I think it’s important to remember that these are craven, sad, pathetic people, and that it is a point of pride to not be one of them.

It is crucial that liberals (and their parties) stand in the breach and say frankly that immigration is a tremendous economic benefit for which there is no substitute. The public does not have to like immigration (though it ought to), it just has to prefer it to economic decay.
If it were steel works we would have a government bailout plan, yet losing thousands of jobs at unis is met with a shrug. & unlike steelworks universities were profitable when they had foreign students.

None of this is going to happen short of civil war.
Mass pardons are coming. There will be no accountability without treating those as null and void. And that means a future administration taking an official position that Trump is not the legitimate president right now because he is disqualified by the 14th Amendment.

NEW: When RFK Jr. first told Trump that Tylenol might cause autism, the president wanted to tweet out a warning. Kennedy told him not to do that. There was nuance, and the drug companies would push back. “I don’t give a shit about that,” Trump responded. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...
