Whenever A.R. Moxon posts one of his stellar essays, it's a challenge to choose any portion to excerpt, because the essays are always dense, rich, well-written — and everything he says counts.

I hope the bits I'm choosing to excerpt here might encourage you to read the entire thing:

#Nazi poster boy and and internationally acclaimed 'most dangerous asshole' Stephen Miller has a complete and total #MELTDOWN when a reporter asks him for the sources of some of the bullshit numbers spouting from his lying mouth about "#gangs" of "illegal" #immigrants from #Venezuela. It's worth watching as long as you scroll the page such that your not forced to look at him.

"This falsehood, directed at a community that has done nothing wrong besides being from a different place than the surrounding residents, shows how much the Trump campaign’s strategy hinges on polluting the information environment with lies about vulnerable groups that Republicans want to blame for the country’s problems."

"Trump and Vance are lying about this fabricated allegation about immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, eating pets because their main goal is to generate the emotion of disgust toward a target group of people, to make immigrants subhuman. Straight out of the fascist, authoritarian playbook and a primer for violence toward that group."

"A campaign built on populist demagoguery has nowhere else to go especially when slipping in the polls. It is based on an 'us versus them' binary where the 'us' has to constantly be rallied and riled against the 'them.' Fear mongering and resentment—American carnage—is baked into the cake. And it will be served up nonstop between now and November—and perhaps beyond."

"The Trump-Vance campaign isn’t 'backtracking' from it because this is who they are. They want people to hate immigrants, they want to encourage violence. They don’t give a damn that the things they’re saying are false."

"This racist lie designed to divide American and stoke hatred towards immigrants and racial minorities — exactly the kind of lie that has in the past resulted in violence against marginalized communities. things they’re saying are false."

"He is trying to stir up hatred. It’s the politics of hate that I wrote about in Hatemonger. He wants people to believe that all of their problems are due to immigrants, and to create this — you know, an environment that is extremely unsafe for immigrant families, mixed-status communities, people of color across this country."

"The story was thoroughly debunked even before the debate. But examining how it got laundered from the fringes of the internet to Trump’s lips during a debate watched by tens of millions of people perfectly illustrates the hollowness at the center of the Trump movement, and indeed in modern conservatism itself."

"Observers correctly noted that the racist trope of immigrants eating pets dehumanizes marginalized people who are already vulnerable, putting them in danger. While posters and media have repeatedly pointed out that the Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, are there legally and have revitalized the city, making fun of those sharing such a stupid lie has a different kind of potential to defang it."

"Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance attacked the moderators and doubled down on the lie that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, were eating their neighbors’ pets, despite statements from Springfield police and the town manager that there is no evidence for such a statement."

"There are monsters in this story, but they aren’t the immigrants trying to build a better life for themselves and their families. They’re the neo-Nazis, the right-wing influencers, the ghoulish amen chorus online and on Fox, and most of all, Donald Trump and JD Vance. They’re seeding the ground for something truly horrifying, and no one should mistake it for anything else."

"JD Vance is no dummy; he is very conscious of the way he is kneading the clay of racist lies to arrive at what he believes is a more elemental truth. ...

This fictional barbarity, Trump and Vance are saying, must be met with genuine barbarity of our own. These are not humans but monsters, and if we have to spill their blood to purify our nation, it will be a righteous and glorious pogrom."

"Is it that we should be concerned about the effects of immigration on housing prices or school resources? No no no. It’s that immigrants must be seen as sub-human. Who eats dogs and cats? Humans don’t do that.

The accusation is meant to evoke fear and disgust; it’s closely related to the ancient blood libel against Jews, which said they were kidnapping Christian children to kill them and use their blood in dark rituals."

"The story is false, but it ricocheted through right-wing social media, quickly being promoted by Elon Musk, various Republican members of Congress, and Vance himself, who was all too eager to spread it far and wide."

Waldman writes,

"The fake story reveals a deeper, more essential truth that it’s important for people to believe. And what is that supposed truth?"

As Paul Waldman notes, the toxic and easily disproven lie that Trump chose to spread in the debate — that Haitians in Ohio are eating pets — started with Vance, who got the lie from neo-Nazis:

"It wasn’t until neo-Nazis began spreading a lie about those immigrants eating pets that Vance got people to really pay attention to Springfield."

"Trump is using similar language as a prelude to the proposed mass deportations of migrants that both he and Project 2025 (which he claimed last night he’d never read) call for. Trump and Vance are setting up a society where atrocities against other human beings can be justified by dehumanizing them first."

"In extreme cases, dehumanization is a path towards genocide, the way the Nazis called Jews in Germany vermin and claimed that they spread disease and used the blood of non-Jewish children in rituals as prelude to the Holocaust. Trump is using similar language as a prelude to the proposed mass deportations of migrants that both he and Project 2025 (which he claimed last night he’d never read) call for."

"It is both of those things, but it is more than that; it is also dangerous. Dehumanizing people is what makes inhuman treatment of them possible. It’s how you justify the family separation policy that ripped children from their parents, some of them so young that reunification is still elusive more than five years later."

Joyce Vance quotes Greg Sargent, who says,

"Fact-checking MAGA's vile lie about cat-eating Haitians misses the point. It's an *open* assertion of the power to lie with impunity about immigrants as a prelude to 'bloody' removals of millions."

Then she adds,

"It's not just that the Haitian story is ridiculous. It's not just that it’s a lie."

@Ted_Cville @Npars01
He goes back to "#immigrants" again & again b/c he (and his #cult) are #racist douchebags, and they're an easy scapegoat to blame for everything.

He blamed them for #crime, #Covid, #drugs, terrorism, why he lost the popular vote in 2016, and the #election in 2020.


@Npars01
T**** didn't offer a single idea to improve people's lives.

He scapegoated #Immigrants all night (even on subjects that had nothing to do with #immigration.)

He had to go back to "the flu #pandemic of 1917"… 107 years ago… to find an example of a pandemic that was handled worse to defend his handling of #Covid.

Despite embracing the endorsement of 🦇 💩 😜 RFK who admitted to once having "a freezer full of roadkill", he cited a bizarre claim #immigrants are eating dogs.


POS #TedCruz Shares #Racist #Immigration #Conspiracy

Sen Ted Cruz has joined the “Haitian #immigrants are eating house cats” [idiotic] #ConspiracyTheory, sharing a meme…on Mon that he presumably thinks is funny.

But as the internet was quick to remind him, Cruz probably shouldn’t be getting involved in spreading any #ConspiracyTheories involving pets.
