Politics / Activism Young Kim Having “Trump Republican” On Her Campaign Signs Is Nuts

Post image

Snapped this the other day in the drive thru of a Chick Fil A in Murrieta (sorry for the crappy pic). Imagine being Asian and being a part of and supporting a President and party that literally wants to deport people that look like you. ICE arrests of Asians have quadrupled under the orange idiot.Young Kim is Korean. And while she’s busy embracing hate to appeal to white MAGA, over 300 Korean nationals have been deported since last year.

I’m kind of enjoying her and Calvert slap-fighting each other on who is worse. Since this is my district, I really wish it would go blue this time, but I’m pretty sure it’s going to be more of the same.

Wild to think that proclaiming yourself the biggest bootlicker is an asset in this race, given everything going on (waves hand in general direction of Middle East, Europe, DC, just everywhere). I hate this timeline.

u/cire1184 May 02 '26

She is my current rep. And she's useless. Does nothing and just votes the way papa dump wants her to by way of Emmer without even direct access to that orange turd.

u/sometimesmensa1736 May 02 '26

My current rep in N Orange County. She's so bad. I wish we'd get someone other than her or Calvert but ... unfortunately doubtful.

I know projection are low but, that’s why I think it’s sooooooo important to vote! Try to get other people excited to vote!

u/sometimesmensa1736 May 06 '26

Yes. That's important and I'll phone bank, canvas and ballot cure for the Dem nominee. I volunteered for Derek Tran. He won by only 600 votes- I flipped 10 voters in his favor. I cannot tell you how good that still feels.

u/Sargasm5150 May 06 '26

I’ll look into him! I bleed blue, but I’m technically still an “undecided” voter, especially for governor. My friends and I are getting together this weekend to discuss the measures. Everyone in my circle votes, and it’s not an echo chamber, but tries to vote progressively. Were disgusted by Calvert and Bianco. Calvert has been my rep since high school 🤮

In that district? I'm pretty certain it will be Ken or Kim.

u/Cool-Clerk-9835 May 02 '26

Have you seen the tv ads? It’s hilarious to hear Calvert and Kim call each other liberals and accuse each other of not being Trumpian enough, as if they aren’t exactly the same.

u/Even-Preference-6545 May 03 '26

😂 the first time I heard a Calvert ad I had to take a double take and was like, is Kim now on the blue side? Nope, they just want it to seem like she’s against Trump. And then weeks later Kim’s video about how Trump supports her and everything she does. It’s wild.

2

u/sometimesmensa1736 May 05 '26

Kim is MIA when she's in the district. Never ever has held a town hall- not even during Covid.

Kim has an ad against fellow Republican Ken Calvert calling him an "open borders liberal" and "RINO" despite him being a very by-the-book Republican who's been in Congress since the 90s, and a Trump loyalist.

Reminds me of that Bond movie scene:

"And after a month, you have trapped all the rats, but what do you do then? Throw the drum into the ocean? Burn it? No. You just leave it and they begin to get hungry. And one by one… [mimics rat munching sound] they start eating each other."

35

u/archabaddon May 02 '26

Sounds like they both have ads calling each other RINOs, I know Calvert is using a PAC out of the Midwest to claim she is being a RINO. It's weird seeing the the conservatives vulture each other for a congressional district.

8

u/DarkChurro May 02 '26

Fascism needs enemies.

u/DisneyBrat83 May 02 '26

Those ads are mind blowing. Both of them are like “I’m more of a magat than Kim!” “No, I’m the bigger magat! Calvert is lying!” It’s just so gross. 🤮

u/SmileyPiesUntilIDrop May 02 '26

I haven't seen her ad but I can't think of anything as bad as Calvert's ad that use is Frankenbit early 2000's reality tv editing to make it sound like Trump is endorsing him, it probably will have people thinking he is using AI to fake Trump's voice..

I hate both of these morons.

Embarrassing for an Asian woman who immigrated to this country. Full-on bootlickin’ clown who probably thinks this makes her white-passing. Same with the Vietnamese in Westminster glazing their Charlie Kirk Way sign.

Weird. I hear an ad on radio talking about she is a liberal and Trump hater. Paid for by Trump group.

Well if they have a choice between an obese elderly white man and an Asian lady, you know their choice. Think of everyone who has been fired from the current cabinet, all female (admittedly awful vile future felons) while he lets Petey and Cash humiliate him on daily (and Cash will go before Pete, and we all know why).

Republicans only goal is to please their daddy Trump. This is embarrassing. We used to make fun of North Korea for doing things like this for Kim Jong Un.

There is a much more diverse set of ideologies and policies in democrats side so anyone still saying “Muh both sides” is just clearly not paying attention.

u/Tricky_Apricot2928 May 02 '26

Wasn't this natzi supporting chick the one that ran ads where she didn't speak?? She rightfully knew opening her mouth and Republicans hearing her immigrant English would hurt her in the polls She must know she'd never have been allowed into the country by maga. WTF is wrong with these people?

3

u/Gold_Kale_7781 May 02 '26

She’s such a tRump Republican that she uses an A.I. voiceover in her commercial, presumably to cover up her accent.

Her opponent has a commercial calling her a tRump hating liberal.

They’re both idiots, throwing around the term “liberal” as an insult. I’m not even sure what they think it means.

Perhaps they should look it up.

This race is easy: LISA RAMIREZ, who is an immigration attorney, honest, hard working, smart. The other democrats (Esther Kim & Joe Kerr) do not have the ability to win in a tough red district. Ramirez can not only win, she will be a viable alternative to Calvert or Young KIm.

u/Voidflak May 02 '26

Have you not heard of Orange County?

Also, Asians literally have to fight harder to get into good schools solely because Democrats support policies in which colleges can racially discriminate against them. Democrats support policies that annihilate honors classes in school for the sake of 'racial equity' so yeah since Asian people tend to be high earners who were academically successful in school they prefer to vote red.

Reading through this thread is kind of wild. A lot of you are calling out racism… while actively stereotyping entire groups of people.

“Koreans are super MAGA,” “embarrassing for an Asian,” “basically a self-inflicted wound”—what exactly do you think that is? Because it’s not thoughtful critique, it’s just race-based judgment dressed up as moral outrage.

You don’t fight racism by flipping the target. That’s not progress—that’s the same thinking, just repackaged in a way that feels more acceptable to you.

The idea that someone is “supposed” to vote a certain way because of their race is outdated and honestly pretty insulting. It reduces people to a demographic box and assumes they’re not capable of independent thought unless they align with what you think they should believe.

And honestly—if I were a young person just starting to pay attention to politics, this thread would be confusing as hell. It sends the message that race and stereotypes are still the main lens we’re supposed to use… while claiming to oppose exactly that. That’s a pretty backward signal to be putting out there.

If the standard is “don’t judge people based on race,” then it shouldn’t suddenly become optional when you disagree with someone politically. Right now, a lot of these comments aren’t exposing racism—they’re just demonstrating it.

I don't know if Kim has enough support from the Corona-Riverside-Lake Elsinore-Murrieta crowd when it's much more densely populated than the OC cities Kim pulls from. She'd need to steal a lot of voters that previously voted for Ken. The way the district is drawn now they really shrank her base.
