As thugs invade communities, storm job sites, courtrooms, and even elementary schools, and as children are ripped from their parents, a typical response is: "They should have come here the right way."
Hi Jared, you've produced a thoughtful, intelligent, well-researched column. But as the judge said to Vinny in "My Cousin Vinny", denied. I've replied to a number of Substacks with my compilation of RW disinformation media. Short version. People have been brainwashed- actual physical brainwashing - by the nonstop braying, mostly lies and out of context half-truths from the various RW media outlets. You're completely correct but we're well past the point of no return. And it isn't only immigrants. They are a target that allows the authoritarian government to target anyone. Any dissension will be quelled. We're done. I've been posting about this - I have little agency - for many years.
Still enjoy reading intelligent writing and appreciate your stuff.
People have been terribly misinformed. Breaking through those lies is difficult, but we can't give up. Polling shows the majority of the country is against Trump's mass deportations and ICE raids. His own approval rating is low.
Trump won the Electoral College by only ~230,000 votes. Small gains can have an oversized impact on our future. All it takes is a small fraction of people realizing the truth.
Vinny proved his clients' innocence and won their freedom in the end.
As always, thank you for the kind words and support.
I'm not giving up. And I worry that when I go abroad in the summer I won't be able to get back. The polls are useless, IMHO. If Trump had under 20 percent, maybe. And I don't believe we'll have elections - certainly not real ones - as early as 2026.
