There went the covfefe!How does this encourage it? Do you get an award if you learn English? Maybe a bronze card instead of a gold one?
This is the kind of performative stuff the MAGAverse sees as "getting so much done". I don't think I'd hire the MAGAverse to discern real work from busy work.
This is dumb. English is already the most spoken language in the entire world, not just in America.
Whew, with all the troubling economic news lately, I was worried Trump's laser focus on culture war issues might lessen.
What is MAGA stupid, or whatever, about having an official language?
It is not dumb to have an official language. It might be irrelevant though.
Because it's performative to virtue signal to the MAGA base. This does nothing useful.
Was my point confusing to you?I think you missed the point... why are you not saying that the other 170 or
whatever countries that have an official language are also bullshit,
or whatever your point is?
Was my point confusing to you?
It was in my post. Why do you repeat questions you already have the answers to? I'm also not sure what official languages for 170+ other countries has to do with anything since we're talking about one country in particular.Absolutely... can you explain why having an official language for 170+ countries is fine but when Trump does it, it is whatever your condemnation is?

Ok great, so at least we established that you understood what I wrote.Yeah, you said:
For starters, I'm not sure how you concluded I'm upset, but what I find more interesting is what 170 other countries did in regards to their official languages, unless they all did it at the same time Trump announced the change in the US. Was that the case? I hope so, because otherwise your claim of me being hypocritical is quite the reach.You are talking about virtue signaling and MAGA... but if MAGA or Trump are making an official language and this upsets you... why did you not become upset when the other 170 countries created or displayed their official languages? Seems kind hypocritical.

Nope. What's comical is your attempt to claim it's hypocritical because other nations have done this, while missing the subtext of why Trump is doing this. If you understood that, you wouldn't be asking this kind of question.Am I mistaken in that you think that Trump making English the Official Language of the United States is somehow negative, or MAGA or bad in some way?
The idle ignorant.More pointless virtue signalling so his MAGA cultists get the tingles.
But hey - with every campaign promise filled I guess His Majesty has a lot of free time to waste on this nonsense.

So what?That will not happen.
You were deliciously wrong.So what?
Not at all, and that shows you didn't understand my point or the context.Why are other policies the way they are about Official Languages.... that is the point. If you are not understanding or challenging any that violate certain codes, then you are being hypocritical about Trump. Right? Basic Logic.
You're on to Saudi Arabia now?Saudi Arabia has horrible humans rights violations and oppresses women and kills gays but you are not talking about them and their "Official Language". Why?
How does this even make any sense? Eggs have nothing to do with this...That should bring down the price of eggs.
Immigrants in this country are going to learn English as a matter of survival.Another bullying action aimed at non-Americans.
Only if they misgender someone. Then they should be arrested and their livelihood threatened.And this will do...what?
If I hear someone speaking Spanish or another non-English language, do I call the cops?
No.Only if they misgender someone. Then they should be arrested and their livelihood threatened.
Amiright?
In this country we must have but one flag, the American flag; but one language, the English language; and above all, but one loyalty, an exclusive and undivided loyalty to the United States, with no Lot's wife attitude, no looking back to the various old world countries from which our ancestors have severally come.This is the kind of performative stuff the MAGAverse sees as "getting so much done". I don't think I'd hire the MAGAverse to discern real work from busy work.
Other countries have multiple languages with no problem, so I'm curious about the "must" qualifier.In this country we must have but one flag, the American flag; but one language, the English language; and above all, but one loyalty, an exclusive and undivided loyalty to the United States, with no Lot's wife attitude, no looking back to the various old world countries from which our ancestors have severally come.
