Last month, I wrote about "Unhumans," a book by right-wing conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec (with a foreword by J.D. Vance). The book depicts Democratic voters as demon-possessed monsters on a mission to massacre everyone else in society."

"He is trying to stir up hatred. It’s the politics of hate that I wrote about in Hatemonger. He wants people to believe that all of their problems are due to immigrants, and to create this — you know, an environment that is extremely unsafe for immigrant families, mixed-status communities, people of color across this country."

@wdlindsy what really gets me is that some locals there are complaining that the cost of housing has gone up because of all the new residents. They’re blaming the renters and buyers and not the landlords and sellers who are long-time neighbors that jack up the price for a profit. Blaming the consumers instead of the capitalists for hoarding and gouging inventory.

"A campaign built on populist demagoguery has nowhere else to go especially when slipping in the polls. It is based on an 'us versus them' binary where the 'us' has to constantly be rallied and riled against the 'them.' Fear mongering and resentment—American carnage—is baked into the cake. And it will be served up nonstop between now and November—and perhaps beyond."

"Trump and Vance are lying about this fabricated allegation about immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, eating pets because their main goal is to generate the emotion of disgust toward a target group of people, to make immigrants subhuman. Straight out of the fascist, authoritarian playbook and a primer for violence toward that group."

Completely agree. W/ Trump, it's always about whether he can bring people to the heel of unfettered power.
The program he has in mind, once enough people have capitulated, is vile. "Mass deportations now," he has already told us, is going to be a "bloody story."
Trump Promises a ‘Bloody Story’
His latest comment about mass deportation are a revelation about how he feels—and a troubling reminder of the sources of his appeal.

@wdlindsy It makes me wonder who among their radicalized base (or leadership) are already eating pets, such that they would need to project that guilt onto a different group of people?

"This falsehood, directed at a community that has done nothing wrong besides being from a different place than the surrounding residents, shows how much the Trump campaign’s strategy hinges on polluting the information environment with lies about vulnerable groups that Republicans want to blame for the country’s problems."

The former president will believe anything—even wild rumors about immigrants killing and eating pets—as long as it’s cruel, politically expedient, and on TV.

Masha Gessen has written extensively on the role egregious lying plays in an authoritarian movement.
1. Firehose of Falsehood propaganda techniques
2. Building societal distrust
3. Growing a sense of impunity in elites
4. Creating information bubbles for a cult of personalityWhy Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin lie... and why they are so good at it
In a recent interview in Mother Jones, the political activist and Russian dissident Masha Gessen offers an important insight as to why Donald Trump seems so comfortable lying, even when he can easily be disproven. Trump does not lie because he believes what he is saying to be true â?" nor to change the minds of others â?" Gessen argues; he lies to assert power. â?oEvery time [Trump]

@wdlindsy kind of ironic when Trump endorser JFK Jr eats anything he finds out on the road, or beach, or carries it around in his car and finally dumps them in public parks.
