Wow. If you see any of the Republican commercials on the tv this morning you would think Attila and his bloodthirsty hoards are at the door ready to kill, rape and say bad things about your momma. Stay calm folks and vote for the Democrats so we can tone this nonsense down a bit.
Fear and Self Loathing are common Religious games! DO NOT fall for their Hate and Fear Retoric! Most People are Decent People just trying to survive in a World and Country that only sees Big Money as Good People! Vote Blue Save the Planet its just that Simple!
Here in Tennessee...which is about 1k miles from the nearest border with Mexico they keep running these Migrant Caravan Fear commercials against an incumbent b/c he said it's not a threat to our security. People seem to get caught up in the fear that it's a caravan of terrorists, gang members, and criminals that will run rampant through the USA and kill murder rape everything in their path. We have immigration, boarder patrol, FBI, National Guard, Homeland security, local state, county, city LEO...and if they have a bottle of Tequila in their possession, we can get the ATF involved. I mean the Continental Army led by Washington had nearly 200,000 armed and trained men. This is a caravan of 14k ?? citizens who probably only possess hand to hand weapons for self-protection (knives, machetes, etc., if they even have that). Do people think that the continental army would be a threat to our Army, Marines, Navy, Coast Guard, and Air Force today? I have to agree that I don't see the threat to our national security, or to them breaking into my home and killing me in my sleep. Does anyone stop and think anymore today...or are they just too wrapped up in the fear, hate, anger dopamine rush to examine what their political messiahs tell them?
Fear mongering is cheap, easy, and it works on some voters. I don't think it will be enough to save the Republicans in this election.
I guess the native rapists, mass shooters and such don't appreciate the competition. Immigrants are less likely to commit violent crime than the existing population.
That's the appeal to the culture of victimhood being made. It worked for Trump in 2016, so why would they change?
