On Tuesday, an official social media account of Donald Trumps 2024 campaign posted a racist meme implying that if Vice President Kamala Harris wins the presidency in November, nice suburban neighborhoods will be overrun with hordes of Black people and immigrants.
Import the third world. Become the third world, read the post on X, the former Twitter.Link to tweet
Side-by-side images ― captioned Your Neighborhood Under Trump and Your Neighborhood Under Kamala, respectively ― show a tranquil residential street and a 2023 Getty photo of recent migrants to the U.S. sitting outside New Yorks Roosevelt Hotel in hopes of securing temporary housing. (The Roosevelt now serves as an intake center for homeless migrants, and has been described as a new Ellis Island.) Most of the migrants in the photo are people of color.
Even as Harris and the Democrats shift to the right on border security and immigration issues, the Trump campaign has doubled down on racial animus and anti-immigrant sentiment.

That's the modern R(regressive) party, it's all they've got left and it shows the panic and desperation in the Been A Dick Donald/Vance campaign.
