How did an easily debunked story of immigrants abducting cats and dogs become a bigger source of outrage than neverending school shootings?
How did an easily debunked story of immigrants abducting cats and dogs become a bigger source of outrage than neverending school shootings?
When Trump brought the cat and dog thing up at the debate, I thought he was cooked and that nobody in the right frame of mind, not even the average chud, would believe it, but the next day people at my work were talking about how true it is and that it needs to be stopped. It's amazing and scary how easily people are quick to believe something without a shred of evidence.
Even my mom texted me a mugshot of a woman who was arrested for killing and trying to eat a cat. But when I replied that it happened in a completely different city and the suspect was a US born citizen with mental issues, she said that the suspect was actually Haitian, it happened in Springfield and the police are pretending it happened somewhere else to make their town look good.
I don't even know how to respond to a take like that. Just a year or so ago she was happy to see Alex Jones getting canceled for threatening families of the kids who died at Sandy Hook. Now she's believing and forwarding Jones-grade conspiracy shit, and she couldn't care less about school shootings anymore. It's depressing as fuck.

Yaasy, we're at the pogroms stage of the US. Well, guess we've been there a while if you count Isn'treal.
We could probably have a pretty good discussion on how immigration raids have taken the role of pogroms in euro societies. Sort of a beaurocratic, legalish, less overtly violent evolution.
There are a lot of parallels between the modern raids in the USA and Europe and the olden times when the whites would smash up some business in the Jim Crow era or the local official in the tsardom would tell the Cossacks to go fuck up the Jews because it was like a pressure valve for the unrest boiling under the surface of pre-industrial Russia
In true American fashion, the American people have outsourced their racist violence to the state.
Lazy racists.
