The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Fear and death threats; that's pretty much the entire Trump-Vance campaign...

For Jamie McGregor, a businessman in Springfield, Ohio, speaking favorably about the Haitian immigrants he employs has come to this: death threats, a lockdown at his company and posters around town branding him a traitor for hiring immigrants. ... A flood of threats was directed not only at him, but his family and his business.

They came by the hundreds — phone calls, emails and letters from white supremacists, neo-Nazis and other people they had never met.

“The owner of McGregor Metal can take a bullet to the skull and that would be 100 percent justified,” said one message left on the company voice mail.

“Why are you importing Third World savages who eat animals and giving them jobs over United States citizens?” another asked.

McGregor employs about 30 Haitians in his labor force of 330.

This is Trump's America: hatred and violence built upon a mountain of lies.
