Personally don’t see anything there that is racist. I coached plenty of Europeans that were always overly critical of my country when they were on an athletic scholarship. We’ll leave then. I see the Squad in the same way. In my view the whole “racist” label is thrown out just to shut someone up. BS deal used by folks with weak arguments. Most of this thread is calling names one direction or the other. One reason I rarely post. Checking in weekly, always the same. Trump still President the Russia thing was exactly what Van Jones said it was “a nothing burger.”
There is one fundamental difference between the European athletes who complained about America and the four congresswoman that Trump told to go home. The four congresswomen ARE Americans. Three of them American born and the fourth a US citizen. THAT is the big difference. I bet Trump won’t ever tell Joe Biden to go home is he complains about Trumps presidency.
Republicans in Congress who were NOT born in the U.S.
-- Dan Crenshaw (UK)
-- David Rouzer (Germany)
-- Mark Meadows (France)
-- Ted Cruz (Canada)

Why don't you ask your favorite President Trump who has done more to encourage illegal immigrants to come here than anyone you have heard of? He has employed illegal immigrants for decades, Dumb Dumb.
Trump will have the highest DISAPPROVAL of ANY presidential reelection candidate since Carter. And it's not like his percentages are somehow going to move beyond the standard error. Keep convincing yourself this election is going to be close. Harris, Biden, or whoever isn't Clinton nor are they "The Squad". They will try to convince you that they are one in the same....but they will not achieve the equal hatred of both candidates like we had in 2016.
This is going to be the largest Electoral win since Bush rode the aura of Reagan to victory in '88. The dem candidate will approach 400.

Yes, I did know exactly what you were talking about.
Would you know what I was talking about if I said something about "n!ggers"? Does that make it an appropriate word to use?
If we both knew of some girls who liked to party and dressed to show off, would you know what I was talking about if I said something about "those wh0res"?
You see, knowing what/whom someone is talking about does not justify the choice of words. Words are often used as weapons. Referring to someone as "an illegal", like referring to someone as a wh0re, etc. is a way of dehumanizing them - regardless of whether one is aware of it. These types of references add heat to the conversation without adding any light.
Try to add light.
So many fallacies, so little time. lol

Sure, during the Vietnam War “love it or leave it.” You are as bad as actual racists. Everyone you disagree with is a racist.
During the Vietnam War? Isn't that like more than four decades ago? You haven't heard that since then? Seriously? I am shocked. Absolutely shocked.

I'd love you to be right, but I think you're dead wrong.
As others have asked: How does Donald Trump lose 35 electoral votes? And once someone has convincingly explained that, tell us how he loses a HUNDRED more.

The entire hospitality and construction industries employ illegal aliens nationwide. Why don't you admit that Trump has ended that practice of hiring illegal aliens?
As of January, the Trump Organization began to use E-Verify for all employees at the Trump properties. The illegal alien employees have been fired.
How does Trump lose 35 electoral votes?
PA (20) plus MI (16) flips 36
And they were razor thin wins that were very unexpected.
100 more?
FL 29
OH 18
NC 15
WI 10
AZ 11
GA 16
IA 6
Texas would be 38 more
as the caption says, Germans know fascism. And they're looking at it right there.
trumpers, come back to America. Stop with the fascism and racism.

0/10 - so, one of your better efforts.
Good job!
It is interesting that, for the most part, the Trumpettes on here think that Trump will win easily while the anti-Trumpettes think that Trump will lose.
Doesn't say good things about the cognitive abilities of the human species.

They were all fired only because he was found out, and he had no choice. He created an environment of illegal workers, even the brown ones that you hate so much, coming here for decades. You are a fool to think of him as some sort of savior of any kind. You are a Dumb Dumb. Really f*cking stupid.

Lets get back to politics, my thoughts on where we are right now.
I think the Democrats certainly have the edge in 2020 but the Democrats can easily lose in 2020 too. The election will probably come down to the swing states of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania , Ohio and Florida. Telling someone who was born in the United States to go back where you came from whether directed at a black, Asian or Muslim is a very bigoted and racist thing to say. But additionally calling or being shocked by Trump saying this is nothing new and will not change his popularity. Some movement with borderlines may occur but the effect of comments like this are forgotten in a couple weeks. It will not help Democrats in 2020. Polls show Trump's strength in the South is stronger than it has ever been.
Trump is very good politically for Omar and the self named "squad". A vicious attack by Trump on a young minority makes them the darling of the Democrat party. Omar and the squad are suddenly getting more coverage than the Democratic candidates . Omar is very radical and out of step with the Democratic party. Her support of BDS is amazingly one sided and against our ally Israel. Omar was a nobody until Trump helped her by attacking her. The squad is a very appealing and media attention drawing group. This is bad for the Democratic party.
The economy is not as robust as Trump pretends it to be. The job growth for Obama's last two years were stronger than Trump's first two years. The national debt has exploded (and it didn't need to) and many economist think we are basically on a sugar high right now. The advantage has not been evenly spread.
On the international level things are falling apart and we are not respected. There has been no consistent policy.
Moving to the left is a losing platform for Democrats. The self identified social democrats is a losing branding for the democrat party. (polls have indicated this). Threatening to take away private insurance is a losing platform, adding a public option is a winning platform. Open borders, free college, reparations for slavery, minimal income for everyone, erasing all student loans are all ideas that will lose in the general election.
Trump is an amazingly unpopular president but don't for a minute think this election is an easy win for Democrats.
Republicans are afraid to hold Trump accountable because of the price they will have to pay if they do this. Trump has been doing every thing he can to consolidate power and be above the law. Trump is dangerous to our democracy, its really important for the Democrats to win in 2020. Let's not blow it.
You are old school. You no longer represent mainstream Democrats. We want change not more of the same. We want you and we need your support. Just embrace our growth and we will win.
Sorry kid, your enthusiasm is great but a candidate who calls themselves a Social Democrat will not win a general election. Many of the ideas I listed as too far to the left are not embraced by the general electorate. If pushed by the party, and fortunately most of these farther left ideas are not pushed by most candidates, we risk losing everything.
The squad has one thing in common with trump. They all love the camera.

What???? No Dem nominee is sniffing 270 EV's, let alone 400. You have not been doing so well with your predictions lately. Your boy, Beta O'Dork, is all but done.
And now, you just made the most Flagpolian prognostication I have seen yet. I will bookmark this for Election Day 2020. (At least you will self ban from LR forever, if you lose.)
We all know when one makes Flagpolian statements- they always flop.

I think you are missing the point completely. When you are told "Go BACK to YOUR country" you are told that you are an outsider who does not belong to the country. It's entirely different from "love it or leave it."
If you cannot tell the difference, you are totally clueless about the minority experience in this country.
Not to mention that trump would have to move to Moscow, if that was the rule. He love him some vladdy, bet a sweet crib is waiting for him.
Trump will never be an illegal alien in Mother Russia ??. Putin already has the passport signed! If we throw him in jail, his BFF vladdy will just trade him for another spy. Something for nothing, if you saw “White Nights”.
