    I remember reading all about how Springfield was covered in illegal immigrants burning businesses and homes, robbing trash cans, rating babies and kidnapping cats.

    Some of that might be mixed up, but the again so was I considering I thought it looked rather pleasant with tons of people having fun outside as I rode my bike around for hours literally the same day I read the posts

    Clearly the shady criminal underbelly is just cleverly concealed and the residents all work together to cover up the crimes that happen to them.

    Then the friends I was biking with started getting flyers from various hate groups shoved into their mail telling them “immigrants and negroids aren’t welcome”

    MAGAts sure do make the country a place I want to live in filled with hate, misery, and death…

    Trump lies to fill the media with sound bites that rile up people. It’s a neat Russian trick of disinformation. If you’re not aware of this by now I have a bridge I want to sell you.

    Get out and vote, people. Complacency got him in, in 2000. To be fair, the Dems didn’t help their case much back then either.

    I lived in San Diego for two decades, including during the Trump presidency… All he did was endlessly claim the border was a crisis, often with clips from my city. It was so frustrating… It was always an easily disprovable lie, but his cult never cared to question any of it, even when my own relatives spoke talking to people like me that lived there. It’s just sad… Trump has brought so much hatred and division to this country, and to the families that live in it.

      I can’t think of many things that would enrage me more than Trumpist relatives donsplaining to me how my home town they’ve never visited is a shithole.

    TL;DR

    Trump says, migrants caused a ‘surge in crime’ in a small Wisconsin city. Its residents reject that.

      Oh, like you would jokingly expect it to be Canadians because Wisconsin is on the border with Canada, but the idea of a bunch of Canadians apologizing as they commit a physical tidal wave of crime is surprising?

    Republican National Committee spokesperson Anna Kelly, speaking on behalf of the Trump campaign, did not directly respond to the Whitewater officials’ repudiation of Trump’s claims, but said “Local officials in communities across the country have sounded the alarm about problems caused by Kamala Harris’ open border.”

    Please provide the names of the local officials and list the evidence they provided to support their claims. I’m sure such a request would be met with silence, but even if this Anna Kelly person did provide the names of some MAGA zealots who would make these claims, I am quite certain that any evidence they provided would be of the sort Trump’s people have provided to support his claim that he won in 2020, that is to say, non-existent.
