    I don’t understand how any person regardless of color could be a maga supporter. They’re openly hostile to everything that benefits ordinary people, and also very open about taking any money saved from cutting programs and giving it to the 0.1%. How can someone support that? How can someone go “hell yes! Poison the planet and steal my social security so that Musk can have even more money! Fuck yeah, brother!”? It makes zero sense.

    As in… Trump would send you back to Africa if it turned out he couldn’t enslave you.

    You can’t send someone “back” to somewhere they’ve never been. African Americans have been here almost as long as Caucasians.

      The “send back to africa” part was sarcasm.

      In Australia “go back to where you came from” is the catch cry of xenophobes. There was a hate group in the 00’s that literally wanted to deport anyone of Asian descent, regardless of their migration status.
