Summary
A genuine backlash to Trump’s ethno-nationalist authoritarianism may be starting to take shape on its own terms.
The Washington Post-ABC News poll shows “Trump slipping underwater on immigration, which has been his best issue,” with 56% of independents disapproving of his handling.
Only 21% of independents want wrongfully deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia to remain imprisoned. These policies “raise basic issues of fundamental fairness, due process, and the rule of law.”
Trump’s lawlessness across the board is clearly a problem, reinforcing the view he’s engaged in rampant extralegal abuses of power.
…but surely centrist hacks with zero integrity who cede the framing of every argument to fascists are the future of the party!!
Definitely make every political move you do based upon focus groups and polling, because people definitely love sock-in-the-wind, flip-flopping political creeps with no actual values!
