Ah Johnny, don't forget who you are dealing with on the forum, because the "diehard trumpies" don't want to know/see/recognise anything which is contrary to their cult belief, so they refuse to believe it even when the words come out of their cult leader's mouth – – it is called cognitive dissonance, as if you didn't already know, and for others, this is an explanation of it: –

There are four theoretic paradigms of cognitive dissonance, the mental stress people experienced when exposed to information that is inconsistent with their beliefs, ideals or values: Belief Disconfirmation, Induced Compliance, Free Choice, and Effort Justification, which respectively explain what happens after a person acts inconsistently, relative to their intellectual perspectives; what happens after a person makes decisions and what are the effects upon a person who has expended much effort to achieve a goal. Common to each paradigm of cognitive-dissonance theory is the tenet: People invested in a given perspective shall—when confronted with contrary evidence—expend great effort to justify retaining the challenged perspective.

 

So you have absolutely no hope of being able to get these folk to see what is actually happening in the world, because they refuse to believe it, simple as that (however full marks for trying!).

Oh I'm only too aware.

As usual, the Democrats are focusing on the trees and ignoring the forest. The idea to allow 30,000 unvetted migrants a month full access to the USA is madness.  Not to mention putting so many in one small city.

It's amazing that you don't know that JD Vance admitted on live TV that he made up the story.

 

So, you have been posting for a week about the story about pets being eaten, not knowing that everyone else thought you were a loon.

Yes

The American media,” Vance suggested, “totally ignored this stuff until Donald Trump and I started talking about cat memes. If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that’s what I’m going to do.”  

“You just said that you’re ‘creating’ a story,” Bash responded. “You just said that this is a story that you created,” she repeated. Vance replied, “Yes!”

Does Trump “smoke his own dope”? If he believes something to be true, does that make it a lie? JD Vance had stated clearly, he is free to “tell stories” to bring attention to the subject of immigration, or anything else. 
 

MAGA. A worldview consisting almost entirely of “alternate facts”

Ohio Republican Governor Condemns Trump, Vance in NYT Op-Ed

Updated Sep 20, 2024 at 11:24 AM EDT

 

In his op-ed for the Times titled, "I'm the Governor of Ohio. I Don't Recognize the Springfield That Trump and Vance Describe," DeWine wrote, "Springfield has a rich history of providing refuge for the oppressed and being a place of opportunity. As a stop on the Underground Railroad, the Gammon House, which still stands, was a safe haven for escaped slaves seeking freedom. It is disappointing to me that Springfield has become the epicenter of vitriol over America's immigration policy, because it has long been a community of great diversity."

The governor added: "As a supporter of former President Donald Trump and Senator JD Vance, I am saddened by how they and others continue to repeat claims that lack evidence and disparage the legal migrants living in Springfield. This rhetoric hurts the city and its people, and it hurts those who have spent their lives there."

I have learned from J.D. Vance.

I have changed my terminology.

No longer do I say Haitians, following the lead of Vance I say "people from Haita".

What to know about the threats in Springfield, Ohio, after false claims about Haitian immigrants
A small Ohio city has been inundated with hoax bomb threats since last week’s presidential debate, when former President Donald Trump falsely accused members of Springfield’s Haitian community of abducting and eating cats and dogs...

More than 30 bomb threats have been made against schools, government buildings and city officials’ homes since last week, forcing evacuations and closures. Springfield also canceled its annual celebration of diversity, arts and culture in response to the threats, and on Tuesday, state police were deployed to city schools.

‘This is costing our city’: Bomb threats and evacuations take financial toll on Springfield following Trump’s false claims

Springfield Mayor Ron Rue has spent over a week scrambling to respond to a wave of bomb threats while subtly noting how the tab to keep people safe is growing daily.

“This is costing the city. We’re definitely in the hundreds of thousands of dollars in expense. We haven’t calculated the overtime, the contracts that need to be secured to be able to secure and communicate… take care of our city,” Rue told CNN’s Boris Sanchez earlier this week.

No links, no proof. Just the unsupported word of a Trump supporter which, coming from you is worthless.

 

Then please quote some of the lies that YOU claim Kamala Harris is spreading along with the links and fact checking responses.

 

Also you need to go back to school and learn how to spell peoples names properly.

Almost 2 weeks since the debate and people are still talking about how the migrants are affecting quality of life in small town America.  The gaff that keeps on giving.

 

It's almost going to be a shame when Christopher Rufo and the other right wingers confirm the veracity of videos they have of skinned cats on a grill in Ohio.

 

Up until then, I don't know of a single American who grew up on National Geographic and  Discovery Channel documentaries about 3rd world countries and bush meat that is honestly sure it didn't happen.  Lots of faux indignation, but I've seen too many NatGeo and DisCh scenes of cooked chimpanzee hands and dog heads to doubt it.
