Star Member lunatica (42,489 posts)https://www.democraticunderground.com/100212280544I've been told to leave this country more than onceI’m white, so it isn’t just people of color who hear this. I’ve always been a Progressive Democrat, and I’ve heard it because of that. I’m bilingual so I’ve heard it because of that. I’m anti war so I’ve really heard it because of that. What I have been told is that if I’m so unhappy why don’t I go live in another country, or that I would be happier in another country. People have asked me why I live here. My answer has always been that this is my country and that I love it. This response so far has been the winner in these confrontations. They don’t expect an answer because they think that just by saying it they’ve won some contest. A contest that only exists in their head. This entire thing is just the first time it has been said by a President to all Americans. He embodies the lowest common denominator of the dark side of this country. He’s a bigot. This will only serve to unite us even more.

Star Member mainer (10,592 posts) 10. You have no idea how different those words sound to nonwhitesIt’s one thing to be told to leave the country because you’re an unhappy hippie. It’s a completely different thing to be nonwhite and told those words because you “don’t belong.” One is a rejection of your politics. The other is a rejection of your humanity.

So ... why haven't you accepted the invitation?What DUpipo don't know or choose to ignore is that Trump's Tweets were not "love it or leave it". Trump's clear meaning is so opposite from how the MSM and Dems are representing it that the Dem's and MSM are clearly intentionally lying. Unsurprisingly.
The MSM more so because (at least on websites) they have story after story about "Trump's racist tweet" but they never bother show the actual tweet. Neither an image nor verbatim. The day he sent it there was at least a link to the tweet but most stories do not even do that.
Ruh Roh!Looks like Trump's popularity has gone up 3-5 points after calling out the TWAT Squad.
Ted Kennedy is the only person with an actual confirmed kill in the war on women.
Link?I am sure it is true btw (no sarcasm).
