What did Democrats do wrong?

[thaiboxerken]

As with any political philosophy, there is no bright line.

If you can produce a quote to back up "all brown people" then I'll stop dismissing this line of argument as hyperbole.

If you think what The Party refers to as "immigrants" doesn't mean brown people, you aren't very bright.

If you don't interpret their public pronouncements the same way I do, you must be an utter moron.

Perhaps what the Democrats did wrong was failing to grossly exaggerate the same way you do.

Maybe we failed to explain or it was too complicated. The demagogue won.

Trump Voters Fail To Understand Basic Economics...or much of anything

"Yeah." "I did not understand those....words...they use."

The words are literally coming out of their mouths. They don't require interpretation.

When Bogative, one of our resident MAGAs, talks about immigrants, he means 'brown people'. That much is for sure.

Then my request for an actual quote should be considered fairly reasonable.

Here it is again: Can anyone provide a quote from Trump or close associates saying that all Hispanics need to go?

Perhaps what Democrats did wrong was failing to include this damning quote in their ad campaigns, given the shift among such voters.

He means illegal immigrants. You're the one assuming that illegal immigrants are overwhelmingly one skin color. Your the one who thinks that skin color matters in these things.

Na, we ain't playing that game. Let's be adults and honest. "Legality" for certain folks is detemrined by the brown paper bag test. That's why the goons you carry water for use "immigrant" and "illegal immigrant" interchangably. That's why the attacks on birth right citizenship. That's why we don't send the paramilitary forces into the boards rooms and homes of executives who profit from undocumented workers.

You know as well as anyone else that they mean brown people. Vranyo may work in Russia, but the USA isn't there yet. So stop lying.

It's incredible that even after eight+ years of Dump, including a whole term with him as president (where a million Americans died, if I might add), people are still asking questions that pretty much amount to "huh, what do you mean water is wet?"

I don't get a seeing eye dog, so why should blind people get them?! UNFAIR!

It's a strange complaint. If you believe in social progress, you should *want* kids today to have stuff you didn't have growing up.

Oh, wait...

How many illegal immigrants of other skin colours are there?

Don't know, don't care. It's the illegality, not the ethnicity, that matters to me.

My hypothesis is that some people know that illegal immigration is indefensible, but don't want to concede a point to "the right", so they resort to vile non sequiturs as part of a Big Lie strategy.

It's not like Cosmic Yak has a principled, coherent argument for why illegal immigration should be tolerated if it's brown people.

There are plenty of illegal, caucasian immigrants but you won't see them deport en masse.

I don't believe you at all. I believe that ethnicity matters a lot to you. People who support The Party are supporting White Supremacy, after all.

I think a better question would be how many "brown people" cannot be legally deported, given the claim was Trump intends to deport us all.

"Legality" for certain folks is detemrined by the brown paper bag test.

Big news if true and the Dems certainly should have mentioned it in their campaign messaging.

 

[thaiboxerken]

Everyone knows they are talking about brown people, including you. This vranyo strategy of yours isn't working, none of us are fooled by it.

 

[bruto]

Of course there's no coherent, identifiable bias against any specific ethic group that can't be sidestepped. A big campaign rally in which the hired comedian called Puerto Rico a floating pile of garbage and disparaged their apparent fertility with disgusting double-entendres, which seemed in passing like confusing Puerto Ricans with immigrants, dismissed as a joke, those offended humorless libs, that sort of thing, so nothing to see here, nothing to be worried about. It's not as if anything like profiling might take place, and freedom is an omelet with one T, the real American kind. Just remember to have your papers handy. Whoa! Don't reach for them, though! Maybe get them embroidered and sew them to your jacket.

Trump's speech complaining about immigrants from ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ countries, and bemoaning the lack of immigrants from countries like Norway, made it abundantly clear who he is talking about.
