Before the election. A community note visible for 3 hours affirming it would do.

Any first gen immigrant, anywhere in the US and doesn't even have to be a pet.

I thought this was dumb whether it happened or not, but that it hasn't even happened makes it even worse for repulicans.

@NathanpmYoung So I googled around a bunch for this question and just learned about the Dog and Cat Meat Trade Prohibition Act of 2018. Am I the last one to hear about that one after a month of discourse? Because if you wanted to be maximally fair to Trump, he actually plausibly could take some amount of credit as the person signing it into law if none were eaten since. Though it was a bipartisan bill and Trump as far as I know didn't do anything else except sign the farm bill.

So... any first gen immigrant, anywhere in the US, and doesn't even have to be a pet?

Some dumbass grilling up roadkill counts?

Such a wide net, surely it will go YES.

@AlexanderMiller I'd say a right wing pamphlet doesn't count as widely trusted evidence...

I mean I might trust a good video whatever the origin but this is not a good video.

@Joshua it's not a good video indeed but I personally would also not trust just any video given the interest on making deep fakes as this is a controversial political topic

@Choms I think it's not that hard to spot a deepfake, that's not a big part of this IMO.

In any case, this market is incredibly broad and I imagine it's happened somewhere in the US in the last 4 years?

@Joshua I get what you mean but I'm sticking to the "trusted evidence" and "migrants" for my NO, probably someone (probably both migrant and US-born) has eat a pet in the past 4 years but I don't think there's actual evidence and much less evidence linked to a migrant status

@Joshua Yeah I imagine so too.
