Targeting the lesbian community, I see.

Well, that’s something to look forward to Nov 9 to read about.

Sounds like the fur on her lips was a giveaway.

This is a report from the future? Dateline Nov 9 2024?

9/11 not 11/9? Must be a date conversion issue.

Oh, good catch. Fishy is outside the US.

A majority of Trump voters believe that Haitians are eating dogs and cats

Where is the “no evidence” choice? I don’t think it’s true, but I can’t say it is definitely, categorically false.

I would feel comfortable saying that the German American population is definitely not consuming cats and dogs, and there is no reason to say Haitian Americans would be different. It is a culture with high rates of dog ownership and no tradition of eating dog.

What kind of evidence are you looking for here to prove no Haitian ate a house pet? Would you be comfortable saying it’s definitely false that Donald Trump ate a dog today?

It seems this “news” was completely fabricated.

I actually thought about that. There are many more Haitians than there are Donald Trumps (thank God). It seems the actions of a single person who is pretty famous would be easier to confirm. I mean, there is a police report of an Canton Ohio woman who at least bit a cat (no word abiut whether she consumed any of it) in August.

In terms of impact, when other people say “definitely not true” I view that equivalently to me saying “no proof”. I would prefer the “no proof” formulation because it would be true even in the face of cryptofelinephagy. It is a wild accusation, and as such proof must be offered.

She was not Haitian, and obviously not in Springfield. Not an immigrant, but what sounds like a deranged person.

They also found a picture from another city in Ohio of a guy carrying 2 dead geese. They were roadkill, and the dude was not Haitian or in Springfield either.

The woman that started this whole mess has acknowledged it was with no knowledge. A cat went missing and people just speculated that Haitians were responsible. In my area, it would have been very likely the cat got hit by a car or eaten by a coyote. It turned out the rumor starter didn’t even know if a cat actually went missing, it was just a Facebook acquaintance of a friend thing. Just racist stuff that started running wild.

The Proud Boys are now marching in Springfield

The statement was “abducting and eating…” which i would feel pretty comfortable saying is definitely false.

Did someone in the US eat a cat or a dog recently? I’m not trusting all 330M Americans enough to say no. Or even 100% of any immigrant group.

Thinking that someone’s household pet is at high risk of being picked up and eaten by a stranger is pretty weird. Having an actual candidate for president of the United States say this in a debate is absolutely ducking insane.

A Haitian coyote?

If there’s an issue that Democrats and Republicans can agree on, it is probably on the proper amount of Haitian coyotes we should be allowing into the country.

Fixed. Cuz true.

I truly think it’s a willful belief in the face of no evidence.

I think it’s like an intensified “Trump wears shitty diapers” thing that the left has. Honestly, I think it’s plausible Trump has worn adult diapers. But I don’t think he’s constantly wandering around shitting his pants. Some liberals will tell you that’s really the case and that he really smells of shit 24/7. However, if you really got their true opinion, I think only a tiny minority would truly say that.

It feels like this is a more intense form of that. It’s really a true belief, even when being told that there is no evidence. The liberal media is hiding it, that guy with a goose was a Haitian because Facebook said so, and that lady ate a cat, in Springfield, another Haitian I think it was? I saw the video, she looked Haitian and a lot of people keep saying she was a Haitian illegal alien in Springfield. Somebody’s responding to my comments and lying about it being other people, that’s just liberals for you, I’m a racist just because I don’t want illegal Haitian aliens to eat our pets!

I know there’s a neo-Nazi contingent hanging around Springfield now, but in general it seems the community is reaching out in love and acceptance in the face of this national locus of racial hatred.
