    Those who described Trump’s election as an extinction-level event have incentive to interpret subsequent events in a way that comports with that thesis. Often this leads to overlooking the ways in which problems (such as immigration abuses) are systemic rather than Trump-specific

        They also have incentive to do nothing to prevent problems so they can be proven right.

        Yes. But it also doesn’t make the thesis incorrect.

        Which can be an even more depressing fact, Michael. Ain’t giving up hope though, especially after seeing Steven Pinker’s talk with Stephen Fry. Also remember how many times Bernie lost before he won. Let’s GO, let’s DO this.👊🏻👊🏽👊🏾

        ...and how Trump’s presidency is bringing a new level of awareness to these issues (which is a good thing though)

        True. However, what this admin is doing right now is measurably more problematic and unsustainable relative to the past 50 years of domestic immigration policy. We rarely discuss the cost and inevitable expansion of active domestic military deployment/spending by consequence.

        Both things can be true. Systemic immigration issues exacerbated by specific Trump actions and policies. Bottom/line he has turned a problem into a quagmire .

        There are much larger, more important matters facing our country at the moment. This is a manufactured crisis. Of course, fascists need certain groups of people to direct hatred toward in order to get their supporters all worked-up.

        What is wrong with leveraging that misguided anger if it means people have woken up to real problems and real changes could be enacted? At this point if the right things can be done I don't care if it's for the wrong reasons.
