“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.
Idaho State Sen. Dan Foreman, a conservative Republican
Said this to
Trish Carter-Goodheart, a Democrat running for a House seat
Always use names. The veil of "a politician said" or "big company does" is too blinding. Name and shame.
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.
It isn't, but to be fair, it absolutely does add an additional layer of irony that they weren't even born there.
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.
pointing out hypocrisy is so pointless. does anyone on the left not realize that they're all hypocrites? please raise your hand if you need that explained.
ok. next issue on the docket: what are we going to do about it?
I dunno. At some level, when all hope is gone, I find myself hoping the state where I live hasn't gone full fascist.
The person he said that to missed a great opportunity to say, "sure. Give me your house keys."
Right after you do!
Why right after I do when I wasn't the one who told anyone to go back where they came from, especially when that's literally where they came from?
If an indigenous person who's people used to be on my land asked for it back, I might consider it. But that would be difficult because they're all dead.
I meant "Right after the person saying 'Go back where you came from ' went back to where they came from".
Not actually the part about the keys; sorry I didn't make that clear.
Some Idaho state senators are such stupid turds.
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)
Even better: she's from the Nez Perce tribe, who do still live in the general area they originally came from. Which isn't always a given for very violent and racist reasons.
So he doesn't come from there, his ancestors definitely didn't come from there, and hers very much did.
How does someone like this become senator?
People in power usually aren't smart. They just have money from their parents or grandparents. This isn't a meritocracy. Idiots rule the world
and there's only one way to get rid of them
Trick them in to thinking that the senate building is haunted.
I'm sure that'll work, provided there aren't any meddlesome kids about!
Great, now they're diverting all the tax revenue to churches to pay for exorcisms.
Additionally, the dumb relate to the dumb (and are easily manipulated), hence why they get votes.
Protest votes.
"Alright..." looks around at the country his people lived in for longer than white dudes lived in it "....Done, now what?"
Surelly the right answer would've been "Go back to Europe".
(Mind you, as an European, please don't).
Them: Done. Your turn.
Carpetbagging Idaho state senator....
Totally on brand. It will be funny one day for a Native American to say this to one of these racists.
Not wishing to make an unwarranted assumption, I looked up Sen. Foreman's political party. And yes, of course, he's GOP.
I wonder what political party he is affiliated with. It's really a mystery, isn't it?
You know what really aggravateses me is them immigants. They want all the benefits of living in Springfield, but they ain't even bothered to learn themselfs the langwich!
