Springfield is the primary fictional setting of the American animated sitcom The Simpsons and related media. It is an average-sized, fictional city within an unknown state in the United States. The fictional city's geography, surroundings, and layout are flexible, often changing to accommodate the plot of any given episode.[1]
According to the creator of the series, Oregon native Matt Groening, Springfield was inspired by a number of real-life locations (including Springfield, Oregon, and West Springfield, Massachusetts).[2][3] However, in order to emphasize it as an example of "Anytown, USA", the location of the fictional Springfield remains a mystery.[2][3] "Clues" regarding Springfield's climate, geology, history, distance from real cities, or political alignment, which are found in numerous episodes of the series, are intentionally contradictory.[3][4]

I realize that it's a fictional town but the irony tying The Simpsons to the TRUMP campaign is just too much to ignore.
During the DEBATE last week The Donald made a statement about immigrants (Haitian's mainly) eating dogs and cats in the town of Springfield, Ohio.
THE NEXT DAY J.D. VANCE SAID HE CREATED THE STORY TO BRING THE IMMEGRATION PROBLEM TO THE ATTENTION OF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC.
This acknowledged fabrication has created a universe of HILARIOUS video material that is allowing hundreds of users to go viral.
Example:
Now, I am quite familiar with Voodoo ties to the Haiti population and don't doubt for a second that strange sacrifices are probably a part of their religion BUT I must remind everyone that animal sacrifices have a place in OTHER religions including Catholics The old adage when in "Rome do as the Romans do" should apply in reverse for this type of behavior.
I also have to recognize that immigration groups (which include you and me) brought strange practices to this country when they arrived and slowly adjusted their behavior to adapt in a more civilized manner while becoming naturalized citizens of America.
The fact that TRUMP supporters are now saying the PET EATING STORY is a TRUE STORY simply baffles my mind.
VANCE ADMITTED IT WAS NOT TRUE AND YET SPRINGFIELD, OHIO HAS HAD TO CLOSE SOME SCHOOLS BECAUSE OF BOMB THREATS.
Maybe the 20,000 LEGAL immigrants from Haiti that are helping to rebuild the town of Springfield after it's population went from 80,000 in the 70's to 60,000 today should start their own website and name it PETSNOWAY.
In the meantime.....watch the pet video's....THEY ARE REALLY REALLY FUNNY.
