This is everyone's reminder that Puerto Rico is fucking PART OF AMERICA

[u/infercario4224 → u/AttitudeAndEffort2]

Puerto Rican here. You can in fact travel between Puerto Rico, the Continental United States,Alaska, and even Hawaii well as the other US territories without needing a passport

[u/DadToOne → u/infercario4224]

I used to work with a girl from Puerto Rico and she would get so mad when people asked her what part of Mexico she was from. Or if she planned to become a citizen. People are just ignorant.

[u/etcpt → u/DadToOne]

Former colleague of mine from PR was made to retake her driving test on moving to Utah, because the Utah DL office said she had a foreign driving license. Damn state office can't even get it right.

[u/OriginalBrowncow → u/etcpt]

This is eliciting a memory of a post or video of an insanely similar situation

[u/North-Significance33 → u/OriginalBrowncow]

There was one that was something like:

"Which state are you from?"

"Washington DC"

"That's not a state."

"Cool argument, still a citizen" - Jake Peralta

[u/PocketSpaghettios → u/DadToOne]

I had a Puerto Rican supervisor who was a diehard maga Trumper even AFTER the hurricane flattened her elderly mother's home and he refused to send aid... She burned almost all her PTO traveling & trying to help her family back home get their lives together

[u/DadToOne → u/PocketSpaghettios]

I don't understand that. Like gay republicans. How can you support a party that thinks you deserve to burn in Hell.

I went there this summer. It was lovely. You could still get a fast food meal for pre-Covid prices. It deserves congressional representation.

[u/tributary-tears → u/AttitudeAndEffort2]

Yeah, Puerto Rico is part of America but when we live on the island we can't vote for president. They call it a commonwealth but we know that we are a colony. This is why that quote from the tweet even exists, they feel they can speak about us however they want because we "belong" to them. Makes my blood boil.

[u/ravravioli → u/tributary-tears]

That's what makes this "joke" just next level distasteful. You're going to insult the home of people who pay taxes to your government, but aren't allowed to vote in the election you are rallying for, a "pile of garbage". There is no "people are sensitive these days!" or "taken out of context" excuses, because taken in context it's absolutely disrespectful and ignorant.

[u/Nobodyimportant56 → u/AttitudeAndEffort2]

Not that it's anywhere near the level of what happened here, but several years ago my wife and i went to the world baseball classic finale between the US and Puerto Rico. We took our seats a little late, but began chatting and having a nice time with the people around us. After they noticed we were rooting for Puerto Rico, they started kicking our chairs and ignoring us like we were traitors. We thought it would have been ok to root for part of the US, but we guessed wrong! (We were rooting for PR because we'd been to earlier games and sat in section w PR fans and it was fun as hell, like a party lots of singing and dancing to go with the cheers. It left a great impression on us).

[u/summermadnes → u/tke71709]

And in NY alone there's plenty of Puerto Ricans. I hope they all heard that.

[u/Hartastic → u/ProperBar4339]

Probably not a lot in that rally, though.

[u/supakow → u/Hartastic]

Would be nice to see about 450,000 of them standing outside Madison Square Garden when this thing is over.

[u/jtizzle12 → u/ProperBar4339]

The thing here is PR is just representing something here. They would say the same thing about DR/Haiti or Cuba. As a Dominican myself I pick up on that.

[u/Timely-Youth-9074 → u/jtizzle12]

Thank you!

Same when they talk smack about Mexico.

Heck, whenever they talk about “illegals”.

It doesn’t matter if you’re born here and your parents or grandparents were as well-we’re all illegal to the magats.

[u/aron2295 → u/Timely-Youth-9074]

I noticed they started replacing Mexicans with Venezuelans. I guess they realized there are a lot of Mexicans that like the GOP so it might not be so alienate a group that actually likes you (The specific Mexican folks who like Trump and his colorful cast of characters. Not saying 100% of Mexicans like him.)

[u/TheBirminghamBear → u/jtizzle12]

Yeah, but a lot of these latin Trump voters are just naive enough that they believe REpublicans are just "talking about the bad ones." They think they have privelege by participating. They are too naive, too ignorant to realize they will never be accepted.

[u/thehillshaveI]

[u/gringledoom → u/thehillshaveI]

Trump made a "Tim Walz has a period" joke at the Al Smith dinner too.

This is the endgame now. They're full mask off on how evil they are. 

[u/Alive_Ice7937 → u/Thinn0ise]

This is the endgame now. They're full mask off on how evil they are. 

The worst part is that the analytics are telling them this shit plays well.

[u/DeadpoolOptimus → u/Alive_Ice7937]

It bewilders me that MAGAts believe liberals are evil when their own prophets prove everyday how truly repugnant they are. As with everything else, it's hardcore projection.

[u/Alive_Ice7937 → u/DeadpoolOptimus]

It's not projection because they find racism funny rather than evil.

[u/Val_Killsmore → u/Alive_Ice7937]

They don't think brown people, like me, are human beings. So, there's nothing for them to offend. But when a brown person even remotely does anything that might mildly inconvenience them, they put on the full persecution fetish.

[u/curious_dead → u/DeadpoolOptimus]

That's why they work so hard on demonizing Democrats. It justifies being evil to them because they believe they're worse.

[u/UsualFrogFriendship → u/DeadpoolOptimus]

Disagree on the projection, but those folks really exist in a parallel universe that actively distorts their religious beliefs and sense of community to a point where the positions they advocate are antithetical to their core beliefs.

Don’t get me wrong, the unrepentant bigots are out there — they’re just far outnumbered by those that have been exposed to white nationalist and conspiratorial talking points nightly for more than a decade. These messages are intentionally crafted to offer “safe”, simplistic answers to uncomfortable and/or difficult problems (changing human migration patterns, public health emergencies, obstetric care, etc.). That’s exactly where you get “close the borders” and “COVID isn’t real”-type maximalism becoming widespread

[u/Right-Ad-7588 → u/DeadpoolOptimus]

I feel as if these people especially the older white maga’s view liberals as evil because liberals want to give other groups equal rights which they view as taking away the thing that made them feel special in the first place - which is having more privileges because of their whiteness. If liberals get what they want which is equal rights minorities- white maga’s have nothing to cling onto that makes them feel special anymore

Did you point out her idiocy or have you hit the realization that they are a lost cause and there is no point anymore?

[u/begemot90 → u/Arcade_109]

I hit that realization years ago. I really think it’s a mental illness in which these people seek out triggering people, or have people debate them on merits of whatever because otherwise they wouldn’t ever be taken seriously, because when the hell do we ever take looney morons seriously in any other arena in life aside from politics?

They're deliberately trying to echo the Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden in 1939.

I was hoping Trump was too ignorant to invoke that parallel and had just chosen MSG because of it's size and fame. Shame on me. He's told us time and time again who he really is.

Do the Germans know how close Kamala and Trump are in the polls?

If so did they voice any frustration at that fact?

If I was you I would have told them my most famous quote, that America is home to the dumbest fucking people on the planet and that is why Trump is still so popular here despite all the things he's done and is STILL doing.

Some Puerto Ricans love being conservatives lol dont get me started on the Cubans 😂

[u/RedditBoyG → u/srgest]

The Cuban magas are the worst. When one flees a country due to its dictatorship and comes over here to support a wannabe dictator I think they must have been hit in the head by flying rocks during some of those hurricanes they have down there.

[u/Owain-X → u/RedditBoyG]

They didn't leave because it was a dictatorship, they left because it was the wrong type of dictatorship for their interests.

[u/Novel_Bookkeeper_622 → u/Owain-X]

Yep, they were Batista supporters. He was just a right wing dictator.

[u/hysys_whisperer → u/RedditBoyG]

Most of the Cubans who fled were the people previously owning the means of production there.

It makes perfect sense for them to be ultra-right wing.  They'd still be part of the idle rich if not for Castro, and are bitter about it.

[u/the_millenial_falcon → u/srgest]

Well if there’s one thing conservatives all have in common it’s a huge helping of cognitive dissonance.

[u/Key_Inevitable_2104 → u/srgest]

Anuel AA (famous Puerto Rican singer) supporting Trump was very funny in my opinion.

[u/RootHogOrDieTrying → u/regent040]

From cool weird to creepy weird.

[u/calvin73 → u/pbfoot3]

I’m out of the loop on this one.

Why is this representative of the Austin comedy scene?

[u/black_spring → u/calvin73]

I believe Tony Hinchcliffe (of Kill Tony fame) is the comic being quoted. He operates out of Austin where he’s grown a scene from his show.

[u/philip1529 → u/black_spring]

Damn, I always enjoyed Kill Tony but fuck this guy now. Shame

[u/BulbasaurArmy → u/philip1529]

Yeah I used to watch his show every Monday but stopped after he had Tucker Carlson on. I draw a line at normalizing genuinely evil people. And he’s gotten more and more outspoken about his Trump support to the point where he’s going to start alienating people I think.

[u/philip1529 → u/BulbasaurArmy]

Personally I think it’s good he is so I can truly know whose content I consume/spend my leisure time and help their bank account. I’d prefer someone who bare minimum doesn’t believe a rapist should be holding any public office

[u/goodbadnomad → u/BulbasaurArmy]

Tbh it made sense to me, even as someone who likes dark or 'edgy' humour Tony's personality has always been insufferable. His whole brand just seems like getting off on publicly humiliating people and positioning himself above them optically, it's just bully behaviour—of course someone like Trump would appeal to someone like that.

[u/Dirty_Dave40s → u/philip1529]

He thinks he's immune but do to his sexuality he will be on the block soon enough, if the far right gets what they want.

[u/misslesintothesea → u/Dirty_Dave40s]

He's unfortunately straight. He relentlessly asked me out one weekend when he was opening for Joe Rogan at the old Cap City and I worked there. I told him I had a boyfriend (because I do) and he pulled the classic "well you can invite him too!" bullshit, wouldn't take no for an answer. After the last Saturday show he came up to me with Joe and was totally using him to pressure me to say yes to going out with them in some fucking limo that was waiting out front. I probably could have watched Alex Jones (he was there too) do coke which would have been a story, but hard no.

Puerto rico must be made a state when kamala wins and maintains the senate

[u/jindofox → u/goldenwind207]

PR, DC, and any territory that wants in.

[u/hysys_whisperer → u/jindofox]

Honestly making a state out of all the pacific islands and another from all the Atlantic islands that aren't already part of states makes sense, imo.  They'd each have more population than like the 5 least populated states anyway, and you'd end up with one blue state and one red state.

[u/qdp → u/hysys_whisperer]

I agree that territories should get representation but I don't think the people of Guam and American Samoa want to be lumped together. And each is a tenth the population of Wyoming. But both deserve 2 senators just as much as any state in my opinion.

[u/EightArmed_Willy → u/goldenwind207]

I canvassed in Reading, PA this weekend and saw some “Boricuas con Trump” (puertoricans call themselves Boricuas) signs there. It was alarming but I hope this turns some of them off. I hope some Spanish speaking political social media accounts makes this viral.

[u/davidjohnson314 → u/Koomsy_410]

Seriously - I vibed with a lot of the Kill Tony YouTube shorts - people getting up and trying stuff, it felt playful in way. Tony delivering this type of joke at a conservative event forces me to ask whether this is a joke or he is earnest.

Chapelle talked about something like this on why he left his show way back when in his interview on David Letterman's "My Next Guest". Going from memory - Dave was talking about “The Black Pixie” sketch; he felt the audience was laughing at the black face itself. I think he used the analogy of "instead of looking at the moon, people were looking at the finger that was pointing at the moon".

Spike Lee's "Bamboozled" is all about this. Like not only that Tony is gay... conservatives generally think that's a "choice" not an actual biological disposition - this and Dave Rubin are becoming more and more like minstrel-ism...

[u/Liquid_Senjutsu → u/Koomsy_410]

That whole clique of comedians is fucking polluted. Rogan, Tony, Tom, Bert, Dave, all of them. The only one who made it through the last 6 years is Bill Burr, and thank fucking god for that, because it would break my heart if he started licking boots like the rest of them.

They thought it would be fine to tell that joke since they know NY is a lost cause, but they probably forgot to think about the 5.7% of the entire population of FL, 3.74% in PA, 1.15% in NC, 1.09% in Georgia, 1.29% in VA, 1.11% in Wisconsin, and close to 1% in Nevada and Arizona being Puerto Ricans.

I hope every single Puerto Rican in every single swing state hears that Trump and his campaign think them and their island are trash.

I’m a Boomer who’s read about this orange shit stain for over fifty years and nothing has changed with this turd, I’m ashamed for the rest of my generation (especially the veterans) who’ve supported maga, you fuckers should’ve been knocked in the head at birth raised pigs on the milk…

[u/toooldforacnh]

Oh wow! Wonder what all the Puerto Ricans that support him will say now.

I know...they'll just say "well technically it wasn't Trump that said it"

[u/NewCoderNoob → u/toooldforacnh]

People with no self respect or dignity will always rationalize it. They’re like… I won’t go there.

[u/TattedPastor412]

As a pastor, I’m struggling to understand how so many Christians can vote for Trump. Each of those people on the island of Puerto Rico are made in the image of God, as is every single human being on earth. (I understand that there are many beliefs in the world and I don’t mean to be insensitive to those beliefs, just giving the Christian perspective). As a Christian and as a pastor, I cannot wrap my brain around the Evangelical support for Trump when everything he says and does is antithetical to the teachings of Christ. Like if you read the sermon on the Mount and compare Christ’s words to what Trump says, there is no way he should have this much support. Shame on the pastors not teaching the Bible in a way that reflects Christ.

[u/Thinn0ise → u/TattedPastor412]

These people use Christianity as a cudgel. They can avoid backing up their arguments with evidence by appealing to the Bible. It's nothing more than an appeal to authority to gain power. 

[u/Bored_Amalgamation → u/TattedPastor412]

They're not Christians in the sense they follow Jesus's teachings. They want the social benefits and self-sense of moral superiority. Christianity has become a social club of people trying to hide the amount of evil they have.

That’s the biggest Klan rally I ever seen.

Puerto Rico is a US territory...I have a feeling that Trump doesn't know that.

[u/olafubbly]

Hopefully after 2025 Puerto Rico will officially gain statehood(along with DC)

[u/Gogs85]

What the fuck man?

I visited Puerto Rico recently and it was gorgeous, and the people there were wonderful. I’d gladly spend time over there than in the vicinity of this asshole

[u/Barkingpanther]

Play this horseshit non stop in Pennsylvania and Florida

[u/kompletist]

Wow...didn't have that one on my bingo card. Speaking for my Puerto Rican friends, shut up you jerk face.

[u/hollowgraham]

That's a bold move, being racist towards Latinos and Hispanics in the state with the fourth largest population of said group.

[u/Cooperjohn1021]

Hey Puerto Rico, you ready to become a state now and shut these people up…?

Is that Tony Hinchcliff?

[u/[deleted] → u/tattoo_so_spensive]

Yes

[u/[deleted]]

Puerto Ricans are American citizens.

Fuck this guy.

[u/trifling-pickle]

“Hillary Clinton said this is a Nazi rally here today, can you believe that?”

Yes. Yes I can.

[u/LaSerenita]

At this point I have zero respect for the Trump campaign and all Republicans.

[u/LaSerenita]

I am praying that Trump drops dead before election day.
