Donald Trump’s campaign is just going with unfettered racism now along with stoking fear and discrimination against those living with HIV.
In the aftermath of Tuesday’s presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, Trump’s running mate, Ohio U.S. Sen. JD Vance, made a series of controversial, bigoted, and inflammatory statements during an interview with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins. Vance doubled down on debunked claims about Haitian immigrants abducting pets to eat them and falsely linked the migrant community to rising rates of HIV and tuberculosis in Springfield, Ohio. His remarks have since drawn widespread condemnation for their harmful, fear-mongering nature.
So we're now at the "black people cause disease" stage, I see. Are we allowed to call upon the Nazi Germany parallells yet, or is that still "extreme and exaggerated rhetoric"?
They're claiming that immigrants are walking up to ponds, picking up geese, and then just calmly walking away.
But like, who the fuck has such little experience withe geese that thinks anyone short of the crocodile hunter could pick up a wild goose under any circumstances?
lol my dumbass neighbor just tried selling this argument to me and I just laughed and walked away. Like how ridiculous does the story have to be before you even do some basic logic questions?
Conservatives in red states like Mike Pence when he was governor of Indiana. It's common for them to squash needle eschange, testing, and other harm avoidance practices. Even crazier shit like banning narcon or treating it like drug paraphernalia, then bitching about opiod deaths
They're to the point where they just break shit so they have something to complain about.
And once again I walk into my office and all the chuds are buzzing about this. Like just go circle jerk your hate boners somewhere else cause thats all this is. And like Haitians of all people? Why?
I'm just so frustrated. Here we are, I feel the Earth melting under my feet more and more. Every day I wake up to 3-4 weather warnings on my phone. Yet, all half the country can focus on is racist and bigoted bullshit. I truly believe we will all die while listening to the same insane musings.
Gotta pick on groups that very few people are familiar with. Over the decades it's been Africans, Irish, Italians, Chinese, Japanese, Homosexuals, Muslims, Transgendered, Venezuelans (biggest driver of recent immigration), and now Haitians. If you decided to demonize Mexicans now you'd probably instantly get boos and sour looks because nearly all of us know someone of Mexican lineage and can sniff out most bullshit about their culture.
It didn't flop, it created a surge of racist extremists targeting a small minority demographic. The intention to do great harm was verily accomplished.
I absolutely blame the journalists for not shutting this down in their interviews. It was easy to see this from a mile away and be prepared for it. I haven't seen a decent interview since Johnathan Swan interviewed trump. WTF has happened to journalism?!
You would think the childless cat ladies running the country and making everyone miserable would do something about these cat-eating, HIV spreading Haitians.
