So to you, Trump winning means voters are scared of clear language? To me it means they’re pissed. Pissed at institutions that have failed them for decades. And even people who voted for him in 2024 are souring fast on how immigration enforcement is actually being carried out, especially younger voters and Black and brown voters.
Also, I noticed you liked the post calling ICE’s actions fascistic. If that’s true, what’s the argument against abolishing it? How do you acknowledge that an agency is engaging in fascistic tactics and still argue it should continue to exist? And if you agree it should be abolished but think it needs to be messaged as reform, that’s the problem right there. People don’t trust Democrats to say what they mean or to mean what they say. It all reads as hedging. That’s a big reason Dems are in such a hole right now, especially with younger voters.
“Reform ICE” sounds like the same empty promise they’ve heard for years. Saying what you mean reads as honest. Hedging reads as dishonest.
The Democratic Party needs to stand the fuck up for what it believes and stop hiding behind an imagined middle that hasn’t existed for at least a decade. Democrats keep sanitizing their own conclusions out of fear of an audience that no longer exists.
