This can't be real. I mean . . it very much can be real, but c'mon. Somebody's just fucking with us right
Republican ideology natural selects dipshit
Latin America. What else are the gonna speak?
America-n, dumbass
(/s)
Oh absolutely. I can see it happening for sure. But did it? Is this real?
I'm thinking it's not. Just a goof being presented as a real thing.
As somebody far enough from any America, I got a few healthy recreational grunting laughs from this.
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.
Oh its possible, sure. But is it real or a prank?
The fact that we have to ask is scary enough
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.
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.
You do have a few Saint-Petersburgs, right? And Athens? And Cairos?
Similar to Russia then.
Similar to Russia then.
Still similar to Russia.
The problem is I can see it being real and I can see it being put up by either campaign
Democrats are much more likely to have a Spanish speaker on staff at all levels. They are a more diverse bunch. Republicans, many from southern states will speak some Spanish, more so than northern white democrats. But, they are more likely to he a white only staff at each level, so nobody would pick up on it.
This is part of the reason diversity is important. It will be self evident to some people that things are not right, whereas those in a different world won't even notice.
Whoever put the sign up, all it did was confuse the shit out of anyone who knows at least one romance language.
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
I see the couch memes as an extension of "I can see Russia from my house" memes.
