If you were told by a MAGAt to leave if you don't like it, how would you respond?

[alwaysinasnit]

My response would go something like this; "If you didn't think America was great when you voted in Nov/2016, why didn't you leave then?

[redstatebluegirl]

1. They would not do it to me, but if I saw it, I would address it as racist nonsense.

I am sure it would put me in danger where I live but I don't care. I had the Klan in front of my house in Indiana, I'm fearless.

[alwaysinasnit]

3. You go girl!

[LiberalFighter]

79. What part of Indiana?

North, Central, or South?

[redstatebluegirl]

117. Central.

[misanthrope]

2. Give a little laugh and smile then walk off silently like I heard the ranting of a child

Oblivion is what they deserve.

[alwaysinasnit]

7. How very adult of you.

[misanthrope]

11. I'm too old to waste more time on fools

The more hours you put behind, the quicker the ones before you pass.

[alwaysinasnit]

15. Very sage.

[JI7]

8. exactly

[Skittles]

4. I'd ask them if they truly believe in Freedom of Speech

if they do, why does it not apply to these four gals?

[alwaysinasnit]

10. You will leave them scratching their heads.

[LakeArenal]

35. (Not my opinion)

“Cuz we’re ‘Merkins an they ain’t.”

They really do believe his shit.

[JI7]

5. it would be to react to them as the joke they are. laugh at them

[alwaysinasnit]

12. Yup, they don't like to be laughed at.

[Moostache]

6. Laugh directly in their face

Then double over like I was going to fall out before walking away.
They HATE being mocked and laughed at more than anything.

[alwaysinasnit]

13. +1000

[JI7]

16. yup, i keep saying this. their bs deserves mockery.

[wasupaloopa]

9. If I don't like it my friends and I will fix it.

[alwaysinasnit]

14. We have that in common.

[drray23]

17. With words I cant write here.

And then I would wait for them to dare to take a swing at me. I have no patience anymore for magat assholes.

[alwaysinasnit]

19. I'm hear you.

[samnsara]

18. give a nancy pelosi mother clap

[alwaysinasnit]

21. Yeah, they would hate to be mocked.

[Pachamama]

50. +1000

That is a great response

[OregonBlue]

107. Perfect. Just smile nicely, shaking your head and say, "isn't that just precious"

and walk away chuckling.

Or maybe just give them the Nancy "Bless your heart".

[gordianot]

20. Strange thing has happened to me in old age.

I very often say what I think. I can guarantee I would not initiate such a conversation when it comes to Trumpsters I have no sense of humor.

[alwaysinasnit]

23. I guess that you have no more patience left to deal with them?

[onenote]

22. This is what I'd say:

Sorry. I'm staying. We're all staying. And when we regain control of the government -- and we will -- we'll enjoy watching you leave.

[alwaysinasnit]

24. You might leave them speechless.

[TlalocW]

25. My response

Make me... if you dare, cupcake.

TlalocW

[alwaysinasnit]

26. I'd love to be there to see that, especially when you say "cupcake."

[TlalocW]

39. Most of the people saying this are... toxic males... let's be honest

With an overly inflated sense of machismo. They're not going to see logic so or respond to speeches about freedom of speech, etc. so I don't waste my time. Calling them cupcake or pumpernickel, and saying things like, "Aren't you just precious?" either deflates them or further enrages them.

Either is fine with me.

TlalocW

[TreasonousBastard]

27. I was told that often in the '70s and generally just walked away, sometimes with a snarky comment...

But now I'm thinking more like a left hook.

[alwaysinasnit]

30. Yeah, I would like to do that too except that if I were try it, I might hurt myself instead of them.

[MuseRider]

116. It isn't like this is original

or anything. We were thrown out of places for having beads and long hair (men only on that one). Somehow just what we wore was enough to set them in freak out mode.

America love it or leave it.

[CTyankee]

28. A roll of my eyes and "Well, that's BORING."

[alwaysinasnit]

32. That should should deflate their pretensions.

[TalenaGor]

29. "then you should have left long ago"

[alwaysinasnit]

33. They not have the smarts to figure out your meaning.

[uponit7771]

31. Americans stay and make it better, Russians run like cowards

[alwaysinasnit]

34. Yeah, I've seen shirts that say something like "I'd rather be a Russian than a Democrat."

[ellie]

36. I would say, Where?

Back to Ohio?

[alwaysinasnit]

37. Excellent.

[guillaumeb]

38. I have called them racists, and white supremacists.

One recently asked my why I called him that, and I responded that he was white, and speaking like a supremacist.

He seemed surprised.

[alwaysinasnit]

41. Maybe they are not used to intelligent responses.

[guillaumeb]

43. They did vote for Trump.

So I agree on that one.

[Atticus]

40. "Since you are obviously a Trump supporter, I'll use small words and speak very slowly:

KISS. MY. ASS!"

[alwaysinasnit]

42. Oh Yes!

[DonaldsRump]

44. As mentioned in something I posted just now, MAGA itself is criticizing the USA

Think about it...Trump based his whole campaign on this phrase.

MAGATs are hypocrites of the highest order.

[alwaysinasnit]

46. And yet they don't see the irony.

[DonaldsRump]

48. Absolutely. The Donald just doesn't like any criticizing anything he does

That's the message that needs to get out there. He's the archetypal snowflake!

[liberalguilt57]

45. I would fart in their general direction.

I would fart in their general direction.
If they had ever said something like that to my hard-working immigrant grandparents, I would’ve done a lot worse.

[alwaysinasnit]

47. They would definitely understand your meaning (thanks for the Monty Python).

[mcar]

49. You first

[alwaysinasnit]

53. +1000

[Blue_true]

51. Good answer. Maybe you should say before you voted,

If things were so bad under President Obama, the MAGATS should have long decamped. The problem was that NO ONE would have taken them if they tried.

[alwaysinasnit]

55. Yeah, that occurred to me after I posted my invitation. Good catch.

[jberryhill]

52. "Sir, this is a Wendy's"

[alwaysinasnit]

56. They would probably look at you all cross-eyed, and most definitely discombobulated.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

54. I would say....I have no desire to go back to Cleveland, Ohio

I like it here, actually.

[alwaysinasnit]

57. Wouldn't it be funny if they were from Cleveland, OH?

[ProudMNDemocrat]

118. Coz that is where I am from. Yes indeed.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

58. "The founding fathers didn't like it-- why didn't THEY leave?"

[alwaysinasnit]

59. Yup, they (the founders) stayed to make it better.

[crazytown]

74. The founding fathers? ding ding ding

I know the answer to that. The founding fathers couldn't leave. The TSA found the muskets.

[haele]

60. Why should I when they're so unhappy with the idea of a United States,

They're willing to rip up the Constitution and give the country to the Russian Mob just because Faux news tells them to.
They're the ones who want to trade a Country for a Country Club.

Haele

[alwaysinasnit]

62. Yup, they want to make it the White States of America.

[Raven123]

61. I don't know. I might say, "I can't go because I have bone spurs."

Although I might say, “Someone has to clean up after the MAGAts.”

Most likely I would say something like, “ I’m sorry. You must have me confused with a Trump voter.”

[alwaysinasnit]

64. Damn, they are all good responses.

[Pathwalker]

63. Funny, you don't look like a native American. If you were,

you'd have a point. But no. Oh, and the sixties are calling - and they want your tired old insults back.

[alwaysinasnit]

65. Excellent.

[uberblonde]

66. I would tell them my family was here first.

They came in the early 1700s, and one of my ancestors died from his wounds in the Civil War.

"So f*ck off."

[alwaysinasnit]

72. +1000

[ProudLib72]

67. "Well, I love my country, and I'm not a racist like you...

... If I were a racist like you, then I might feel differently, but I'm not a racist like you."

Then leave laughing loudly.


That gets them two ways: They hate being called out on their racism, and they hate being laughed at.

[alwaysinasnit]

73. Yup, you hit them with both barrels.

[Phentex]

131. I like this!

[DBoon]

68. "change it or lose it"

nt

[alwaysinasnit]

75. I don't think they would know how to respond, which would be a good thing.

[DBoon]

82. That was our response when Nixon was president

old guy here

[alwaysinasnit]

84. Yeah, I remember that dirtbag too, but now he looks like a boy scout compared to that shitstain in

the Oval Office.

[Downtown Hound]

69. I would just laugh at them and tell them to fucking make me

And then I'd follow it up with, "I like fucking with you assholes too much to leave."

[alwaysinasnit]

77. Well said.

[alwaysinasnit]

78. I am howling with laughter.

[GoCubsGo]

71. I'll be needed to help clean up Dear Leader's disaster when he's gone.

Hopefully, sooner, rather than later. I look forward to seeing him and his parasite children in orange jumpsuits, being frog-marched off to prision. Or, do you think Pootie Poot will offer them assylum?

[alwaysinasnit]

80. That's right; Dems always seem to clean up after Repukes. And, no, Pootie won't want 'em as they

would be of no use anymore. Oh, and all the tRumps would look marvelous in orange jumpsuits.

[Raine]

76. Would never happen

bcause I don't talk to MAGA's.

[alwaysinasnit]

81. I don't blame you.

[GulfCoast66]

83. Yeah, well, ya know. That just like your opinion, man!

In reality no one is saying that to a pretty big white guy like me.

Now, I will have a different answer if I hear it said to someone else!

[alwaysinasnit]

86. That's great, offering yourself as a moral bodyguard.

[GulfCoast66]

89. Remember, nuances are often missed in typed communication.

Or maybe I’m just just slow. But I don’t get your point.

No one is going to tell a white guy to go back. Its one of the many unrealized privileges people like me get.

But if I heard it said to someone I would speak up. What decent person in my position would not? Unless of course it was at work. In which case I would call HR and they would be terminated.

But I’m still not clear in your meaning. Perhaps you are a subtle writer? A gift seldom seen or recognized.

[alwaysinasnit]

91. Sorry about that, I meant it as a compliment and encouragement to speak out and defend

people who are verbally attacked.

[GulfCoast66]

94. Thanks for the clarification.

I really think he crossed a line, however the results are going to be slow to develop. But he finally said something that would get the average person fired. That going to leave a mark.

We always say he emboldens them, and it’s true. But not to say anything that could cost them if repeated. I mean in campaigning. The whole ‘grab them’ thing was an old recording.

But many of those people chanting ‘Send them back’ would be fired at their workplace for saying the same to a coworker. And I bet many of them are fearful a co-worker will see them chanting it at the rally and tip of their HR department.

Because sure as shit, where I work if you tell an immigrant employee to go back home your getting your walking papers.

And also sure as shit, I hear some peckerwood telling a person of color to Go Back I’m saying something. I was never a soldier and am not particularly brave, but you have to draw a line somewhere.

[alwaysinasnit]

95. Thank you for that.

[Initech]

85. Just tell them that everyone is illegal on stolen land.

Guaranteed that they have no comeback for that.

[alwaysinasnit]

87. Excellent.

[AllaN01Bear]

88. this is what i would tell them. a post to a similar question asked on another thread.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=12277518

[alwaysinasnit]

92. You're right, got your roots here So. Cal. neighbor (I'm in No. Cal.).

[Humanist_Activist]

90. "Hell no, then I'd be subject to US foreign policy and that's a worse clusterfuck." n/t

[alwaysinasnit]

93. You are soooooo right. And the MAGAts wouldn't even know what you are talking about.

[BigBearJohn]

96. I'd tell them to eat shit and die.

[alwaysinasnit]

97. Short, and to the point. I like it.

[rockfordfile]

98. What from a bunch of un-American pos like them? Tell them to get on the first ship to Russia

[alwaysinasnit]

99. I like it. If it were me, I might even offer to pay for a one-way ticket.

[lame54]

100. No thanks. I'll stay where gay marriage and abortion is legal.

[alwaysinasnit]

103. And they truly are working hard to change that. Just means we have to work even harder to keep

those protections.

[lame54]

120. It's what they don't like about America...

And according to them

Time to leave

[EveHammond13]

101. "go home and polish your swastika"

[alwaysinasnit]

104. Great response.

[RandySF]

102. I only need a finger for that.

[alwaysinasnit]

105. Ah yes, the silent one-finger salute. Very efficient communication.

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

106. I would not speak to that.

.

[ecstatic]

108. What I hope I'd say is:

My ancestors built this f*cking country! Why don't YOU leave, you racist piece of shit!?

I don't think magats can be reasoned with.

[Frustratedlady]

109. Tell that to an American Indian. They are the only true souls of the U.S.

and they might just give YOU an earful.

[Doreen]

110. Yes, a couple of times. I looked them in the eyes

and told them if they pay my way to Germany and support me while I am there then I will leave. For some odd reason they get quiet and maby softly mumble. I think they might realize that if they can not afford anything because of their crappy part time minimum wage job how do they expect me to afford it?

Maybe someone else has a better idea why what I say shuts them up.

[JustAnotherGen]

111. Tell them to set up

A Go Fund Me and put their wallet where their racism is. You want me gone?

Pay up ya cheap bastard!

[HockeyMom]

112. Which One?

Dad's family came from England and Ireland. Mom's family from Italy.

[quaker bill]

113. I have been hearing during every republican admin since Nixon

I have always said no, sometimes more firmly and less politely.

[maptap22]

114. I tell them I served in the military for 15 years

and ask them how many years they laced up combat boots.

Shuts them up every time.

[sanatanadharma]

115. I like my home, but want home improvements

Home is where the heart is and you are clearly homeless!

[Dirty Socialist]

119. I would say

"I think I'll stay - just to piss you off!"

[NewJeffCT]

121. ask them if they move if their home has a leaky roof

or do they stay and get the roof fixed?

[Iggo]

122. With sign language. (n/t)

[liberaltrucker]

123. The 1970's just called...

they want their bullshit slogans back.

[whistler162]

124. Welcome them back to the country

and ask them which country they moved to from January 2009 to January 2017 and how they liked it.

[tazkcmo]

125. I'll stay and fight, thank you. nt

[femmedem]

126. I would say that was one of the most unAmerican things I've ever heard anyone say. n/t

[Ohiogal]

127. "For the same reason

you didn’t leave when Obama was President.”

[BlueStater]

128. I'll tell them that they haven't a clue what patriotism actually is.

It's not blind allegiance to your country and ignoring its faults.

[CrispyQ]

129. "Your side wear tee shirts that read, 'I'd rather be a Russian than a Democrat,' so move to Russia.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

130. Tell them people that think like Democrats have been in America far longer than....

those that think like Rethugs, so get your ass packing......

Not to mention that such an idea violates the principles of our Constitution.......

KY.....

[keithbvadu2]

132. Many thousands (millions?) of republicans are wearing red hats that say America is not great.

Many thousands (millions?) of republicans are wearing red hats that say America is not great.

In great big letters.
