Donald Trump's Racist Campaign
I just heard Charlie Sykes say something I hadnt really been thinking about but it certainly has the ring of truth. "Donald Trump has moved on from Mexicans" and is now focused on Haitians. Trump recently he said that he is going to visit Springfield Ohio and he's not sure if anyone will ever see him again. The dogwhistle is that the Haitians of Springfield are cannibals and they might eat him. Most Haitians are very dark skinned.
The Haitians of Ohio are also here legally, with protective status having been given to Haitian immigrants about a decade ago. Their journey is hardly different from immigrants throughout American history that came from profoundly troubled countries , such as Eastern Europeans after world war two. The difference is pigmentation.
I have a suspicion that racism toward those people in Springfield Ohio is doing well in Republican internal focus groups. What else could explain the demented concentration by Trump and Vance on Haitians?
Trump is leaning in on this topic for a reason. And you can see it in the photo.
Easy to explain actually.
I can't see the photo.
...and Jews.
Hundreds of Haitians should show up at his rally if he goes to Springfield. Get in the front and let him tell them to their face that he is deporting them.
Sounds like a nice campaign ad for Harris.
We should be so lucky.
I hate to say it, but I think our conservatives have nothing to say on this subject.
One or two of them can always be counted on to troll though.
Of course he is. These Haitians are vulnerable and 'right out of central casting (from a "shithole" country) for a response. They have relatively no or little political power and influence, so 'they' check the box for Donald!
He can exploit their vulnerable presence here as something (1) Biden's administration lends into. . . .thus, it is bound to excite the base which is worried and angered by the stories of (2) replacement of whites in "small-town" America. It's a tale about (3) People of Color coming to take over white "spaces" as in the browning of America and why (4) GOPers 'demand' control over the wombs of women. . . especially white women (from whom some GOPers desperately want more numbers of themselves).
So you feel Haiti is a shithole country.
Any reason in particular?
notice he put "shithole" in quotes . that actually means something.
So just a bunch of malarkey with some hyperbole thrown in for good measure.
Got it.
People try to help you understand things and you resist.

Thanks for the 'assist.' The article is above for some trumpists to misconstrue or force plausible deniability on to it.
OMG...I think the Haitians have better palates than wanting to eat a stale, old dude. Can you imagine the amounts of gristle on that old dude?
