just occurring to you now? Tell me, what was your first clue?
Democrats are having a lot of revelations lately. The big one was maybe we shouldn’t have lied about President Biden’s competence for four years. But the latest one is maybe we moved too far left on immigration. The problem is that even having recognized this was a mistake it’s not clear the party can backtrack now. There are some progressives who are fully committed to the idea that border control is racism and they aren’t willing to give it up.
I honestly don’t know how they can backtrack at this point. It seems like the die has been cast.
So what comes next? For the moment, Democrats are stuck. Their base wants total resistance to Trump on this front, if not outright violence. They have no way to tone this down at this moment. They are stuck being against border control for the next three years.
