What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.

Why do Democrats call any Republican "Magats", like they are subhuman?

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.

If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:

“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.

Is the Philippines PH a poor 3rd world or 4th world country forever and forever?

“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.
