Trump and Vance Won’t Be Happy Until Springfield Haitians Die

Trump’s gambit is bad, but Vance’s is even worse. He’s one of Ohio’s senators; these are his constituents. How can he endanger them like this?

      Man I really wanna believe that because thinking that people like them could never be happy brings me a sense of solace in a kind of ‘turns our there is still such a thing as consequences’ type of way

        Believe it.

        The Haitians never did anything to them. It’s just a scapegoat for a systemic anxiety at seeing the world move on without them. Killing some innnocent Haitians will not solve that problem.

        Too bad they lack the introspection to realize it, so they are going to do it to group after group, looking for an imaginary racial purity that never existed. Until they are dealt with.

        It’s true. The basics of fascism are that you need an outgroup to blame for everything. If you somehow kill the outgroup, you have to invent a new one. Otherwise, people start asking for actual solutions to societal problems, and fascists don’t know what to do with that.

      The song Far From Heaven by Fit For An Autopsy is about shit like this. This entire album is counterculture masterpiece. I play it when I’m hanging anti conservative fliers. It has your exact words in it.

    It’s a fundamentally strange question to ask why a party whose entire stated goal is to harm its own constituents is fulfilling its own mission statement.

    But it’s a strange enough goal that the question is understandable, coming from anyone normal.
