This reflects one of the many flaws with the logic of people who thought Trump was only going to go after the criminals.

The thing about criminals is, they don’t follow the law. It’s in their interest to not be easy to find.

So, ICE, whose job it is to make Trump look good to his base by deporting brown people, don’t go after murderers or rapists, because that is hard and they’re barely qualified to begin with. They go after the people who are abiding by the law, whose exact legal status is unclear because our whole fucking system works against its own interests. They go against the people who are legal who Trump has stripped some status from. Because it’s easy to find them and they’re less likely to put up a fight.

Why? What other reading is there?

Two thirds of Americans voted Trump or didn’t vote. “Most Americans” don’t appear to give a fuck.

Also, “failing resonates with Democratic voters” does not have the makings of a great slogan.

We didn’t have 4/5 of state legislatures when we had Congress.

If they don’t get that it isn’t acceptable now, nothing is going to convince them.

I don’t get why failing even more would make the Democratic Party look good.

Do the people in these comment sections not grasp how Constitutional amendments work?

It requires two thirds of the Senate. Which Democrats have not had in the past half century.

That is why Democrats didn’t try it when they had a majority. Because it would not work.

People really just want an excuse to blame Democrats for everything.
