The morning after former President Donald Trump repeated racist claims about Haitians in Springfield, Ohio, some Haitian families are keeping their children home from school for their safety, according to an area activist. Those who allowed their children did so, but with heavy hearts.
“She [my niece] was scared, but I told her to go, that God would protect,” said one Haitian resident, who asked that she not be identified publicly for fear of reprisal.
“We’re all victims this morning,” said the woman, who moved to Springfield six years ago. “They’re attacking us in every way.”
Aside from the anxiety caused by Tuesday night’s debate, the woman also said her cars have been vandalized twice in the middle of the night. She woke up one morning to broken windows and another to acid thrown on the vehicle. She’s added cameras to her driveway and tried to report the incidents to the police to no avail.

It feels almost trite at this point, but:
Wait is this real…? Are they saying the quiet part out loud again…? Screaming loud…?
What’s the context here?

Oof.
Thanks for the link. It’s one thing to be told “trust me bro”, and another entirely to… have context.
Yes it’s real
They’re attempting to desensitize people to the term and concept of domestic terrorist as well as to get conservatives to see domestic terror as their side
