So, I’m thinking it might help Kamala to get some static from BLM.

After the honeymoon:
“…
Trump and Republicans won’t be content to simply paint Harris as the flip side of the same coin but instead as a unique threat — a politician even more liberal and out of touch with mainstream values than her VP record would suggest.
For a taste of that onslaught, check out the videoPennsylvania Senate candidate DAVID McCORMICKposted last night, using a laundry list of positions Harris adopted during her 2019 presidential campaign to slag incumbent BOB CASEY (D-Pa.).
They include her support for the Green New Deal, a ban on fracking, the decriminalization of illegal entry by migrants, “starting from scratch” on Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, restoring felon voting rights, adopting mandatory buybacks for some guns, eliminating private health insurance and more.
These are the views, of course, of a Democrat who joined a rush to the left during a presidential primary that looks incredibly ill-advised in retrospect to many in the party — including Harris, we suspect. Some of her former aides admit she was struggling to find footing in a party that, at the time, appeared to be moving sharply left.
But the comments are there, on tape, and she can expect to be pressed on whether she still subscribes to those views.
We’re told Harris’ team is still working throughhow they’ll respond to those attacks. But her practice over the years has been to let her more recent work speak for itself, so expect her to try to refocus questions about those past views as a senator and a candidate onto the work she has done as VP over the past four years. …”

Hell, his wife isn’t even an immigrant. Further laying bare that it’s not legal vs illegal that drives most of the immigration “enthusiasm” on much of the right.

It's more about the color of the skin than legal vs illegal. See Melania as exhibit A.

here are some facts for folks like cal to consider...

Trump's 'escalation' of lies torn down by brutal fact-check from ex-Treasury official
Among the most egregious lies that Rattner highlighted are: Biden only created "bounce-back" jobs from the COVID-19 pandemic (his job creation has consistently exceeded Trump's even excluding COVID-19 recovery); that the cost of food has "doubled or tripled" (it's up 21 percent); that Trump passed the "largest tax cut in history" (Presidents Reagan, Truman, Lyndon Johnson, Obama, and Harding all passed larger ones); that Trump had America on track to be "paying down debt" (he increased the federal deficit); that his tariff plan will not raise prices (it will); that the U.S. has spent $100 million more on Ukraine defense than all of Europe combined (it's the opposite); that Americans are being "squeezed out of the labor force" by immigrants (there's a shortage of American workers); and that crime is going up (it's gone down every year Biden's been in office).
Perhaps one of the silliest claims, Rattner said, is Trump's insistence Biden is "the worst president ... in the history of our country." While this is to some extent a matter of opinion, he noted, "A recent survey of more than 150 current and former members of the presidents and executive politics section of the American Political Science Association put Mr. Trump dead last, behind James Buchanan (tarred with allowing the Civil War to begin) and Andrew Johnson (impeached, like Mr. Trump, and nearly convicted). Mr. Biden was ranked 14th greatest, just above Woodrow Wilson and Ronald Reagan."

I get the angle vs Trump, but I worry some about Kamala leaning too heavily into the “I’m the prosecutor” theme.
