“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

[-] Samvega 34 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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.

[-] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 65 points 10 months ago

It isn't, but to be fair, it absolutely does add an additional layer of irony that they weren't even born there.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] dubious@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 54 points 10 months ago

The person he said that to missed a great opportunity to say, "sure. Give me your house keys."

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.

[-] Trigger2_2000@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] mokus 49 points 10 months ago

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)

[-] frezik@midwest.social 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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.

[-] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 48 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

How does someone like this become senator?

[-] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 52 points 10 months ago

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

[-] dubious@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

and there's only one way to get rid of them

[-] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 20 points 10 months ago

Trick them in to thinking that the senate building is haunted.

[-] ochi_chernye@startrek.website 5 points 10 months ago

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.

"Alright..." looks around at the country his people lived in for longer than white dudes lived in it "....Done, now what?"

[-] Aceticon@lemmy.world 39 points 10 months ago

Surelly the right answer would've been "Go back to Europe".

(Mind you, as an European, please don't).

[-] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 32 points 10 months ago

Them: Done. Your turn.

Carpetbagging Idaho state senator....

[-] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 27 points 10 months ago

Totally on brand. It will be funny one day for a Native American to say this to one of these racists.

[-] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 25 points 10 months ago

Not wishing to make an unwarranted assumption, I looked up Sen. Foreman's political party. And yes, of course, he's GOP.

[-] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Or you could have, you know, read the article.

I wonder what political party he is affiliated with. It's really a mystery, isn't it?
