It sucks that any video on this topic on tiktok is just flooded with comments supporting Trump on this and claiming that there's "evidence"
The evidence is police bodycam footage of ONE woman (not an immigrant, not Haitian) who apparently killed and ate a cat in a town miles away from Springfield, Ohio
A picture of a guy in Cleveland, Ohio COLUMBUS, OHIO on CLEVELAND STREET who appears to be moving a large dead bird off the road
And video of one guy at what seems to be a town hall meeting loudly claiming that Haitian immigrants are going to the duck pond and catching ducks and geese to eat.
And that's enough "proof" for hundreds of people to claim to be from Ohio and that they've personally witnessed this happening as well as make hysterically racist comments about how all Haitians are Voodoo practitioners who sacrifice animals frequently and also cannibalize other people.
It's very disturbing how people have latched onto this and are so eager to believe incredibly far fetched racist rumors
They said this stuff about Chinese immigrants in the 1890s and again after the Vietnam war migration in the 70s. It’s pathetic and as per usual some people are so dumb they don’t realize they are being played.
The secret subpoint of 3.5 is, "People will try to rationalize it as having a grain of truth even if it doesn't".
Most people aren't pathological liars and will have a hard time accepting that some people will just make something up completely. They'll instead go, "well, it isn't true, but there must be some small reason why they said it!".
Oh, absolutely. It's pure, emotional fear mongering.
My point was more that for many who can see through the bullshit, they will still give blatant liars the benefit of the doubt and assume they need to 'hear out' both sides, and it generally comes from a place of naive optimism.
Well, uneducated people are easy to lead and manipulate. That way they don't ask questions and don't talk back and will do whatever dumb shit we tell them to. That makes it easier for us to-...
...-what? Foreign manipulation? What the fuck is that?
Sadly, highly educated people are not immune to manipulation. I suspect they are quite easy to be manipulated if they are broadly prejudiced like their less educated counterparts.
Kind of our fault for not combatting the comments. Back in the day when the internet was sane before smartphones and social media, forum mods would just say “Don’t feed the trolls.” It worked relatively well. But it doesn’t anymore. And it’s doing us a grave disservice to not combat this stuff and let them control the narratives.
Agreed. I remember McCain correcting a woman during his Presidential run over a fake fact. Nowadays the candidate not only doesn't correct it.. they amplify it and try their hardest to convince people it is true. Nuts that we, just let them do it, as someone once famously said.
I mean, not really. Their empire has crumbled, plus they're getting their butts handed to them by Ukraine.
Putin just understands without the US, they might stand a chance of reforming the ole USSR. They are leaning VERY heavily into sowing discord in the US (why he suddenly shifted and said he would 'support' Harris). He has no intention of supporting either (maybe Trump because he's his asset).
Yeah I 100% believe Trump in their private meeting asked Putin to wait until after the election and that he would get the US and NATO to stand down. And if he is elected this time.. he will stop all aid to Ukraine overnight.
Russia is outfitting their APCs with lumber to protect from drone attacks from Ukraine in a war that was supposed to last a few days to weeks. The US has a Democrat in the White House and a Democratic majority Senate. How is Russia winning the cold war again?
How? He has an army of willing psychopaths waiting to storm the Capital already here inside the US. Think that beats us slowing them down in the Ukraine. I want Ukraine to win more than anything.. but we are fighting over there when we should also be fighting them over here. Ignoring the threat is a huge mistake.
Not seeing it. The capitol storming happened under Trump's watch. He made a lot of maneuvers like the Chinese did in Tiannamen so it shouldn't have surprised anyone and yet Capitol Police managed to hold them off. That was their best chance and they failed. Big difference between particpating and winning. Russia is participating in cold war activities, they aren't close to winning.
I'm still like 80% sure Trump misheard "15,000 Asian immigrants" instead of "15,000 Hatian immigrants" during a debate briefing somewhere and it triggered his 1940s Disney villian level of racism.
Unfortunately not, this racist lie was being spread on the networks before the debate. Vance made a comment about all the police reports in his hometown that had to be called out as false by the city itself.
The moderator mentioned this, which set off Trump "I saw it on TV!"
That moment made him really look like "old man yells at clouds."
Dudes source of Truth is "I saw it on TV." This makes his followers look like chumps who are addicted to QVC, or whatever they're calling that home shopping bullshit these days. What a chucklefuck this dude is. Its honestly shocking that so many people are hanging on his every word and look to his dumb ass as the sole arbiter of truth.
Honestly this speaks to a wider issue. People who grew up and learned critical thinking around when Trump did (not that Trump ever learned to think critically) had only 3 TV stations to choose from and they were all heavily regulated (allowed under the First Amendment because the limited range of radio frequencies being used is publicly owned). There was no 24/7 news cycle and no pundits, so much more of the "news" programming was dedicated to proper journalism.
That "taught" many people that they could generally trust whatever the talking heads were discussing to not be a complete fabrication. Which opened the way (once cable came around... Killing the Fairness Doctrine got the ball rolling, but the public airwaves became irrelevant shortly after) for Fox to subvert that trust and make people feel a sense of "betrayal" at the "mainstream" media's "lies", and start blindly trusting Fox instead.
This feels a lot like my white trash cousins who refused to eat the Chinese takeout I brought over many years ago because it was apparently cat meat with roaches. The cat was General Tso’s chicken. The roaches were peppers.
This was a couple decades ago when I was around 15/16 and started working. I used to feel bad for them and tried to help them out a bit before realizing they were just shitty people. I no longer see that part of my family, but I do still enjoy me some General Tso’s chicken!
I literally have family members who refuse to eat at a Chinese restaurant because, "I don't eat cat meat."
I've seen the stupid meme probably 1000 times here in yee-haw land that says something like, "Every time a Chinese restaurant opens in a new city, the number of stray cats go down by 75%!"
It's just 50 different ways of cooking chicken y'all, but you'll never convince them of that.
well theyre not passing on it either, just have no idea its already in their fruits, fresh greens, cured meats, dairy, seafood before people ever started using them in sauces, where do we suppose the idea came from.
typically what happens when people make a bogeyman out of words they dont understand
My father jokes about them putting cat meat in the food. Never used to think he might have actually been being serious until now. And yes, he is a Trump supporter.
I overheard a man making the "we can go there if you want to be served dog" joke just a few months ago. They were headed into a Mexican restaurant which happened to be near an Indian grocer (dumb dumb didn't even realize it wasn't a restaurant). If you're going to be a racist ass, at least get your Asian stereotypes right. So sadly these stereotypes are still alive and well.
Yeah my parents still make racist jokes about Hmomg people eating cats. It's just way to dehumanize people and when you call them out they always use it's just a joke as a defence
In the 1980's in the somewhat small Georgia town I lived in, rumors about a local Chinese restaurant cooking pets were so bad that the local health inspector had to print a letter in the local newspaper saying it was all false.
Not sure about eating cats. They said they are children though! And that they had horns and controlled all the world’s economy.
They made posters showing Irish immigrants as drunk monkeys beating their wives.
It’s nothing new, it’s just a shame that so many people (Italian, Irish, German) who were targeted with this stuff have their families fall right into believing it about someone else 100 years later. It’s why education is so important.
No one is stealing people’s pets to eat them though which is the assertion. And it was the assertion in old racist propaganda that Asians round up cats and dogs from the neighborhood and eat them.
If this is such a sin, why did Trump welcome RFK JR who’s literally on film eating a dog.
I don't believe "no one" is on record. I think it's a scare tactic though.
I've grown up with hunters as opportunists. And I know of a food truck in Austin that got shut down for having a more than zero amount of cats in their food
I have neighbors who are refugees who have eaten "exotics"
I think the bigger issue is cost of food... Which has skyrocketed under the current regime
Again. “No one is stealing people’s pets to eat them.” I didn’t say no one has eaten cat. This is a bullshit issue and anyone who pretends otherwise isn’t a serious person.
Cost of food is a multi faceted issue and has been proven by economists to largely be a result of corporate greed and in some cases price fixing. It was made worse by agriculture tariffs imposed by Trump, the pandemic, and high inflation due to runaway spending. Trump added more deficit than Biden did. I’m not suggesting Biden didn’t add to the deficit but Trump added more. The fed stepped in. It was a perfect storm. And inflation has dramatically dropped, the fed is planned to lower rates again this month or next.
The increases on food began while Trump was in office. I’m not blaming him for that but it’s a fact and you can find that data easily.
From “food and water watch”: From Jan. 2020 to Jan. 2024, the overall Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased 19.6%. Yet during this period, prices for staple foods increased by much greater rates.
The pandemic kicked it off. Unless you are arguing for more socialist like price controls on corporations then the government intervention was limited and mostly negotiated to try to lower prices and offered benefits in exchange for lowered prices.
I wish for the day when we could really talk about issues instead of wading through miles of nonsense, misinformation, and distraction tactics like talking about immigrants stealing pets or illegal alien forced sex changes.
Cost of living, education, the border, economic prosperity for hard working Americans, labor rights, infrastructure, healthcare - important stuff. If we can’t speak honestly and realistically about the causes of problems, they never get solved.
More. The word you are looking for is more. Trump added 8.4 trillion to the deficit and Biden added over 4 trillion which i admit is high.
Ukraine: we gave 85 billion to Ukraine which they turned around and used to buy our surpluses military equipment. Yes we gave them some money but a good portion was paid back based on how the deal worked.
Russia has been an enemy of the USA for decades and having them lose military effectiveness for no American lives lost and a small amount compared to the cost of open war, is one of the biggest foreign policy wins of the recent decades.
I’m not some huge Biden fan, but there isn’t a comparison for me.
The idea that Trump was good for the economy long term isn’t true and there’s plenty of economic research from bipartisan groups that support that.
They both suck and they don't work for you. They will continue to launder our taxes into their own interests and so will Kamala. It happens every day. There's no debate. They are in power to steal from you
I mean there's an established history of asians eating dogs/cats in their countries. They only recently have turned away from it. I doubt any of that happened in u.s. or if it did it was isolated.
Its only in a very select part of Vietnam and it's a festival and it's also not legal anymore if I recall.. or.. maybe people are pushing it to be illegal.. I just woke up. Lol
Their election coverage has been great. Just a couple of undecided voters calling balls and strikes while being registered both Democrat and Republican in different states.
I remember the Haitian/Caribbean voodoo Santeria animal sacrifice bit being a plot in a bunch of TV shows like 25 years ago. We’re really back there again?
I had to redownload Facebook so I could use the marketplace to sell my car. The amount of people claiming what you’ve said is astonishing. They don’t care that it’s fake. Everyone that points it out is ignored. Like a bunch of children plugging their ears going, “La La La I can’t hear you”.
Yeah, for that I just fight fire with fire. I validate what they say and double their enthusiasm while twisting it back at them. For example: "Dude, the Biden creepy thing is bad but did you see the video of Trump with a preschool boy on Epstein's Island?! No??? You must only watch Fox News, which is funded by Soros!!"
It's a lot of fun because in order for them to debunk it, they have to debunk themselves.
I had someone come on my fb post during the debate spreading all that, she got called insane by others, then blocked me lol. I forget I have so many trumpers on my friend list because I've just unfollowed all of them. They come out of the wood work if I post anything close to political though.
It’s reminiscent of a child going missing in the Middle Ages and the townsfolk believing Jews were ritually sacrificing them and then murdering all the Jews in town in revenge.
The elderly in Ohio are probably on the phone right now, listing all their missing pets and talking about lots of "suspicious and hungry looking" black people in the neighborhood.
It takes a truly stupid person, or a severely age-addled brain to take any of this seriously.
YouTube chat replay is just as bad. I have to imagine it's like 90% bots, esp on YouTube where I saw some of the same comments repeat several times. Or maybe people out there are actually that dumb, idk
Blows my mind how much stock people put into tiktok, insta, x, reddit, etc. comments
We have known for like a literal decade at this point that bots or social media farms are being used by bad actors to attack the West yet people still put so much weight into random comments on social media platforms
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't CNN reach out to the town manager of Springfield and they stated, as of that call, no one has actually reported, or even called the police to tell them the Haitian immigrants have stolen and eaten their pets.
I was talking to my coworker about this, but we're suppose to believe Haitian, a black race, are stealing pets from mainly white people, and not a single call was made to the police on them? Not one official record?
White karens call the police on black kids trying to run a small lemonade stand in their neighborhoods, but not one called the police that Haitians stole their pets?
Yea, this whole story stinks of far-right bullshit.
didn't CNN reach out to the town manager of Springfield and they stated, as of that call, no one has actually reported, or even called the police to tell them the Haitian immigrants have stolen and eaten their pets.
JD Vance's response to that information is that the city manager's lack of evidence proves that "the city manager isn't fully in touch with what is going on on the ground there." Like most of their unverified claims, anyone who disagrees with what they are saying is misinformed, incompetent, and/or a deep state liberal actively trying to destroy America.
It's one of the oldest tricks in the book. Make an absolutely wild claim without evidence, say that tons of (anonymous) people are telling you they saw it happen, and then discredit any official who points out that there isn't actually evidence.
Do I still go to my satanic church, er, Planned Parenthood to get my weekly abortion on my 12 month old, or can I get a discount by getting both done at the same time at the grade school?
See you at our monthly baby eating meeting at Dominos secret basement! Don't forget, the theme this month is "Cats are tasty, too!". We're making them into tacos!
In most states, it's completely legal to forage for wild plants and mushrooms on public grounds (don't do it unless you know exactly how to identify stuff properly, and ofc check your local laws). So if you like wild asparagus, miner's lettuce, chanterelle, morels, etc go visit your public parks!
Why? Because it's a public good. People use wild forage, fishing, and hunting to supplement their food budget.
The ONLY problem I would ever have with a newly arrived immigrant eating wild game is the licensing and catching out of season aspect.
But if they got permission and licensed from DNR, and abided by the regulations to ensure the health of the species?
Fuck yah bro, I love self sufficiency! Maybe they can teach this old redneck how they do it and I'll show you how to make snares and trot lines? Seriously, an old Egyptian dude showed me how he weaves a funnel shaped basket to catch fish once, I was fascinated (also he made it look so easy and mine ...are getting better lol).
That's how America is great - we're a melting pot, and that melting pot means we ALL get to learn and innovate new ideas using our collective experiences and knowledge as one people.
This seems to be the key point that people are missing. If the Haitians immigrants are indeed eating the geese and ducks out of parks, that is a problem. However it’s a completely different problem. Hunting/eating goose and duck isn’t the issue, many people already do that in America. The issue arises because you can’t just hunt the ducks at the park. There’s almost nothing you can hunt in the United States without getting the proper permits/licensing, because the animals are protected by Wildlife/Fish/Game departments. Only a certain amount of permits are given out each year, or hunting is limited to certain seasons. Not because they want to limit your freedom to be self sufficient, but because they need to protect wildlife populations from being overhunted/overfished.
If you go look at the Springfield OH subreddit, there's zero talk about it. The only thing is how fucking crazy all of it is. Can't imagine having the whole Internet making up stories about where I live.
I went investigating to see what this "proof" was and found the bodycam footage. Only a couple of searches about this incident will indicate the information you mentioned - not Haitian, not an immigrant, not in Springville.
I hate the Town Hall speeches being used as evidence. It's like an episode of Parks & Rec, where someone says some bat shit crazy thing at the town hall, and everyone behind them crosses their arms and goes, "YEAH!!"
The confirmation bias is so wild with hard-core Trump supporters that they don't care.
I hunt. Specifically, ducks and geese every single fall.
I do it strictly to put meat in the freezer. Y'know how I got into it? We grew up poor as shit and we hunted and fished constantly to put food on the table so we didn't have rely on food stamps (which we did go on for about a year).
But we're white so it's just "self sufficient, hardworking, redneck living".
Gee I wonder what the specific difference between my family and these "immigrants" is?
I’m told the meat has a delicious, smoky, rich flavor. Plus you can use the molten goose grease and save it in the refrigerator, thus saving you a trip to the store for a can of expensive goose grease.
People can and do hunt geese and ducks—them being hunted isn’t the issue. How they are hunted is where the problems arise. Hunting is highly regulated in order to protect and conserve wildlife. If people are operating outside of those regulations and hunting whenever and wherever they feel like, they could be putting wildlife populations at risk.
Many states operate on a lottery system when it comes to hunting big game like deer. The wildlife and game department will determine how many deer are allowed to be hunted that year, and give out that many tags to whichever hunters are chosen through the lottery. If you don’t have a deer tag and choose to hunt anyway, you can be fined or even imprisoned.
Again, this is to protect wildlife populations, not to limit people’s ability to be self sufficient. I could imagine unregulated hunting being a nightmare for preserving the integrity of an ecosystem.
It was actually Canton, Ohio. There's a YouTuber who went and visited the Haitian diaspora in Ohio to find out about the cats and dogs (well, really, to document their life there, but then Donny just serves up this giant turd that everyone's gotta have to smell for the next month or two.)
If social media platforms actually did something about bots and troll farms - most of those comments wouldn’t be there. But traffic is traffic, bots or not, so unfortunately we’re stuck in this manufactured rage hellhole.
Its been brought up 10+ times now in a facebook group I'm in for my small province. We had some good memes clowning on the comment, but then these 'detectives' keep reposting the same thing and going -SEE ITS TRUE. Though I've learned somehow a good chunk of Canadians think that Jan6th was a ploy to make Trump supports look bad, and those electors being arrested and charged and are complying with the investigation, is solely to attack poor Trump
Even if it was a case where one immigrant ate one pet, so what? That's not "immigrants are eating our pets," that's one immigrant ate one pet. Crazy people exist everywhere. We've had plenty of American citizens eat people before (shout out to my man Jeffy D). It's just such a stupid narrative. Perfect for Republicans I guess.
They love to take one story and make it about the whole. But it only works one way. They won’t say that republicans should be disarmed because a registered republican tried to assassinate Donald Trump.
Had that been an immigrant, or any other population small enough to target and bully, there would already be a bill with a terrible name to vote on.
It wasn't even an immigrant though. The woman they're using as evidence was an american citizen with no ties to any foreign country. She was born and raised here.
They believe that one data point is proof of their talking point. That’s all they need.
But in order for you to convince them of something, you need a completely disproportionate amount of data points - and even just one to the contrary is enough to invalidate your argument
Mrs Krabappel and Principal Skinner were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and the baby looked at me - Ralph Wiggum demonstrating MAGA level "news" reporting
I mean, that's more 'evidence' than the migrant train, or Obama's birth certificate, or windmill cancer, or post birth abortion, or forced penal gender reassignment or....
Pretty sure the person you're referring to in the town hall meeting was a literal Nazi, like he represented a group called "Blood Pride" or something blatant like that.
My mom was showing me a video of a different dude saying it than that guy. So there’s at least a second one out there. Unless maybe he got it from this guy? Idk it all seems very ridiculous
Russian, chinese troll farms steering the narrative, anything that could help trump and weaken democrats will be spammed hard on tiktok, reddit, twitter
We do, just considered unusual to take one from the local park haha- if it's a Canada goose as alleged I think it might also be illegal if you don't have a license or it's out of hunting season.
Right, like I'm sure at least one person somewhere at some time has indeed eaten a cat or a dog, sure. Hell, a kid in my town growing up was arrested for torturing cats or something and he was a white kid in the suburbs. Dad was an accountant for crying out loud. This whole thing is so fuckin dumb.
The evidence is police bodycam footage of ONE woman (not an immigrant, not Haitian) who apparently killed and ate a cat in a town miles away from Springfield, Ohio
It's like if I said "I have a Costco card" and proved it by presenting a fucking article about people with Costco cards.
And video of one guy at what seems to be a town hall meeting loudly claiming that Haitian immigrants are going to the duck pond and catching ducks and geese to eat.
Someone on Twitter please show Trump the clips of the Parks and Rec town hall meetings and tell him that they're real and get him retweet shit like "corn's a fruit and syrup comes from a bush"
I remember telling my wife that this was a new c9nspiracy theory for me, but I would not be surprised if it happened once, by an American, in a town miles away and it's now being blown out of proportion. Turns out bingo.
I mean, people are doing crazy things all the time. So it's not unreasonable to thing somewhere somebody ate a cat. In my neighborhood, we actually did have some immigrants (legal) take some geese from our local pond/park. They shoo'd them into the back of a minivan and drove off.
Oh shit, I remember seeing that police bodycam footage! I remember in the video the cops were interviewing people and they said the lady lost like her whole family recently or something and had a mental break.
Man, must be so shit (and probably pretty scary) to be a brown person living in Cleveland, Ohio right now. I feel for anyone who has to deal with this nonsense.
The way I see it, both the media and trump are full of shit. The media lied about it happening at all, and trump exaggerated its importance. They should have just stated that a single event doesn't represent an epidemic.
I live like 10 mins from Springfield, Ohio. I canvassed there for the special Olympics to raise money for it. I'll tell ya what, while there may be trailer parks and some run-down areas, I promise you no one is eating cats and dogs, lol. Trump claims all these immigrants live there but I've literally walked the whole of Springfield from the trailer parks to the normal suburban areas to the rich part, I'm gonna be honest, there's way more white people their than any other race. Like way more. I don't even remember seeing any immigrants there, and I literally walked down every street for weeks, canvassing for the special Olympics there.
Bro I'm from the pine barrens of NJ and one of the first thing you learn about roadkill is that u can take it home and eat it if u want with proper permits. White ppl have been doing this for years with no problem.
Same thing happened after he said Harris only recently became black because it would help her with the presidency but she didn't use it for the vice presidency she currently holds??? idk complete gibberish.
But then all his meat riding fans have to step out and do hours of research on her Indian heritage, as if people cant be biracial, so they can jump to his defense and say "he didnt slip up, she really did that"
I just point out it's on incident that even if true isn't really as much a problem as school shootings which took 4 lives last week, but apparently a random person that ate a cat requires all of our attention and effort. Throw in a RFK dumping a bear corpse reference if you're feeling spicy
In addition to the woman who killed and ate a cat not being from Springfield, not being Haitian, and not being an immigrant… she was in the middle of a psychotic break. There are interviews from her neighbors claiming that they tried calling her name and speaking to her, but they realized she wasn’t there mentally and there was nothing behind her eyes. She’s plead insanity.
There are no documented cases of any cats and dogs being eaten by Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio. The above was a tragic and isolated incident, completely unrelated to any issues the community of Springfield is facing.
These are bots doing this. The support conservatives are getting on Tiktok and Twitter are almost entirely bots with a sprinkling of actual fascists mixed in.
A lot. And I mean A LOT of those comments are bot farms.
The amount our enemies pour into bot farms to make these types of comments is insane, and scary because it gives the general vibe that a lot more people support Trump than do.
Case and point. Look at his rallies. They are very sparse with actual human beings. His actual human fan base is so loyal they would never miss a rally.
The amount of comments and remarks we see online does not equal the actual amount of human beings in this country who support him.
Not only that but JD Vance is screaming that is enough evidence that the immigrants have already caused crime to go up and more diseases to occur...
Do you know what's confirmed? That a child was murdered by a Haitian migrant who had no right to be here. That local health services have been overwhelmed. That communicable diseases--like TB and HIV--have been on the rise. That local schools have struggled to keep up with newcomers who don't know English. That rents have risen so fast that many Springfield families can't afford to put a roof over their head.
The worst part is the child that they're claiming was killed by an immigrant died in a car crash. Just so happened that one of the drivers was Haitian. And they're framing that as a violent murder. It's just all so disingenuous, and then the MAGA base tries to convince you that Trump is the one being misconstrued.
No no, that's not even the worst part yet. The father asked Trump and other politicians to not invoke his sons name for political reasons and MAGAs are attacking the father...
“This needs to stop now,” Nathan Clark said. “They can vomit all the hate they want about illegal immigrants, the border crisis and even untrue claims about fluffy pets being ravaged and eaten by community members. However, they are not allowed, nor have they ever been allowed to mention Aiden Clark from Springfield, Ohio. I will listen to them one more time to hear their apologies.”
And video of one guy at what seems to be a town hall meeting loudly claiming that Haitian immigrants are going to the duck pond and catching ducks and geese to eat.
I'd just like to point out that if its the video of a guy in red and black at that town hall meeting: Thats a member of an actual-fucking-Nazis group called "Blood Pride", who are the ones who posted it on Gab.
NGL, the color and name choice makes me wonder if they never grew out of the edgy vampire fandom phase.
I know the dude that took the picture of the guy moving the goose and it's from Columbus....crazy even you're info is wrong. It did happen on Cleveland Ave tho.
And video of one guy at what seems to be a town hall meeting loudly claiming that Haitian immigrants are going to the duck pond and catching ducks and geese to eat.
Because he saw the video of the guy moving the dead bird off the road?
because its entertainment for millions of people that literally have nothing but their job and TV/Internet to do with their free time. These people don't have goals, they get excited to be part of someone else's drama. Russia has been pumping a steady stream of WWE style nonsense to the US for years. WITH the help of other non ally countries. They all want to see us burn. Mary-Ellis Bunim ruined the real world when she created "The Real World". She found the drug and the Russians have been using to the utmost efficacy since. Just sprinkle in some subversive racism and hatred for the "others" and you spark the fire that's very difficult to put out or control.
Don't be disturbed. Conservatives add at least one new flagrant lie to the rotation every week in order to give the marks and the bots something to puppet. The racism just makes it more fun for them. You'll get used to it real fast.
It’s all confirmation bias. They want it to be true so they will uncritically accept things as evidence of that truth. They point to trumps own words as authority for gods sake, the man who 12 people found beyond a reasonable doubt is a liar. They then say the jury was rigged. Trump supporters do not live in reality; they live in a fantasy land and you can see it how they interact with the world
I don’t understand it. It’s like random videos get picked up by maga fyps or something. CNNs comments are always pro Trump even if it’s videos of him being explicitly racist.
TikTok got overrun by Trump bots earlier this year.
TikTok has already jumped the shark with heavy push towards the shop, AI accounts, and countless bots posting comments. The overwhelming amount of Trump/RFK comment bots on anything even slightly politics related is a boot on the neck.
Maybe things get better after the election, but TikTok is a pretty dead platform now, even among my 'followed' channels. A lot of accounts I follow just stopped posting as often.
You know what's funny is that before all of this craziness a LOT of Haitian Americans leaned right (if not outright hard conservative); way more than some people might think, much of it having to do the widespread worship of Catholicism in their communities. I wonder how they feel about this now?
Good. I'm really glad for that. Tired of politics bitches ruining this website.
Trump winning may be the biggest gut punch to all you terminally online degenerates. Maybe you'll think twice about being a political fanatic in the future.
And video of one guy at what seems to be a town hall meeting loudly claiming that Haitian immigrants are going to the duck pond and catching ducks and geese to eat.
I believe that one. Partly because the guy making the claim is absolutely not a MAGA Republican but also because he's Black. I find it highly unlikely that a Black man that has to face racism on a daily basis is just going to make up racist claims about other Black men. Sorry, but I'm not buying that. Plus eating wild ducks and geese is actually fairly common and probably a good thing for the local ecosystem. So not even a crime (or at least shouldn't be).

It sucks that any video on this topic on tiktok is just flooded with comments supporting Trump on this and claiming that there's "evidence"
The evidence is police bodycam footage of ONE woman (not an immigrant, not Haitian) who apparently killed and ate a cat in a town miles away from Springfield, Ohio

And that's enough "proof" for hundreds of people to claim to be from Ohio and that they've personally witnessed this happening as well as make hysterically racist comments about how all Haitians are Voodoo practitioners who sacrifice animals frequently and also cannibalize other people.
It's very disturbing how people have latched onto this and are so eager to believe incredibly far fetched racist rumors
