The reason the âHaitians are eating petsâ story is so juicy is that many Americans hate immigrants and hate how they move in and shift the demographics of communities, but need a more rational reason to hate them than âI just want my town to be white.â.This story gives it to them.

Ta-Neishi Coates is an intellectual, so I assume he knows the last slave auction in Lower Manhattan occurred in 1762, and the last slaves in New York were freed about 50 years later. The last slave ship arrived in Palestine from Africa in 1876 and last descendants of enslaved.

I mean it won again, this time the popular vote, and a lot of people feel the resistance just made it worse. This is much like 2005 with Bush. We all see the train barrelling down the track and we know the wreck has to happen for people to get it. So just let it happen.
The vibes recently just feel like everyone has accepted Trump. The media doesnât want to challenge him, social media is going to all be owned by suck ups, the Democrats arenât putting up a fight like they did in 2017. It just feels like society has fully accepted Trumpism.

Yeah, nothing the Democratic Party has done to appeal to demographics they were told would come to them if they moved left - labor, Latinos, young voters - has worked. If Harris loses, weâre returning to Clintonism.
