how much does it matter that there are people who got what they were sold as mass deportations (whether they didn’t get them, or did get them and worse) if we accept first that mass deportations are wrong no matter how popular they are

there is no moral universe in which someone who ran on QAnon and supported a coup is pro-democracy, and if there is, it’s worse than worthless
The pro-democracy movement needs to include factions which we disagree with vehemently on all other matters.
That’s the point of a pro-democracy movement—we aren’t aligned on the direction of our society, but we all agree we should have a right to contest it freely and fairly.
