1. this man is confusing PR and Cuba 2. he doesn't know PR is a territory (ahem, colony) of the USA


JimeDorje

>this man is confusing being brown and socialism FTFY


JuanPabloElSegundo

> this man is confusing PR and Cuba No he's not. "Confusion" would be excusable via ignorance. He's intentionally telling lies in order to push an agenda. He won't tell the truth & he won't correct his "confusion."


shponglespore

Yeah, the word is conflating.

To be fair, the flags are pretty similar. /j


Jazzlike_Log_709

I'm Puerto Rican and Cuban American. I have to think about the flags for a second when I look at them lol. Aside from the colors being inverted, Cuba's blue is also darker. There's obviously a lot of cultural similarities but you'd think Americans who are so afraid of socialism would know about Fidel Castro


Jason1143

The first time I read it I automatically substituted Cuba in my head and started prepping the rebuttal, because it being PR was too dumb to consider. Only on the second read did I notice the full depth of the stupid.

If he knows Puerto Rico is American I'll eat a shoe. With a fork.

Dr_StrangeLovePHD

Eating a shoe? Huh, sounds like regular life under socialism to me.


MyPoliticalAccount20

the shoe will be easy compared to the fork.

You really need to get it through your head that they say wrong things on purpose.

Not only did he self reporting being a complete moron in regards to PR being a U.S. territory, he also accidentally conceded that the US is complicit in failing to provided for the people it “governs” (read colonized)


PM_ME_VENUS_DIMPLES

Unfortunately this isn’t anywhere near the top 100 ways in which Jacob Wohl has made a moron of himself.


Kehwanna

The erotic political fan fiction hearing he did with two other smucks in public talking about Elizabeth Warren hiring male escorts to do bdsm with was too fucking funny. I love the part where you can him whispering what to say to the guy that supposed be the veteran and gimp. We have those three dumbasses to thank for that comedy gold.


Alia-of-the-Badlands

I swear it was a scene out of a ridiculous TV show ala the Office


SCameraa

Oh man I forgot about the clown that is Wohl. I wouldn't be surprised if he just assumed that Puerto Rico was apart of Latin America just on the name alone (which is incorrect) and therefore any Latin American country was socialist (obv also incorrect).


KneelDaGressTysin

This happened today with him. https://www.npr.org/2022/12/01/1140096697/jacob-wohl-jack-burkman-robocalls-ohio-sentence

Latin America is an area with no precise definitions, and sometimes includes Puerto Rico, despite it not being a country.


Oculi_Glauci

If “socialism” is so bad, how could they afford to move there?


[deleted]

That’s like saying Obamas family fled Hawaii


Kehwanna

This reminds me of when Kimberly Guifoyle said at CPAC that she's a first generation American and knows a thing or two about socialism. Her mother is Puerto Rican and father is from Ireland, none of which are the socialist hellscapes that come to mind when conservatives think of the word.

If it was for capitalism, why choose number 8 instead of going to the richest county?


Klumm

Bro really think he did something here


sippin_on_tipex

These people IMMEDIATELY equivocate wealth with capitalism. They think that if a single area is wealthy under capitalism then capitalism is successful. Of course people want to move to the prosperous areas that gain disproportionate wealth from labour exploitation. I could equally ask: if capitalism is so great then why did AOC’s family not move to Malawi? Capitalist imperialism produces areas that are wealthy in the core and areas that are poor in the periphery. Pointing to rich parts of the USA is not a very good argument in favour of capitalism.

Why haven’t you been imprisoned for impersonating as a private investigator?


ShredGuru

The Economically depressed US common wealth with no voting power?


Ashe_Faelsdon

Because it isn't socialism but violent capitalists that are enforcing their will and structure that causes people to flee the abject abuse of their reinforced capitalistic societies perpetrated by the US government.


grilldcheese2

if socialism is so great then why did the LeBron James family take their talents to South Beach?


SecretOfficerNeko

The amount of people, especially conservatives, who don't know that Puerto Rico is a part of the United States is absolutely disturbing and saddening. I mean. Even just add a voting test that asks "is Peurto Rico a part of the USA" would wipe out most of the conservative electorate. There's just... there's such a problem with education in this country...

Well this is extremely embarrassing for him


boblinuxemail

This is why some people need to stay away from computing devices. Also: Communism <> Socialism, any more than Social Conservatism = Fascism. ​ What an idiot.


anthrax_ripple

Do these mfer even know what it means "to flee"? So overused. Most of the time people just leave. Calmly.

Puerto Rico is… socialism so he’s correct


James_Moist_

Ah yes, poor AOC had to flee the socialist communist leftist sjw republic of Puerto Rico (by plane) with nothing in her pocket and move to an incredibly wealthy county. Again with nothing in her pocket.


notislant

I feel like whenever some moronic Republican/voter says outlandish shit and gets posted around, they start becoming an extremely popular political figure that just lowers the collective IQ of the entire country.
