First of what is it - they are eating pets or taking jobs?
Regards the pets as I understand it, some lady couldn’t find her cat and posted something on social media about her neighbours who were Haitian eating it. She later found it in the basement and took down her post.
Vance even said he made the story up, but even if he heard from someone else, he should have made sure it was correct.
Both the city and the state have had no complaints.
As for Haitians in Springfield they were encouraged to come to the city to help revive it and that is what has happened.
It’s the stupidity of Trump and Vance in pushing the false narrative that has seen the bomb threats and has the rest of the world wondering just ho fucked up the US is.
Yup. Springfield OH is a classic example of a rustbelt city that was on the decline. Industry dying, young people moving away. Going back to '16 there are stories about them trying to revitalize their city. Recruiting immigrants to work there to help increase an industrial base is absolutely part of their plan and it is working.
But the Trump campaign depends upon activating hatred of "the other" and developing that fear and hate in "normal people."
Neo-Nazi guy makes that cats and dogs claim in a city meeting, it gets amplified in right wing fever swamp media circles and suddenly we have Haitians eating cats and dogs between bouts of them doing voodoo to disable American workers so they can take their jobs
Nothing but propaganda which is, as usual, frighteningly effective...especially for reactionary purposes
Disgusting
