True! If I had to guess tho I'd suspect its something like abortion, or low taxes vs safety net stuff Few carefully thought out comprehensive views, just emotive responses to various unsettling consequences one at a time

Bet you could get large majorities for anything ranging from open borders to almost no immigration depending on how the question phrased But people don't like seeing people in cages and they really don't like seeing dead kids

My sense is that Americans have learned to stfu about thoughts like that But globally that sort of thinking is pretty common (not necessarily *universal*, I’d guess 15-25% - enough to swing elections)

If you look at history of human atrocities and how people think / talk about these things globally, like, most people in most places (it seems to me - I’m probably oversensitive to it) have found a way to live with all manner of extrajudicial jails and death camps and so onpic.twitter.com/lsnVHlSlHh

My perspective is that American culture - significantly because of things like the legacy of slavery and the civil rights movement etc - has taught Americans to hide their feelings

It's a possibility. However, this point of view lends itself easily to a kind of political paranoia. Be careful going down that road.

Another foreign case and I'm sorry to use this example because you know But Hitler The death camps were secret, not celebrated Toward the end of the war they were racing to hide everything, at least at Treblinka Case 3: China is denying the Uygher camps at home and abroad
