There's something so disturbing to me Sam about frankly the way J.D. Vance has

pipeline this quote-unquote issue right of Haitians eating pets. This was like

him. He was the one tweeting about it. It's in Ohio, right? So you can say I've heard from constituents. I mean you're just setting up these people to be attacked. I mean the word gets thrown around a lot but it's blood liable.

Yes. It's not about eating children, it's about eating pets, but I mean it's profoundly disturbing.

As the debate went on, I really think you saw this is the beating heart of the Trump campaign anti-immigrant

sentiment and they get blamed for every single fucking thing essentially like you

look at any issue housing housing problems, housing shortages, blame the immigrants, jobs blame the immigrants, crime, blame the immigrants.

All the spokes of the wheel go back to this vision of like racial and ethnic purity, mass deportation, and unleashing hate

toward immigrants, migrants, asylum seekers, people trying to come to our country.

Whatever their legal status, they don't

fucking care. Do you think Trump could tell you the difference between

someone applying for asylum and two or three other categories? Of course not.

It's not just like the thing they talk about the most. It's conceptually at the heart of everything.

And I mean, I know no one should be surprised by the depths of depravity to which one Ted Cruz will sink to.

But when he tweeted one of these memes about like cats

saying vote for Trump so that the Haitian immigrants don't eat me,

which is literally what the meme said I really did have one of

those like like seeing a deeply disturbing premonition of the future it's like the

the combination of seeing kitzy memes deployed in the service of such rank dehumanization of other people.

A friend of mine on Twitter said it was like looking at health through a peephole.

Yeah, yeah, that's a good line.

That was so, that has been rattling around in my brain for a couple days.
