No.

And by the way, what tribe let YOU in here??

(addressed to straw man, not poster)

I can't say that I haven't wanted to say this to right-wingers sometimes, especially during the Obama years because of how they much they hated Obama for largely irrational reasons, but, you're right, it's not the right thing to say to somebody.

he's trying to take away the First Amendment right from those who criticize him.

Maybe he's living another sexual fantasy of his where he gets to bully dark skinned people?

That phrase is an an attempt to silence critics.

and who gets up every morning and who, before tweeting out his racist hate of the day, takes a dump on The Constitution and wipes his butt with a page torn from the Bible, I'd say they're the ones that should be leaving.

It is up to the American people to see what is wrong and change it.

or.. .If you have a problem with someone in your family you just quit??? Is that all you got?
What faux noise couch person told you that one... or did you think it up on your own..
Being a monday morning quarter back is fun!!

60's on the "why don't you move to Moscow" I used to get when they ran out of even stupid arguments.

.

You GTFO!

.

But they didn't leave -- they fought.

.

So when these assholes talk about going back to America's roots. Those were the roots.

.

They should've gone back to Britain and fought against the monarchy there.

Trumpublicans frequently govern as though they are the only ones whom matter in this country and pretty much ignore or squelch any dissent. We see this on a smaller scale in many states as well. While some people can and do move to other areas in the country, it is prohibitive in several ways for many of us to do so and, frankly, things shouldn't be so bad that somebody feels that they should *have* to move from where they are born and raised their entire lives- if they want to stay put. The problem that I see is that, in some areas, people's true needs and grievances aren't being adequately addressed and their leaders, instead of trying harder to listen, basically shut them down and make it so that they can't express themselves politically by gerrymandering and other forms of voter suppression. Local communities try to exert themselves and state governments turn around and shut them down. The ultimate point is that we all should have the ability to express ourselves politically and work to make our environments, states, communities better for ourselves and others and that "just leaving" isn't a realistic solution for most people.

free speech.

"fuck off" is as good as anything.

I have a grad school friend who did leave, for Cyprus with stops in Macau. he did not love it; so he left. he has no regrets.

I’ve said that. It was glorious

exactly.

Putin must be ecstatic to see us faltering due to his puppet and he is not lifting a finger.

"You first, Abominable Glowman!"

Perhaps you should leave for a country not quite so dedicated to rights for all? I hear Russia is really making strides in that direction.

peaceably assemble and petition the government for a redress of your grievances.

You refer to the remarks made during this evenet:

No, I'm not going to sit through the whole thing. I did, though, catch this, at 41:47: "If you're not happy here, you can leave."

I have zero tolerance for that shit.

People figure it out pretty quickly if they don't already know.

I used to have a relative who'd send me those wretched apocryphal stories of Jesus saving people, people who must have reminded her of me.

My final response was direct:

"Don't send me any more of these or I will mark them as spam."

My first, polite, responses were wasted effort.

That’s a great answer

that the US is better than this. We can and should be better.

I also sometimes tell them that if they want a libertarian paradise, try any of the countries without a currently functional government.

stay put and work like hell to making this a better country.

"'Cause you sure as hell didn't like it then."

an injustice etc., just as I have criticized the children I love when they do something wrong.

That attitude of love it leave it is just plain CHILDISH.

And exiling them to frozen desolate asteroid would be too kind x10000000000

Go fuck yourself sideways with a first edition, hardcover copy of Atlas Shrugged, you worthless piece of amphibian shit.

First, I determine their veteran status. If they didn't serve, I tell them I'm a better American because I did. In combat. (I don't believe that, but...)
If they are a veteran, I ask them if they quit during combat. Since we are fighting for the soul of the country, why would I quit and leave? Marines don't quit...something to remember in the upcoming days.
Next, I ask them why didn't they leave during the Obama years. To hear them, Obama was the anti-christ Muslim communist Kenyan come to take their guns and Bibles.
Lastly, as has been suggested by other posters, I tell them to go fuck themselves.

The right always frames soldiers and the military as an exclusive conservative property to defend their p.o.v. and shut down dissent. But the reality is that soldiers fight for every American's freedom.

I always picture a soldier who was fighting for my right to exist as an equal. Glad you're on our side.

I'm not going to stop eating...especially when someone tries to force me to eat it.

Plain and simple: No

Some people are so closed-minded and rigid in their bigoty, they can’t stretch their minds enough to take in new information. “Love it or leave it” is their lazy/ignorant way to rationalize their racism and win/end the conversation. They don’t care about the facts or what’s right. They only want to get their way, to heck with everyone else, and won’t ever willingly say/do what’s fair and just.

It makes you wonder how history would be different if the natives had slaughtered everyone that stepped off the Mayflower or Christopher Columbus’ ships, for that matter.

as a solution to what to do with the slaves in the late 1700's. It was proposed to send them back to Africa because they couldn't do well living in a white mans country.

I've heard this expression (and variations) in Miami.

Unless you're Native American, it doesn't matter when you or your ancestors arrived here, we're all immigrants.

"Why leave when I can try to make it better? Running away from problems is a coward's suggestion... so I get why you'd mention it, but don't project your craven ethics onto me."

(I said that in response to an acquaintance recently. He avoided our table for the rest of the night)

I had a co-worker who came into work and was loudly boasting about the election and was asking everyone individually how they liked the results.

They didn't like what I had to say and told me if I didn't like it, to leave.


My response: I'm staying right here to fight for common decency and against fascism. I will be voting in the 2018 midterms as well.


They didn't have anything to say and walked away.

includes the First Amendment.

BTW, my first reaction after the election was to respond to a post on Facebook. I said something like, what did you all do? You just activated the racist agenda.

None of them knew that Trump had anything to do with racism. Most thought I was worried about nothing. And here we are today.
