag.

[-] RangerJosie@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Completely without irony. Absolutely destitute of self reflection.

[-] errer@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago

You couldn’t invent a band of chucklefucks more capable at torpedoing a presidential campaign…and yet here we are, tied, with apparently no ability to sway any voters away from Trump. It’s so demoralizing.

They're just bullies.
