    Right, MAGA probably does love it, but there are a half a million Puerto Ricans in Pennsylvania.

    A few facts for people who slept in American history. Puerto Ricans are American citizens. On the island, they cannot vote. If they live here, say, in Pennsylvania, as one example, they can.

    It’s legal immigration of a type where citizenship is already a thing. Trumpers don’t often understand that. They’ll tell Puerto Ricans to go back where they belong ignorant of the fact that they’re already Americans and already are where they belong. It’s a bizarre territory thing that they get less participation and benefits while physically living on the island.

    More Puerto Ricans live on the mainland than on the island. Florida and Pennsylvania are popular, both of which narrowly voted trump in 2016.

    It’s ok. You can do a dance of joy on the face of MAGA ignorance.
