Trump invents an America “infested” with immigrants for votes

Good news, fellow Americans! Donald Trump will save us from the racist dystopia he has completely fabricated!

It’s clear that in the final weeks of this presidential campaign, an aging and increasingly disconnected Trump will lean more and more into totally bogus Hitlerian fan fiction. The GOP presidential nominee will continue to tell his rally crowds that immigrants, including those here legally, have transformed our country into a violent hellscape in which murder, rape, torture and destruction run rampant of towns and cities are common.

Trump will say “they” – MILLIONS OF “THEM”! ‒ they’ve killed the economy and taken all the jobs, eaten all the pets and committed all the crimes. The simple fact that border crossings have plummeted, the economy is booming, unemployment is low, everyone’s pets are fine, and crime is down means nothing. These are just examples of socialists, marxists and communists lying to you, right?

Trump sees an imaginary “army of illegal alien gangs.”

Here’s what Trump said about Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris “and her fellow radical leftists” at a weekend rally/hate party in Arizona:

“For four straight years, he has imported an army of illegal alien gang members and migrant criminals from dungeons around the world. … From prisons and jails, insane asylums, mental institutions. From Venezuela, from the Congo, everywhere. And he has resettled them in your communities to prey on innocent Americans. If Kamala has four more years, the whole country will become a migrant camp, and that is what is happening.” .

This is what’s happening, folks.

“They” have resettled in your communities, and those former dungeon dwellers and insane asylum dwellers prey on innocent people.

Opinion: Trump respects all women. Unless they’re “dumpier than hell” Kamala Harris.

We can’t see this racist dystopia, but Trump swears it’s there

You may not be seeing any of this. You may be reading about statistical evidence that shows none of this is happening. You can even look in a history book and read how this kind of dehumanizing and fear-mongering rhetoric is part of the authoritarian playbook, how it directly echoes the way the Nazis talked about the Jews during Adolf’s time hitler

But you have to ignore all that because the former president has a vision and he’s sticking with it, dammit. Best of all, he has the solution to these made-up problems: Donald Trump.

“When I win on November 5,” Trump said at a weekend rally in California, “the migrant invasion ends and the restoration of our country begins.”

On Friday in Aurora, Colorado, Trump declared: “I will rescue Aurora and all the towns that have been invaded and conquered. We will put these cruel, bloodthirsty criminals in jail or we will drive them out of our country.”

I’m sure that’s great news for the people of Aurora, where police data shows the crime rate is down 17.2% and the Republican mayor says the city has definitely not been invaded or conquered. not at all

Why are the facts coming out to get a 78-year-old racist to run for president?

I know what you’re thinking: BREAK IT, FACTS, YOU’RE INTERFERING WITH FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S XENOPHOBIC FEVER DREAM!

I mean, what does a 78 year old white man have to do to scare the tuna salad out of other white people and make them live in fear of waves of non-existent brown killers?

I’ll tell you what to do. He has to use terms like “sadistic monsters” and “animals” to describe immigrants. He has to say that the immigrants have “infested” the buildings where they live.

It has to be invented, as he did in Colorado, like this: “Come in, people are very sick. very sick They are coming to our country, they are very, very, very sick with a highly contagious disease. And they let them into our country to infect it.”

Opinion: Republicans can’t stop lying to Trump. Even if it hurts them.

He must say, “I will invoke the Alien Enemy Act of 1798,” which was used horribly to justify the incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II.

He has to say of legal Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio: “You’ve got to get them out of your face. You’ve got to get them out. I’m sorry.”

Only Trump can save us from this imaginary world he lies about

Sorry, folks. He regrets having to round up legal migrants and destroy their entire lives and communities here in the United States to solve the bogus problem he opportunistically pulled out of his spider-filled brain.

You see, the fact-free version of America worthy of white supremacy that Trump has fattened up can only be saved by Trump himself. So if you believe the vision, if you’re also seeing things that aren’t there and believing things that are absolute bunk, then Trump is the savior of everything you hold dear. Choosing him, I’d say, is the only way to reverse the nightmare you’re supposedly living.

But there is another way.

If Trump loses, he and his racist imaginations go packing. The false, fear-filled version of America that he pulled whole cloth is poofed. And then, perhaps, reality can return. Maybe fever dreams can be broken.

Maybe we can finally make stupidity shameful again.
