Noah Berlatsky engages the argument that Trump and Vance's vicious lies about Haitian immigrants are intended to distract:
"The turn to vicious, explicit racism against Springfield residents has coincided with Trump’s worst polling of the entire campaign. Is this a strategy of distraction?"

"Or is it an expression of Trump’s sincere obsessions, which he can’t convince himself to abandon even when it would be in his best interests to do so? ...
Trump promises his voters white supremacy because that is what he wants and that is what they want. He has other goals—certainly including oligarchy, patriarchy, tax cuts for the rich, and misery for women."

"But the GOP candidates embrace racism because they are the party of racism, and they want to create a more racist country. The chaos and terror in Springfield is a tactic, but it is also an end in itself."

@wdlindsy Questioning whether Kamala Harris actually worked at McDonald's is a distraction. But racism is a key Trump policy. #TrumpIsARacist
