Desperate Racist Assholes Lie About Haitians Eating Pets In Ohio
When Republicans are losing and they have nothing left, they ALWAYS lean into the worst racism imaginable.

Rachel Maddow regularly repeats this about Republicans: Watch what they do, not what they say. And it’s good advice. Right now, Republicans are saying they’re winning and the only way they can lose is if Democrats “cheat.” “Cheating” in this context means “voting” but what the fuck ever. Republicans are sore loser fascists. That’s for another article.
The thing you want to watch for is whether or not Republicans are acting like they’re winning. Or if they even think they have a real shot at it.
Hint: No.
What makes it so obvious is that they’re doing what they ALWAYS do when an election is close and things are going badly: They smash the racism button with every ounce of hate their little KKK hands can muster.
You may have noticed the right’s completely unified freak-out over imaginary Haitians eating neighborhood pets in Ohio. If Not, god, you’re so lucky. Sorry to ruin your day with this but it’s what you come here for.1
JD Vance kicked it off by repeating a lie he found online:
The rest of the right eagerly ran with it because nothing gets a Republican voter harder than pure, naked racism:
Of course, Putin’s well-paid propagandists are all over it. And they still had NO IDEA they were sock puppet with a Kremlin penis inside of them. None at all.
So, of course, is Elon Musk, Chief Fascist of Twitter.
Just to be absolutely clear, this is a completely 100% made-up story. The cops in Ohio were explicit about this.
But no one on the right cares. They’ll keep repeating this for weeks because it makes them feel good. They LOVE to be racist pigs and they can’t scream the N-word at Kamala Harris so this will have to do.
Just as a side note, it’s important to pay attention here to how the press reacts. After a week of the left making fun of JD Vance for fucking a couch, even though we all knew he didn’t, the press was VERY disappointed in us and wouldn’t shut the fuck up about it. The tone police are still rending their garments about us calling Republicans “weird.” That’s just so out of bounds and uncouth!
Will those same scolds in the press admonish the right for lying about Haitians eating cats and dogs here in the US? No. No, they fucking will not. I swear to fucking god, if this goes on for a few more weeks, someone will compare this racist bullshit to “weird” and lament at how both sides are coarsening the political conversation.
But this is who the right always is. They tamp it down sometimes but when they’re under stress? The hate comes boiling out. And right now? They’re under immense stress. This is what they do every single time they’re struggling during an election.
Willie Horton. Migrant Caravans. Black Lives Matter. Now we can add Haitians eating pets to the long list of racist Republican lies. And they KNOW it’s a lie.
Translation: I know the Haitian eating pets thing is a lie but this is the first time people seem to like me so keep spreading the lie!
Also, he’s lying about the kid being “murdered.” It was a car accident and the person was here legally. JD Vance is just whipping up hate against Black people because that’s what his base responds to. Naked, unadulterated racism and white nationalism.
This is what it looks like when the Republican Party is afraid. This is what it looks like when the Republican Party is losing. Two months ago they were screaming about inflation and the price of gas and groceries and the economy. Sure, most of it was lies but they were at least pretending to focus on actual issues. That’s because they thought they were winning and wanted to reach out to more than just their base of rabid racists.
Now? They’ve mostly abandoned all of that. Now, it’s just non-stop race-baiting and it’s going to get uglier every single hour until election day. Trump is out of control and even IF he manages not to piss his pants on national TV tonight, there’s very little he can do to alter the downward trajectory he’s on.
The GOP’s closing argument is not going to be “Vote for us, we’ll make things better.” It’s “Vote for us or the n*****s are going to come to YOUR community.” That’s where we are now.
Does that sound like a party confident of victory? The fuck it is.
That’s the sound of a party on the run and falling back on the one thing they know will motivate their racist, inbred, piece-of-shit voters more than anything else. Just like it has for the last 60+ years.
There are 55 days until the 2024 election. Vote blue because I am so sick and fucking tired of these Klan Kochsuckers. This is America. No kings. No weirdos. No fucking Nazi assholes. Vote Harris and Walz.

OK, you probably don’t LITERALLY come here for me to ruin your day. Unless that’s your kink then, hey, you do you.
If they’re looking for someone who would gladly eat the cats, look no further than RFK Jr.
Mr. Vance is not only weird, he's sickening.
Of course, they blame Haitians. I'm old enough to remember when Haitians were blamed for AIDS. I even know the truly awful joke on that subject, which I will not repeat.
We also know that Haiti is a nation that is black-ruled, the second-oldest independent country in the Western Hemisphere...and has suffered heavily under first the misrule of the United States Marine Corps, who operated Haiti as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the United Fruit Company. Marine Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler told us so in "War Is A Racket!" Don't argue with him: he received not one but TWO Medals of Honor.
After the Leathernecks finished fighting Haiti's "Cacos" and put them back in the fruit farms and sugar cane fields, the country was turned over to President-for-Life Dr. Jean-Claude "Papa Doc" Duvalier and his "Tonton Macoutes," which maintained order and corruption with machetes, mayhem, and murder. His son, "Baby Doc" Duvalier, continued that tradition, until a coup forced him to flee the country.
Since then, a parade of incompetents presided over further chaos, hurricanes, and a devastating 2010 earthquake. Once again, the Marines intervened, first to deal with Jean Baptiste Aristide, then the earthquake.
Now, the Nazis, the Russians, and the Bosnian Serbs killed a LOT more people than these Haitians, but Mr. Vance and his acolytes don't care about that...after all, the aforementioned murderers are all white, and some are even good Aryans!
And capitalists, in the case of the Nazis. Heil Krupp!
I hope this guy loses, just so he can become obscure again. Like Quayle, Pence, and Palin. Problem: Quayle won. So did Pence.
