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.
I’m a liberal who lives in Michigan and doesn’t want Trump as president. What the fuck are you talking about? My point is that people are resigning to the fact that he’s going to do it and that’s the wrong rhetoric. It’s constitutionally illegal and unacceptable and that’s where you should stand.
“We” are allowing this to happen, right now.
Dont try to minimize the issue. There is a real legitimate threat here, the checks and balances are failing right now.
