Racist, but everyone is just making fun of it. “They’re rapists” struck a chord and fueled whole news cycles where the pearl clutching only spread the word. Eating the dogs and cats is a Tik Tok song meme everyone is laughing at them about because it’s so absurd and dumb. Granted it’s not been great for the residents of Springfield, but it’s a “Kamablah”-style rhetorical whiff I can’t see 2016 Trump making.
Do you really think this sort of smug, holier than thou attitude leads to fewer Trump voters? Arguably, all this blue MAGA moral purity has created a sense that “all these people are crazy” among low engagement voters, which helps Trump a WHOLE lot more than the NYT, which no non-Kamala voters in any swing states read to begin with.
