Anne coulter's tweet

Last edited Tue Nov 8, 2016, 09:07 AM - Edit history (1)

Did you all hear about her tweet about if only people who had all 4 grandparents born here could vote then trump would win all 50 states.

This was obviously aimed towards Hispanics and Asians, but she forgot to realize that trump wouldn't be able to vote nor would his kids. I would also venture to bet that a lot of white people over 60 (many of his voters) may not be able to vote either due to the immigration of a lot of European citizens during the late 19th century/early 20th century

There is something familiar about this idea, oh yes:


The Nuremberg Laws, as they became known, did not define a "Jew" as someone with particular religious beliefs. Instead, anyone who had three or four Jewish grandparents was defined as a Jew, regardless of whether that individual identified himself or herself as a Jew or belonged to the Jewish religious community. Many Germans who had not practiced Judaism for years found themselves caught in the grip of Nazi terror. Even people with Jewish grandparents who had converted to Christianity were defined as Jews.

I hope she can take the time off, reflect on the loss and repudiation of her veltenshang and get the trachial shave she so desperately needs to pass.

And fortunately for the rest of us, that would increase the share of the African American vote. Because something Coulter and others like her are prone to forget, most African Americans have a much longer familial tie to this country than so many white Americans who are descended from the mass migrations of the 19th and 20th centuries.

3/5 concept. You get a 1/4 vote for each grandparent. Trump himself would still be 0 for 4.

What about Florida and the anti-Castro Cubans? Buh Bye Carnival Cruz and Little Marco.

I wouldn't be able to vote under her rule. This is WHY we need to make sure someone like Trump never becomes president.
