Surelly the right answer would’ve been “Go back to Europe”.
(Mind you, as an European, please don’t).
The person he said that to missed a great opportunity to say, “sure. Give me your house keys.”
“Alright…” looks around at the country his people lived in for longer than white dudes lived in it “…Done, now what?”
Them: Done. Your turn.
He looks kinda like a mix of Putin and Zuckerberg.
Damn, you’re right.
Totally on brand. It will be funny one day for a Native American to say this to one of these racists.
This stupid fuck of a senator needs to go back to where he came from (sorry Illinois, you can’t just dump your garbage in other states like that)
“Idaho senator born in another state tells Native American congressional candidate from a tribe native to the state to “go back where you came from.”
It would have been a much wordier headline but relays a lot more pertinent information.
Their ideology is a cancer
An ideology of “I won’t listen to you because I’m motivated to oppress everyone else for my own gain,” is, most definitely, going to make the world worse. And this will be entirely on purpose, and no one will apologise.
Which state someone is from isn’t what people care about.
*Y’all are some funny misreaders. I don’t support him, I’m just saying these idiots don’t care about the state. Focusing on state for some reason is weird.
The point is the hypocrisy. Telling someone to go back where they came from in a place where you aren’t from either is hypocritical as fuck.
I dunno. At some level, when all hope is gone, I find myself hoping the state where I live hasn’t gone full fascist.
It isn’t, but to be fair, it absolutely does add an additional layer of irony that they weren’t even born there.
“where you come from doesn’t matter” says someguy3 in defense of a racist colonist telling someone to go back where they came from while actively living on their land.
??? I don’t support him, I’m just saying these idiots don’t care about the state.
The irony has been palpable for over a century. Bizarre that we still accept it as a society
That’s not the irony.
The irony is people flying the flag of violent traitors who fought a bloody war against this country while screaming that anybody who doesn’t like it here should get out.
We desperately needed to let them leave back then, the country would be so much better.
But hey, at least we changed a few sports team names. So that’s something, right?
Yeah, about that…
Well, if we are going to be anal about this, the “native american” is simply descended from people who immigrated a lot earlier. No human is truly native to the americas. All immigrants.
Thank you, Captain Literal! You saved the day again!
From now on, we’ll just call them indigenous instead and still call this state senator a racist fuck. Happy?
If we’re going to be anal about it, we don’t need to mention ancestors at all. One of these people was born in Idaho. The other was not. Get it?
Ok, this argument is pointlessly absurd because you don’t get to stop there and have to apply it to human migration all over the planet. If you’re going to be anal about it.
Let’s be real, Humans are an invasive species native to Africa
Fuck it, why stop at humans
Life is an invasive species native to the ocean
Allegedly*
The other politicians there have confirmed that it happened.
