I remember reading all about how Springfield was covered in illegal immigrants burning businesses and homes, robbing trash cans, rating babies and kidnapping cats.

Some of that might be mixed up, but the again so was I considering I thought it looked rather pleasant with tons of people having fun outside as I rode my bike around for hours literally the same day I read the posts

Clearly the shady criminal underbelly is just cleverly concealed and the residents all work together to cover up the crimes that happen to them.

Then the friends I was biking with started getting flyers from various hate groups shoved into their mail telling them “immigrants and negroids aren’t welcome”

MAGAts sure do make the country a place I want to live in filled with hate, misery, and death…

Alright, I was NOT thinking “eating” was the word you wanted to go with.

It’s well documented that migrants cause less crime

Trump lies to fill the media with sound bites that rile up people. It’s a neat Russian trick of disinformation. If you’re not aware of this by now I have a bridge I want to sell you.

Get out and vote, people. Complacency got him in, in 2000. To be fair, the Dems didn’t help their case much back then either.

I lived in San Diego for two decades, including during the Trump presidency… All he did was endlessly claim the border was a crisis, often with clips from my city. It was so frustrating… It was always an easily disprovable lie, but his cult never cared to question any of it, even when my own relatives spoke talking to people like me that lived there. It’s just sad… Trump has brought so much hatred and division to this country, and to the families that live in it.

I can’t think of many things that would enrage me more than Trumpist relatives donsplaining to me how my home town they’ve never visited is a shithole.

TL;DR

Trump says, migrants caused a ‘surge in crime’ in a small Wisconsin city. Its residents reject that.
