Crazy stupid racist crap

Absolute craziness in the United States now:

First they came for the pregnant women And I did not speak out Because I was not a pregnant woman Then they came for the Haitian immigrants And I did not speak out Because I was not a Haitian imigramt ... Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me

one of the reasons I think it is important that Trump loses big is that I want even the monsters pushing this stuff to believe it’s bad tactics there needs to be a political price for stochastic terrorism and it needs to be high

Trump is doing the same thing to the Haitians that he did to the Muslims in 2016. This crew has one playbook (racism and othering) and they keep using it again and again and again.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’d much rather have an entire Haitian immigrant family living right next door to me than a white supremacist or a racist MAGA lunatic any day of the week.

if your ancestors were born in Ireland like mine, or were born somewhere in Asia, or Italy or Germany or were Jewish or were Catholic, and so many others, what Trump is saying about Haitians is just what they said about your relatives.
