With the cops needing to respond to all these threats who is guarding the animal shelter, park lakes and fluffy out on the street corner? See, the plot has to be the Haitians.

i bet you can find quotes of both Trump and Vance saying they have no problem with legal immigration when done properly (which seems to be the canned response from the right when they are accused of a racist bent to their immigration stance.) 

By all accounts this immigrant community did everything right (but you know.. don't let facts get in the way of a cynical political wedge)

Correct.  Because the old right wing "oh, we just want immigrants to follow the rules, we only have a problem with illegal immigrants" IS A GODDAMNED MOTHERFUCKING LIE AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN.  THESE FUCKHOLES ARE FULL-ON RACIST XENOPHOBIC NATIVIST EVIL ASSHOLES.  THAT'S IT.  STOP TRYING TO GIVE IT NUANCE, OR A CREDIBLE ANGLE.  THERE IS NO CREDIBLE ANGLE.

They are attaching people who are LEGALLY within this country.  Because those people are....you know.....ummm...."different."

part of the issue is how they are legally classified. Entering legally (with a visa) is usually not the case for Haitians. They cross the border illegally and then are given temporary status allowing them to remain, work, etc. Previous options without temp status was lock them up in Guantanamo.

I am not defending the right wing assholes, but the Dems should point out this system has been in place for a long ass time and that is how it works.

There was a Dotardarian at our tailgate last weekend. Politics came up briefly, in the form of “Can you believe that crazy eating pets bullshit they’re pushing?”. The Dotardarian chimed in with “Actually I heard that’s true.”

Turns out that him hearing that it’s true came from some random people on the internet saying that it’s true. These people lose their fucking minds when it comes to politics. Otherwise bright people (sometimes) just can’t process this shit rationally.

My MIL is full-blown MAGA.   This pisses my wife off to no end, but at least both make an effort to be cordial and not talk about political shit in the presence of each other, our kids, etc.

Some time ago, they veered pretty close, however.   Some kind of hard core shit you only see on Facebook that my MIL was proclaiming to be true, but it wasn't in the news "anywhere".  My wife let her rant on, then asked her how was it true?  "Because it was on the internet"!  she proclaimed.

So, my wife reminded her of what her mother used to say to her when they first had internet access in their house in the mid-90's:  "You can't believe everything on the internet, so you need to be careful".

Mother in law thought for a few moments, and came back with "But this is different".

If your friends fall for this shit, they aren’t smart people. I’m tired of hearing “but they’re very smart otherwise”

Ben Carson is a neurosurgeon with degrees from Yale and Michigan and works at Johns Hopkins and thinks pyramids are grain silos.

They may be very book smart in their field, but they’re idiots otherwise

Anyone who has ever spent a meaningful amount of time with doctors in a social setting figures out pretty quickly that their critical thinking skills are probably worse than that of the average 4 year degree holder.

They desperately want it to be true because it helps justify their worst impulses. They know it's not right to discriminate against people due to ethnicity or gender or sexual preference UNLESS they can somehow demonize the other side. The other factor is that Fox News (and other "media" outlets) play fast and loose with the "facts" in their 30-year culture war.

With this rhetoric, the Republican party is picking from the most predictable xenophobic playbook and invoking time-worn fear mongering: That immigrants “eat pets” is meant to signify their backwardness, danger, and inferiority; in turn, it then justifies the Republican party’s efforts to curtail immigration. For those perpetuating this false narrative, the truth has taken a back seat to the intended message: that immigrants are not “like us” and therefore pose a threat to hard-won American lives. The dichotomy being created is of white “Americans” with household pets like Fluffy and Fido as members of the family, and immigrants as trouncing on that which is held dear.

This sounds eerily close to my MIL -  she is, to this day, convinced Obama is/was some sort of Manchurian candidate type figure out to destroy the US from within, and the only reason more people aren't aware of his "true origins" is because BIG TECH is silencing and suppressing anyone that speaks out or has evidence. When I ask her how she knows about it then, without any hint of irony or self-awareness, she says "It's right there on YouTube!"

Now do IT and engineers.

Some professions see black and white. They are taught there is no medium ground at all. A good example is looking at terrorists. They tend to be engineers and doctors. It is the poets and lawyers who may create the vision, but rarely do they implement.

I don't think a lot of the brains on this planet were prepared for the internet. The things they see and hear that they believe.... back in oh say 1981, you would have only heard that shit from someone standing on a street corner screaming. Or on one of those community access shows at midnight. And they would have called those people loons. Now, they turn on their youtube machine and there it is, so by golly it must be true.

If George Soros spent money to get Laura Loomer into Trump's inner circle, and to have somebody (internet bots) convincing Trump and Couchfucker to keep up the Haitian immigrant bullshit, it's money well-spent because while it may not flip Ohio, it is A) putting the GQP's worst traits in regard to minorities, in the spotlight and B) sucking up airtime that would be spent going after Harris.

My MIL is full blown maga and full blown (fake) evangelical. She is the most hate filled person i have ever dealt with. If they aren't white Christians she has something to say about them.  She isn't allowed around my children if I am not there anymore. She told them my mother was going to hell because she was living with a man out of wedlock. Nevermind they were 70+ years old and neither saw the need to marry again and had been together for 10+ years.

She told my kids both their mother and I were going to hell because we lived together for years before marrying. 

The dressing down I gave her was absolutely the greatest point in my life. She is so mentally stunted, she was back calling, asking when she could see her grandchildren a few months later. Years later and she acts like it never happened and constantly asks why the kids don't ever want to stay with them. 

Broken people.
