Why 'Comrade Kamala' memes are spreading among Latino exiles

… historically, Latinos have tended to favour the Democrats. ..But polls suggest Republicans have gained ground this election cycle, with many factors cited including the economy, immigration, and abortion rights.

…

Elon Musk, who has endorsed Trump, posted a faked image of Kamala Harris in a red uniform emblazoned with the communist hammer and sickle, captioned “Kamala vows to be a communist dictator on day one. Can you believe she wears that outfit!?”

…

Posts linking Harris to communism really took off online after the presidential debate, according a report by the DDIA prepared for the BBC.

During the debate, Donald Trump called Kamala Harris and her father a “Marxist” and suggested she would turn the US into “Venezuela on steroids” through her immigration policies.

After the debate, “Marxista” trended on social media and searches for "Marxist" on Google in the US jumped 1000% in 17 hours.

…

Kamala Harris’s plan to crackdown on “price gouging” at supermarkets has been cited in Spanish social media posts as “communist”. …

Her proposal, which would involve asking the trade commission to investigate price spikes far above the increase in the cost of production, is a far cry from the widespread price controls seen in Cuba and Venezuela that were in part blamed for severe food shortages.

But for some voters who fled those countries, their fear lies in anything they feel remotely resembles policies from the countries they came from.

Duke Machado, who runs a Latino Republican Facebook page from Texas called Latino Strikeforce, said he fears that if the Democrats win, the country would be on a slippery slope to communism.

“If we’re not careful, we’ll slide into Cuba and Venezuela. Their ultimate goal is to destroy capitalism."

Dear BBC...its called satire, idiots.

Harris and Meghan Markle have a lot in common.

They’re both dictators in high heels who’ve used men to get where they are.

Worth noting that Zelenskyy was flown to Pennsylvania on an U.S. Air Force C-17.

The Biden-Harris admin is using military assets to fly a foreign leader into a battleground state in order to undermine their political opponents.

Zelensky is now touring ammunition factories in Pennsylvania and attacking President Trump and JD Vance in American media outlets.

A foreign leader is essentially campaigning for Harris on American soil.

“Thankfully, Hitlery lost then.”

Mostly because “they” hadn’t realized that their cheating efforts were sorely lacking. They learned their lesson in 2016, and we never will have another NON-RAT/Commie inaugurated.

[MayflowerMadam]

“In the words of the GREAT TAMPON TIM WALZ.....’We CAN”T TAKE 4 MORE YEARS OF THIS’!”

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing when he said this. It might be the first time the douchebag ever has told the truth.

“Amazingly, Arizona was called for Biden after only 10% of the vote had been reported.”

By Fox News, on orders from Paul Ryan, no doubt.

[MayflowerMadam]

“I think Trump is on course to win in November. But he will need the help (or abstention) of a lot people that voted for Biden-Harris in 2020.”

I don’t understand people who think that voters’ votes will result in Trump being inaugurated. “If it isn’t close they can’t cheat.” is cute, but it isn’t true. It wasn’t close in 2020, yet here we are.

“Harris and Meghan Markle have a lot in common.

They’re both dictators in high heels who’ve used men to get where they are.”

And they’re Halfricans.

...or the gentler: COWBIRDS

Brown-headed cowbirds are brood parasites;

 

.

.

.

 

 Following the constantly roaming herds, cowbirds couldn’t expend the time for nesting, but rather laid their eggs in host nests as they moved along, leaving host parents to raise their eggs to adulthood. As people began to disperse across North America, clearing forests and expanding domesticated livestock herds and agricultural production, the cowbird range expanded also. Nest parasitism enabled brown-headed cowbirds to quickly establish new populations and expand their distribution across the country.

Impacts

Brown-headed cowbirds parasitize the nests of more than 220 bird species in their range. Each cowbird can lay up to 30 eggs per season and usually lay 1 or 2 (or occasionally more) eggs in each host nest. When parasitizing nests, they often remove the egg(s) of the host bird. Brown-headed cowbird chicks usually hatch sooner than the host chicks, are larger, and develop faster. Their larger size and persistent behavior gains them more care from the host parents. Nest parasitism lowers the reproductive success of host birds and has led to population declines in several bird species. In California, the riparian songbirds least Bell’s vireo (Vireo bellii pusillus) and willow flycatcher (Empidonax traillii) are listed as endangered due to loss of riparian habitat and nest parasitism by brown-headed cowbirds.

Actions Taken if Found

If you observe this species in California, please report your sighting to the CDFW Invasive Species Program, by email to Invasives@wildlife.ca.gov, or by calling (866) 440-9530.

fTA: “ These expats are especially vulnerable to misinformation about communism because of the trauma they experienced”

What misinformation? She’s a literal commie. She wants to fix prices. That’s commie 101. She wants to censor ideas snd facts she doesn’t like. She wants to ban guns from people she chooses. She wants to enter homes to “check” if following her edicts. She believes children belong to the state.

She is a commie.
