Look at my parties dawg, I ain't never getting socialism.
On the one hand you have the Republicans saying shaitan immigrants eat pets but at least we have the democrats who were responsible for every bad thing that happened in Haiti and are also calling to stop immigration from that country to solve it.
White liberals: "Nooo! Haitians don't eat cats!"
Every Haitian person:
Granted they probably weren't eating people's domestic cats in whatever case the politician was talking about, but cat-stew is a thing in Haitian culture.
Squirrel stew is an equivalent dish in American culture and RFK Jr had been bragging about eating roadkill for the entire campaign but for some reason that hasn't been an issue for any of them.
I mean for fucks sake they tried to say that they were eating geese which
-
turned out to be total bullshit and
-
The people complaining about it made white people who facilitate that folk legends (duck dynasty)
The level of political discourse is abysmal
It really is crazy that "person who doesn't believe unhinged racist conspiracy theories but is also opposed to open, grandstanding genpcide" is a non viable political position in this country.
BREAKING NEWS: JD Vance has just been devoured by Donald Trump for consistent lack of rizz
It's just a rerun too of an old racist meme from the 90's of Chinese immigrants eating house pets.
I don't know how that became a thing. My dad tried to eat the neighbor's cat and he was Filipino. Did racists just get their stereotypes mixed up again?
My dad tried to eat the neighbor's cat and he was Filipino.
Having an alcoholic WWII resistance fighter veteran for a father will do that to you...kid's still gotta eat even when dad is passed out drunk, ya know?

there can only be 1
Apart from the political and economic reasons, sometimes I really think that white people make up these horrible lies because they know deep down they are the irredeemable monsters and they feel a desperate need to project.
Yea as a white person it's really obvious when other sub mediocre white people come up with excuses for why they're better than minorities.
If you have to lie about other people eating pets to be morally superior by comparison that says more about you then the obviously fictional boogeyman you clearly just made up on the spot.
It's like when they get obsessed with telling everybody they aren't a pedophile to prove they actually could be worse (before immeditaly being revealed as a pedophile)
Jerry Falwell's father
Horrifying animal cruelty
killed his employee's cat and fed it to him for lunch as a "prank."
The Swiss literally eat dogs

Harris must be better for Haitian immigrants, right?

At least r/vegancirclejerk has new material!
Going to buy me some fancy ass gormet 
and assorted artisan cheeses to get through tonight...along with barrel strength whiskey. Hopefully I can knock myself out in a coma. Ugggh.
tomorrow folks. Hopefully something funny happens!
Not to be a lib but the libs finally ariving at the conclusion of just pointing out how fucking weird these fascists nerds are really is the Achilles heel they've been grasping for for a decade.
Now if only they had a better alternative to propose.
Classic fascist rhetoric
