Dear Ann Coulter: Just say you only want white people to vote

At the core of Coulter’s tweet is the idea that, somehow, those who’ve been in the United States longer know or care more about the country. Well, no, it isn’t. At the core of her tweet is that Coulter is annoyed that nonwhite voters are mostly not supporting her chosen candidate, and that a surge in the Hispanic vote could be the reason for his defeat.

She doesn’t care if older-generation, more-likely-to-be-white Americans know more about the basic civics and history of the United States. Why do I say that? Well, in 2008, for example, Trump himself was asked what the 13 stripes on the flag represented, and drew a blank.

Of course, his mother was an immigrant, so I guess that sort of proves her point.
