Mom Falls For ‘Ilhan Omar Meme’ That Her Child Sent, And People Are Saying It’s The Best Way To Troll Trump Supporters
Political divides seem to have widened since the presidential election, and that divide sometimes comes down through families. Despite growing up in the same household, kids and parents don’t always share the same beliefs on political parties’ actions, and not everyone is shy about making their opinion heard.
Minnesota congresswoman Ilhan Omar has been one of the new politicians that have caused a stir since her election. Whether people love her or hate her, she has remained one of the names in the headlines. U.S President Donald Trump is not so fond of the congresswoman and recently targeted Omar on her American citizenship status, religion, and ethnicity. Someone decided to challenge their mom’s political alignment by trolling her with a political meme featuring a quote believed to be from congresswoman Omar, and it teaches a much bigger lesson.

People thought the idea was hilariously clever
President Trump has falsely alleged that congresswoman Omar supported terrorist group al-Qaeda; said she “smeared” US servicemen who fought in Somalia in the 1990s; and contributed to disinformation that she committed immigration fraud by marrying her brother. At a Trump rally in North Carolina earlier this month, his supporters erupted into cries of “send her back,” perpetuating the idea that she is less of an American citizen because she was not born in the country. In response to the smear campaign, Omar has continues to receive ardent support from both her district members and otherwise.
Many Americans say the creation and spread of fake news and misinformation are causing significant harm to the nation and need to be stopped, according to a new Pew Research Center survey of 6,127 U.S. adults. Nearly seven-in-ten U.S. adults (68%) say false news and information significantly impacts Americans’ confidence in government institutions, and roughly half (54%) say it is having a significant impact on our belief in each other. The free singles out two groups of people as the primary sources of false news: political leaders and activist groups. Close to six-in-ten U.S. adults (57%) say political leaders and their staff create a lot of false stories, and about half (53%) say the same thing of activist groups.
though you all now got Boris Johnson, who is like a more British Trump. In fairness he was only elected by Tories not the citizenry ( though Trump lost the popular vote too). Hope you all can get him out quick

i agree! I'm sorry people are downvoting you for wanting a positive view they should be ashamed!
Load More Replies...People pull this trick on both sides. The whole point isn't to trick, its to expose people for NOT doing their due diligence and researching for themselves to find the facts and then come to a stance based on personal research and learning. Too many people on both sides blindly follow. I use to be that way too until some things didnt add up. I researched and many of the studies, findings, historical accounts actually changed my stance on who I supported. My morals and values have always been consistent but what I thought was reality was changed based on the facts. Everyone should do this to be able to say their support aligns with their morals and ethical values.
Duh Alpha Puck, if you go back far enough there were only bacteria churning in the primordial sea, but at some point it becomes ridiculous to take the point to its farthest extreme. Plus "human life" as you say had its beginnings in the Great Rift area of Africa where hominids evolved from the great apes, it was agriculture that began between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Or is that "liberal vomit." Maybe it is you who should do some knowledging up, your attempts to sound erudite are sad not to mention inaccurate. The only thing you seem to be good at is labeling (wait don't liberals do that?) and hating. Sad sad sad. Read a book.

You could of put a list of some of her antisemitic quotes, or her saying the 9/11 terrorists were some people who did a thing, or about the ongoing scandal of her possibly marrying her biological brother to commit immigration fraud while already being married to her childrens father.... each party plays this game every election cycle to show how blindly aligned people become...
The people saying "if you don't like our country, you should leave" are the same people telling immigrants that if they don't like their country they should stay and fix it.
I try to think to myself, what are the intellectual arguments in favor of trump? What do intellectuals think? What do scientists think? There seems to be no intellectual argument on the right. It's baffling to me. How can anybody support this vile, immoral, racist, misogynistic, spoiled, buffoonish, deeply ignorant, entitled prick?
Intellectuals and scientists are not political Gods. Why on earth would you think their opinion is the most important? Why do you also think that name calling is effective? Socrates has a famous quote that addresses you perfectly.

I was a hillary supporter until I did more research. Turns out I was voting for a label instead of my ethics and values.
Load More Replies...So Tyler, Alpha and other members of the cult, How are things going for you? Do you have a big fat high paying manufacturing job that came back to the U.S., get a big fat tax refund did you, happy that we're no longer in foreign wars and we have a big ugly concrete wall along the southern border. Despite the fact that North Korea is testing new missiles and we're saber rattling with Iran Trumpie will no doubt win that Nobel Prize. Especially after that wonderfully hilarious speech Trumpie gave at the United Nations where world leaders laughed out loud at him, he didn't expect that but they were laughing WITH him. Nepotism is at an all time wonderful high and now, finally, we have a president who listens to Kim Kardashian. I'm sure Trumpie will get around to draining the swamp, after he fills it chock full of idiots, but gosh, he's running out of those. Bring the Scaramoochie back!! We have that sooo much better health insurance plan, infrastructure, lets talk infrastructure!!!
I didn't even see this one because you couldn't figure out how to reply to the correct thread but here we go! I do have a rather lucrative manufacturing job that expanded after Trump (look up Merritt Woodwork). I did get a large tax refund (my refund was 8% of my wages). I am happy Trump is working to pull out the troops from the middle east (I have 3 brothers in the USMC). North Korea is slowly coming towards peace (look at the #s on missile testing during Obama vs Trump). The UN is a s**t show. They just singled out Israel as a violator of women's rights and did nothing to call out countries where women are mutilated. Kim Kardashian has done more for prison reform than anyone in the last 50 years. I couldn't care less about her social life, but mad props to her on this. I have no idea what Scaramoochie is. My health insurance premiums when way down while covering more preventative care. Roads are usually s****y so thats nothing new.

Emory Griffter, interesting that you accuse me of divisive rancor while simultaneously spewing about the vile left. Projection and hypocrisy. But even you deserve a better president than Trump.
Rather than responding to "send them back" can we instead say "Plow him under?"
There's a difference between questioning the policies of your government. Then theres' Suicide Squad flat out inciting Anti-American rhetoric. Democrats need to find their way back, because this is what got Trump elected in the 1st place. The extremes of both sides fighting. Everyone else is caught in the middle.
They aren't anti-american , they are anti-Trump's hateful stupid policies. How about Trump inciting hate and racism???
Load More Replies...So, Americans, does it look like this is going to continue? Here they say Trump has surprisingly many supporters in the USA and a re-election could indeed be possible. Like not too far from 50-50? I will never understand how this happened in the first place.
What do you not understand or what are you unsure about?
Load More Replies...BTW these work the complete opposite what, I mean there is a whole youtube channel (campus reform) taking Obama and other democrat quotes, saying it is trump, getting their reaction and then informing them who actually said it.

I dont know why BP had to make it a one way anti-trump supporter thing, they should have done a balanced showing both sides are the same way
This bum will pay for you chicanery she was deceitful and lied about marrying her brother she will be charged with bigamy tax fraud excepting government funds for college for her and fer broth by fraud oh it's going to get juicy with this loud mouth hateful ignoramus she ssys the white man is the one to beware of she us corr4the white men from the justice department are her worst nightmare she is going to jail this loudmouth bastard

It's the only way he can win, through hate and fear.
Load More Replies...I haven't downvoted anything because I don't know much about this woman, but everything you said could apply just as easily to Trump. Everything that he's "accomplished" is either backwards progress (e.g. shutting down the government, repealing the ACA, removing federal funding from local & overseas organizations for sexual health) or is him taking credit for things he didn't do. Name one positive thing he has actually contributed to the US or the world.
