One of the most important things to keep in mind if you want to understand the American right today, especially the people leading the federal government and its allied media outlets, is they believe their own BS.
They really are in a bubble, and genuinely surprised when reality does not comport.

To those saying “nuh-uh, ICE picked Minneapolis because they WANTED the city to rise up as one against them” -
no, pretty sure they expected a scattering of blue-haired protesters they could easily crush for content + tacit support from other whites, not the organized total resistance they got.

ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.”
it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

I genuinely believe mainstream democrat string pullers have STILL not grasped how far right they are, compared to the people they consider their “base”
The problem with ICE agents isn't their training, it's their existence.

Hey so you gotta refuse those orders bro
About 1,500 soldiers w/ 11th Airborne Division in Alaska have been placed on prepare-to-deploy orders with a mission in Minnesota in mind, defense officials tell me tonight. Unclear if some or all of them ultimately will go.
News reported tonight by ABC News, too.

“They're going to lose their immunity. They're not going to be able to drive. I will take your driver's license. Good luck walking to work, assholes.”

What's funny is one of these is actually explicitly the case, but the nerve center of modern colonial-capitalism trains its denizens so effectively to doubt reality it's reinvented doublethink from first principles.
I think the disconnect between Atlantic elites is that Americans think Donald Trump is a kid getting to drive a monster truck for Make A Wish and Europeans and Canadians think Donald Trump is the president of the United States.

When I lecture to students about how the apparently thriving economy of the 1920s was really a house of cards just waiting to be knocked down, one of the points I stress is how much a small number of the very rich were essentially propping up consumer spending in unsustainable ways
The top 10% now account for nearly half of all consumer spending.
