    Honestly it’s completely readable as someone who can understand Spanish, but it feels otherworldly for some reason, like I’m reading a quite not right version of Spanish, like reading Afrikaans to a Dutch speaker.

    Y’know I could see this being done by a third party in an attempt to portray the GOP as not caring about Hispanics (Not that they do care lol)

    I don’t know Latin and haven’t taken Spanish for like 20 years, but would the first line translate to “Legal (my emphasis) Hispanics and Latinos”? Gotta love courting the votes of a demographic while still showing your bias against them.

    Now I’m picturing a candidate from another part of the world trying to appeal to the white minority via Anglo Saxon language and imagery billboards 😄🤦

      The number of people in my town that think our language is American, Mexicans speak Mexican, all Asian people are Chinese, and any random combination of cities/countries are part of the United States makes this very plausible.

        You do have a few Saint-Petersburgs, right? And Athens? And Cairos?

        that think our language is American,

        Similar to Russia then.

        Mexicans speak Mexican,

        Similar to Russia then.

        all Asian people are Chinese,

        Still similar to Russia.

        Like you could say American is a sub dialect of English with it further broken down into accents. But I doubt most folks think of it that way, especially folks who say “I speak American” outside of an argument with the English.

            Sure, but we’ve been in this timeline since the Escalator Ride to Hell so it’s not, like, that unusual.

            Heck, Pizzagate was a no-shit, for real thing these chowderheads yapped about for years. Maybe still do.

        How the hell can you see this being put up by Democrats? What idiot messaging do they have that even comes close to the torrent of ignorant bullshit the republiQans swim in every moment of the day?

          Not the party, but it falls very in line with the current “whether or not this is true, they seem the type” attacks such as the couch fucker memes
