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

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

    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)

    “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.

        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.

      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.

        I dunno. At some level, when all hope is gone, I find myself hoping the state where I live hasn’t gone full fascist.

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

    Well, if we are going to be anal about this, the “native american” is simply descended from people who immigrated a lot earlier. No human is truly native to the americas. All immigrants.

      If we’re going to be anal about it, we don’t need to mention ancestors at all. One of these people was born in Idaho. The other was not. Get it?

      Ok, this argument is pointlessly absurd because you don’t get to stop there and have to apply it to human migration all over the planet. If you’re going to be anal about it.
