the wildest thing about these claims, is that there's literally no evidence of this shit happening, at all.

This is an OLD racist trope being brought back. Maybe the originator of it didn’t know about the trope, or maybe they did, but you don’t need evidence of this happening for a racist trope to work.
yeah, it's definitely racist, but i think the traditional racist trope here is that asians eat dogs. I'm not aware of this extending to other groups, but i suppose racism doesn't really give a shit?
Except maybe lost pets.. but pets get lost. Every neighborhood has lost cat posters don't they?
that's not evidence of anything.
"guys somebody died!" "oh shit there must be a serial killer around here now!" "nah man he just fell down a set of stairs"
a bunch of cats in a specific neighborhood going missing, now that's suspicious.
Buhbuhbuh he saw it on TV!
Can we hold the person spreading the lies and incitng violence legally responsible?
Well he wasn't held legally responsible for speeding lies and inciting violence into the US capitol
Yeah I'm aware. But one can still hope.
It's insane how much we have regressed with respect to this.
This country has always been racist, but at least since I've been alive, the general consensus is that racism is bad and it was never acceptable to be openly racist without being socially ostracized (to be fair, I'm referring to the region of the US where I grew up. I'm sure it varied by region).
The rise of Trump, and the ubiquity of social media has empowered these people to step out of the shadows, I guess, and show the true face of over 1/3 of voters in this country.
It fucking sucks to see
It's really insane if you listen to Reagan talking about immigrants being the strength of the nation and keeping the USA young and growing. And how if we ever stop with immigration or would ruin the country.
Wait, I'm not racist, I only hate dirty immigrants, it didn't matter what race they are
-racists, probably
This isn't even the first time he's done this, remember what happened with Covid and Asian Americans? Just look at the hate groups that support him, he never really distances himself from them, and he riles them up or gives them a target whenever it behooves him to do so.
And the ban on muslims entering the country specifically.
I knew I was missing at least one other instance. What a jackass.
In a way Trump supporters lifted a dirty bandaid from the back off this nation, allowing us to see what was festering underneath.
What we always suspected is now uncontestable; the US is rotting from within and racism is our disease.
Acid?
Because of some gibberish an old, senile man sputtered out? There haven't even been any pets eaten. Are they throwing acid just incase? Wtf is wrong with people.
I feel like I read something about one pet being eaten...
... By a crazy white lady born and raised locally
That's just what they want you to believe! /s
spoiler
A photo of the pet eating alien has been released...

Fuck this timeline.
I hope the people who spread the lies about them get charged with incitement
They won't, but there's a very good chance some Haitian families will get SWAT'd by racist neighbors.
Conservatism is harmful. It always has been.
In all of human history, nothing good has ever come from conservatism. Nothing. There is simply no place in a modern culture for harmful, regressive, hate-based ideologies like conservatism.
I miss when conservatives tried to conserve things like national parks (i.e. Teddy Roosevelt) instead of using conservatism as a mask for racism.
It's like, it seems appropriate for a two party system to have one party push for progress, while the other advises caution. But they dropped the euphemism and have been just blatantly racist/xenophobic/anti-other for far too long to pretend now that conservatism is anything else.
it's almost like we should do something about it instead of waiting for the government to do something about it.
it's almost like the world is on a collision course with a giant metaphorical iceberg while we stand idly by and do nothing.
it's almost like any amount of carnage and destruction would be better than a future in which we continue to let morons have a hand in guiding our society.
Nahhh. Don't look up.
Yep. Conservatism is the antithesis of progress
By definition.
