Why offer a plane ticket?
Offering a plane ticket to Mexico, as JD Vance did, is a rhetorical device often used in political discourse. It's a provocative way to dismiss a protester and suggest they belong elsewhere, particularly when the protest relates to national identity or immigration. It aims to appeal to a specific segment of the audience and generate a strong reaction.
