I don't even know why they're using this avenue after telling voters it's ok to just kill your dog and they got RFK jr strapping whale heads to the top of his minivan and dumping rotten bear carcasses in Central Park after deciding not to eat it and riving around with it for a while

Also, let's say these pet eating stories are true. Wouldn't that mean one of two options, one they are eating pets out of starvation/need, or it's some kind of cultural miscommunication. Either way it's a failure on our end to provide or educate.

Look, I agree with you, but you are giving the maga crowd far too much credit. The maga crowd.

Imagine for a second a single person who is going to vote Trump in November forming this thought:

one they are eating pets out of starvation/need, or it’s some kind of cultural miscommunication. Either way it’s a failure on our end to provide or educate.

True. Me being a rational person that actually cares about my fellow human beings is giving literally dumb Nazies too much credit.

You say "they". I think this was pure Trump off the rails, and his handlers were probably screaming in the back.

Vance, Hannity, Gym Jordan, Ted Cruz, Elon Musk, Marge Green, and probably many more Republicans have amplifying this message for a week or two already. I think that's people to qualify as "they".

I don't want to search online right now, but I will if someone is interested in sources for each of those names with this lie.

He didn't just make it up, he's repeating what he sees in rightwing media.

They made it up, and they are the ones I was refusing too.

trump is like an elderly parrot that just screeches whatever he's heard recently

I think it was from a Facebook post of some conspiracy theorist, and may have been based on a lady in Canton Ohio that was having an episode from drug addiction and for some reason ate her cat. But conspiracy theriost turned it into immigrants because that's what you do when also having a break from reality.

Apparently JD Vance has been preaching about it for the last week, or something. That's where he got it from.
