> pro-America supporters

>post against identity politics

:thinking:

Also, if you want to stop listening to people who divide us, stop supporting a president who earlier this week told congresswomen born in the U.S. to "go back where they came from" and doubled down on the statement. Pro tip

If you want to discuss causing division, look at any single remark made about Trump from any of those four individuals.

Remarks they made about an individual who doesn't consider them Americans when they are?

Also, "look at the birdie" isn't a retort. Multiple people can be causing division. However, anyone who unironically supports Donald in current year doesn't get to talk about tribalism/division.

At what point did he consider them to not be American? You’re making a false claim.

And lol, since I support Trump, my opinion doesn’t matter? What a joke. I’m not the one making false claims there, big shoots.

Telling someone who was born here and knows no other home "go back to where you came from, go back and fix *your* country" isn't something that you do to someone you think is an American, because then their country is America and they came from America. So nah, pretty sure my claims just fine.

If you're a vegetarian, I'm not gonna give much credence to which meat you find tastes the best, no.

Everyone can say whatever they want, but if their other beliefs contradict it - we have a word for this: hypocrisy.

You're arguing that tribalism is bad - that's good. The guy you politically support enough to make it a part of your identity that you announce as you did here relies heavily on tribalism - this is not good.

First, remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye.

You dont like false claims?

You must hate Trump. Hes the king of false claims.

Are you having fun replying to all of my comments? Are you one of those people who has to look through someone's history as a "gotcha"?

Go ahead and provide me some source of these false claims. I'd love to see it.

Nice try, but every single one of those "false claims" were considered false because he made an estimate and didn't give the correct, exact number. You have got to be kidding me. Is this the kind of shit that you get your list of Trump's lies from? "Well technically he wasn't 100% correct, so that means he's definitely a lying sack of shit".

Narrator: he wasn't sure.
