They are demonizing immigrants because they are racist. I notice no mention of white immigrants eating cats and dogs.

I think they’re doing it to activate the most radical MAGA supporters. Their base is not growing so they need a higher voter turnout. I also believe they are racists.

Of course they are.

Trump was massacred in the debate, but what is everyone talking about?
Trump wants civil war, a merger with Russia, and a move into Poland and beyond. So yes he only wants to talk about the unicorn of the day.

> Pete Buttigieg on Thursday slammed former President Donald Trump's recent false claims that migrants are eating pets, saying it's a strategy to distract from the Republican presidential nominee's record.
> Asked whether Harris would benefit from a second debate following Trump's announcement that he won't participate in another, Buttigieg said a second showdown with Trump is not the only way for Harris to get voters familiar with her.
> "Everyday, she's talking about the American people, about what she's going to do to continue to create jobs, what she's going to do to grow small businesses in this country, what she's going to do to help with child care – something Donald Trump seems literally, almost physically incapable of talking about," Buttigieg said.
This guy talking about other people so that nobody makes fun of his name.

Trump’s appearance at the debate was so profoundly damaging to his image that I don’t think he can recover, especially when clips of it show up in swing state Harris ads right before the election. These distraction stories may change focus, but it’s not to anything that will make him more appealing to the voters he needs to win over IMO.

Haitians in Ohio are allowed to stay in America legally. Unlike Trump, they are not convicted felons or rapists.
Haitian Americans are law abiding people. Unlike Trump supporters, they don’t attack the capitol or hurt the people opposing Donald Trump.
Hatian Americans are not domestic terrorists like Trump’s MAGA voters.

Yeah this is why they’re doing dumb shit every single day. Reminder that Trump’s policy is Project 2025.

I really don’t think it’s going to work. They just went too absurd, and the ‘cry wolf’ effect, hopefully, is starting to be factored in. The stories get grander and more ridiculous now. He already has the critically under intelligent vote on lockdown, I’m really not sure what these kind of attacks do for him strategically now.

What Trump/Vance are trying to do here is twofold.
They’re trying to incite anti-immigrant rioting and violence, which (a) gives them ammunition to declare that the country is lawless and out of control under Biden/Harris, and (b) stokes their base, which might be a bit discouraged after Trump’s debate wipeout.
And yes, it changes the subject from P2025. But at least the Dems won’t be shy about reminding voters about that.
Two-thirds of Trump’s debate comments were about “violent immigrants”. That’s the issue that resonates most strongly with their supporters.

I mean…it isn’t. It’s part of the record. They want to round up these people and ship them off.

Of course the Haitian immigration to Ohio began in 2018, during the Trump administration.

It’s just like Hitler saying the Jews were the problem. Get everyone to hate a group of people and use that hate to get support to win the election. Whether or not he actually cares about them coming is up to debate imo, but he definitely is using them in the same way Hitler used the Jews

Come on guys is it really so far-fetched to believe immigrants are traveling thousands of miles for the sole purpose of getting free sex changes in American prisons after getting caught raping dogs and eating women?

You forgot the “illegal” part in your headline. On the contrary they both talk highly about immigrants, it’s the illegal immigrants that they focus on.
