One difference to note here, for journalists who still find this difficult to parse, is that no one is going to walk into a synagogue or a Wal-Mart and slaughter people because they think JD Vance had sex with a couch.
The Haitian migrants pet-eating thing is... just totally made up, it seems? But every rightwing account thinks it's really hilarious.
In fairness, I also thought it was weird to laugh at the JD Vance couch thing, which was similarly fake.
Let's stop making up nonsense.
