the simplest and most depressing answer is that he's, in a relative sense, one of the least whacked-out token conservatives still active in networkland (see also: Vince Vaughn)
Who is Tim Allen blackmailing over at ABC that causes him to keep getting a sitcom?

Can double confirm. ICE vehicles were circling the Chinese immersion school in our neighborhood within the past hour.
Can confirm. My brother's boss had to leave a meeting because they're terrorizing her kid's daycare. This is just what passes for normal now in the cities.
Apparently ICE goons in multi-car caravans are circling Spanish immersion preschools in the city taunting and photographing the parents and neighbors who are patrolling the school perimeter to keep kids safe.

Instead, most US cities increased their police budgets: slate.com/news-and-pol...
"As with many policing outcomes, misdemeanor enforcement is concentrated in poor neighborhoods and in communities of color, exacerbating the racial inequity of their harms."
- But just keep talking over Black women! 🤡

Friendly reminder that this doesn't have anything at all to do with any policy (Trump doesn't care about that). This is PR work to soften the ground for a push to undermine elections and election results in November. The best way to cheat is to yell "cheater!" at your opponent first.
More from the party of federalism: "the states are merely an agent for the federal government in counting and tabulating the votes. They must do what the federal government, as represented by the president of the United States, tells them, for the good of the country, to do."

One of this country’s biggest mistakes was not stringing the confederates up by their ankles after the Civil War ended
Treat them the way the confederates should’ve been treated.
Anyway. Repeal the Hague Invasion Act, sign the Rome Statute, refer the entire administration to the ICC.

This is the wild part about the whole Trump experience, even when he says politically disastrous things, reporters rush in to fill in the blanks and steelman his arguments. As soon as they cut away from him saying “we’ll run it,” they cut to someone saying “obviously he didn't mean that.”
