Just fucking do it, or do you agree with him that your island is a floating pile of trash?
These idiots are so terrified that if Trump takes power, their heads will be on the chopping block for standing up to him… Grow a pair already and do what’s right for the country! No more of this “Stop or I’ll say stop again” bullshit.
Yeah… plenty of Republicans already did that. They got voted out or kicked out.
There are a few tough holdouts like Murkowski (Alaskan Senator), but the mass extinction already happened.
Murkowski voted with trump plenty
Sure, but the litmus test is “was the 2020 election stolen?”, that’s the yes/no that determines whether you are suitably loyal. Very simple, very effective.
Murkowski actually voted to convict him.
Yeah, and we’re going to see more of her fighting with Trump (if he wins) because she could be the tie-breaker vote now:

Zoom in: Collins and Murkowski will be two of only three GOP senators left who voted to convict Trump in an impeachment trial. Neither have endorsed him this year, and they haven’t shied away from criticism.
We wouldn’t see any fighting Donald because she is a Repub. They are all in collusion under the Federalist Society.
She and Collins have already had spats with Trump. They voted to convict him, just to start. And if Trump gets in office, you can bet there will be a whole lot more.
Susan “he’s learned his lesson” Collins?
If they don’t do it Trump is going to throw them under the bus anyway. Do they really want to be on the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party?
Well the calculus is that their endorsement doesn’t matter anyway, and they’re kinda right. Honestly nothing negative about Trump moves the needle at all.
Trump Puerto Ricans do agree the place is a trash island. They just think it’s the fault of the ‘others’. They thinkTrump sees the problems and will fix things for the ‘good ones’ like themselves.
They do not see that they are part of Trumps ‘bad ones’
To wit:
These idiots are so terrified that if Trump takes power
It seems that many people are more motivated by fear and power than by what is morally correct.

Information for Newsweek:
Wiki: reliable - There is consensus that articles from Newsweek pre-2013 are generally reliable for news covered during that time. In 2011, Newsweek was a reputable magazine with only some minor problems while it was owned by The Newsweek Daily Beast Company (which also owned The Daily Beast). Blogs under Newsweek, including The Gaggle, should be handled with the WP:NEWSBLOG policy. See also: Newsweek (2013–present).
Wiki: mixed - Unlike articles before 2013, Newsweek articles since 2013 are not generally reliable. From 2013 to 2018, Newsweek was owned and operated by IBT Media, the parent company of International Business Times. IBT Media introduced a number of bad practices to the once reputable magazine and mainly focused on clickbait headlines over quality journalism. Its current relationship with IBT Media is unclear, and Newsweek’s quality has not returned to its status prior to the 2013 purchase. Many editors have noted that there are several exceptions to this standard, so consensus is to evaluate Newsweek content on a case-by-case basis. In addition, as of April 2024, Newsweek has disclosed that they make use of AI assistance to write articles. See also: Newsweek (pre-2013).

Protip: It’s not a threat if you never have any intention of following through with it.
Not a single Trump voter changed their minds. The Trump Puerto Ricans agree with this. They just think it’s the ‘others’ fault.
This may even get them TO vote since someone sees the ‘problems’ they live with. This is how EVERY group that votes Trump against their own interest feel.
spoiler
They 100% don’t know they are included with the ‘problem’
VOTE
I can attest to you being half right based on my two Puerto Rican coworkers, both Trumpers.
One rationalized his choice by saying two things (paraphrasing his words):
-
Puerto Ricans have the same trash sentiment about Dominicans and aren’t shy about it. So since they dish it out, they should be able to take it.
-
He decided Puerto Rico is trash because the government is corrupt and pockets all the US federal funding.
It didn’t bother him that Tony Hinchcliffe, or Trump’s campaign at large has no place saying these things.
The other coworker has changed his mind and is NOT ok with the comments. It may be too late since he probably already voted; I’m not going to ask him.
-
“Threatens to” = he won’t
Coward.
Pleeeease
Oh I’m sure that will show em. You get em champ.
Dude should go a step further and push for PR statehood.
Oh no a leopard ate your face!
Honestly, fuck you, you coward.
Popcorn intensifies
Do it you coward.
The thing is, if he wins they are in trouble anyway, do they not remember the paper towels he tossed at them in a time of need last time? He has surrounded himself with nothing but fascists and racists this time around, I would be surprised if he didn’t hold aid for the next hurricane until they can “pay their fair share”.
Talking out her ass.
