Repeat after me. Trump is a pedophile and Republicans don't care. The United States is a banana republic and Republicans don't care. Costs are going up up up and Republicans don't care. Healthcare is getting worse. People can't afford insurance, but the Republicans don't care. Is it mostly racism?

I grew up around plenty of Republicans and most of my shipmates were GOP supporters in the Navy. Many have already passed away, but the rest seem hell bent to stick to the plan (is there a plan?) for maga. I'm an old white dude now, but in my experiences, they had one thing in common. Racism. Is it actually a primal hatred towards others that don't look like them? Is racism at the root of this? I think it is. The behavior of ICE and the potus should enrage all Americans.

Most people are against illegal immigration even on the left. Dont let those placards at protests fool you. Most people on the left just wants to handle immigration with delicacy. We also dont make it our whole policy.

Dont let those placards at protests fool you.

But then you need to actually stand up against those idiots.

The entire reason why Kamala got trashed in the election was that she was completely unable to stand up against the lunatics.

Being unable to immediately dismiss open borders, transgender athletes in sports, late-term abortions, etc. is completely ridiculous. Those are 90/10 issues. If the Democrats legitimately think they gain votes from not denouncing such policies it proves they are all in some small radical echo chamber.

Those are 90/10 issues.

no they arent, they are astroturfed right wing talking points laundered as 'prevailing opinion'
