OK, I’ve seen both presidential debates. And I see that the Republican candidates seem to be hungry. That hunger worries me. I am now sincerely worried that they are coming for our pets.
They’re going to eat the dogs, they’re going to eat the cats. They’re going to eat the pets of the people that live here.
Sorry, I got carried away there for a moment.
The fact is that Vance’s creepy conspiracy theory about Haitian immigrants tells us who he is. It wasn’t a dog whistle. It was a fog horn. It was a very explicit and pointed callout to racists.
The very randomness of it is what makes it so creepy. If you’re Hispanic, or Asian, or Jewish, or anybody else who gets in that man’s sights, don’t be surprised if you’re next.
