I did not expect Jill Stein to be dumb enough to say that she would pardon Trump for his crimes, but here we are. If you're still willing to vote green at this point, then just admit you don't care about actual justice.

The part I hate most about the Great Replacement BS is that immigrants don't, as a rule, become Democrats. They become Americans, and they'd become Republicans if Republicans didn't think scapegoating them was better business.
the predictable results of a bunch of Haitians immigrating to live in a small Pennsylvania town:
1) the town gets somewhat more Haitian
2) the Haitians get dramatically more Pennsylvanian
this just really isn't that hard

Trump is now smearing Haitians in the small town of Charleroi, PA in truly vile terms.
But the town manager tells me everything Trump is saying is a lie:
*Haitians aren't taking Americans' jobs
*No 2000% population increase
*No uptick in crime

It's much the same with the economy, which is somehow described as a winning issue for Trump. Hard to imagine it would be depicted that way if a Republican administration had tamed inflation, presided over low unemployment, real wage gains for low-income workers, and a record-setting DJIA.
It's amazing how little this seems to penetrate, alhough I've noticed that "crime" has been steadily plummeting in how important voters rank it as an issue in surveys
