"We're going to blame immigrants for all our problems and then also engage in conspicuous crackdowns that will terrorize entire regions' Hispanic communities, citizen and noncitizen alike" is how you get a national Prop 187.

My other other conclusion is that "outfit recycling" should be the highest badge of honor in fashion and so we should STOP complimenting people for new clothes and START complimenting people who wear the same thing again.

We had tons of evidence that stopping MAGA's obviously very extreme insanity on immigration could have been a winning issue for Dems if they'd gone on offense on it in 2024. But now there's hard electoral results, too. More strong datapoints negating the "Dems must move right to win" crowd.
This is pretty amazing. This guy just won a solid victory in Bucks County, PA, one of the most important swing counties in the country, by *explicitly and deliberately* making his race *all about* nationalizing ICE raids. Confirms the point about this now being a winning issue for Dems.

Various group-philosophical pessimisms will have you believing that universalism is impossible, not worth striving for. That if you don't oppress, you will inevitably be a victim. I refuse. We are best protected by democracy, by the rule of law, by human and civil rights.
