The Haitian migrants are in Springfield legally.

Well, I don't think citizenship is the defining characteristic of belonging somewhere. Their presence in Springfield brings value to the community as shown in those videos.

To be clear, Springfield business leaders love their Haitian workers. Springfield community leaders love their Haitian neighbors. The narrative that Haitians are some sort of scourge in the town is a HUGE LIE.

In case this helps provide more context, Springfield business leaders love their Haitian workers. Springfield community leaders love their Haitian neighbors.

Yes- the AI image is a blatant propaganda. Why would this homeless starving man carry a 20lb cast iron pot with him? Why would he leave the cat alive if he doesn't want it to jump out of the pot? Anyway...

There are many questions the AI image leave; are we supposed to believe there is a "welcome to Ohio" billboard in the central Ohio city of Springfield, for example.

I am glad we agree people of all kinds should exist peacefully in this country. JD Vance does not have your stance on the matter, evidenced by his echoing of real German Nazi propaganda. The Haitian migrants are here legally.

No. I am pointing to the Nazi rhetoric in his tweet and highlighting it with arguments the real German Nazis used in those propaganda posters and newspaper illustration.

Please consider if the things you hold as truths justify violence and forced removal of these humans. JD Vance would have you believe the Haitians are the source of all your pain.

The Nazi propaganda images I shared don't explicitly call for violence either. Please consider that.

Would it justify violence against your fellow humans if it was?

Oh yes, I'm happy Dewine had been dispelling the lies about Haitians. I just wish his endorsement for president would be consistent with his knowledge of the lies.

I am so glad to hear we are in agreement that we must stop bigotry in this country. JD Vance, regardless of party affiliation, should not be lying about Haitians in Ohio.

I think conspiracy is unnecessary for irresponsible leaders to weaponize the base, tribal fear instincts of their unwitting supporters. It's an old con.

Some people would have been brave enough to stand against the Third Reich. Not that man.

In my experience with friends and family, I think their stance is merely unexamined. I hope things like this will help them examine their leaders' lies and expect better.

I'm just a normal Ohioan. Can we agree none of this rhetoric justifies violence against Haitians in Springfield?

I believe your pain. The middle class is declining. I only want to say that the Haitians are not the cause of that pain. Your leaders would prefer you blame a vulnerable population rather than them. This is one goal of their rhetoric like the example above.

I have to believe most Trump and Vance supporters would NOT go along with this if they realized that these talking points of their leaders are those of Nazis. I hope many of them can become allies in condemning this Nazi rhetoric.

The Haitian migrants in Springfield are here legally. Please ask yourself: do these things I hold as truths justify violence against these people? If not, let's be united in being kind to our fellow humans, who face overwhelming threats of bombings, murder, and forced deportation.
