this is how i explained to a normie friend the despicable shit vance is doing. sharing in case it’s helpful to anyone having similar conversations.

there’s a town called springfield and there’s been a huge influx of legal haitian migrants there who were fleeing war in haiti, and they’ve basically revitalized the manufacturing business there by doing all the jobs and doing them well, but it’s caused a strain on housing and education in the area which obviously needs to be addressed. but instead of saying all that, vance is spreading the lie that the migrants are eating white peoples’s pets.

I just said your text word for word to my son but before I read you typing them. YAY US. Also it's true.

Think I’ll save that to send to my parents if they bring it up.

Also worth mentioning the historical context of other people and places who have used the line that a certain group of people eat pets, and how it's been used specifically to motivate violence against them.

this explanation makes it sound like the Haitians are gentrifying the neighborhood or Something which is sort of a fun image
