Texas has 2 million undocumented immigrants, Florida has 900,000. Minnesota has 130,000. Why is ICE making a theatrical farce there?
It's all reality tv from the appresident.

Nixon is one stupid person.

It has to do with consequences of policies, how many of the 2 Million in Texas are criminals, pretty close to 0?

Being a sanctuary state/city is why ICE is going into neighborhoods, because thats where the criminals are.

You invite clowns to your towns and then complain it's a circus when they gotta leave.

I think we have a lot of voters who vote against that which they are afraid of?

I don't imagine fear is why people vote for things. Immigration became a big issue, because people could see it in their home towns. All the MSM doesn't reach most Americans, you like to think it does, but it doesn't.

Do you? Do you vote out of fear? Who here votes out of fear? Or are you arguing its only others that vote out of fear?

Its a poor argument to make, as its illogical no supported by evidence. What you could say from a psychological perspective, is those claiming others vote out of fear are the ones afraid (projection), because its what they do.

You're saying the Democratic party doesn't use fear tactics to scare their base away from 3rd party candidates?

What is a fear tactic? Claiming Trump is the devil? This doesn't move 80-90% of the Democrats. Its only Lumpers here spurging on the piss yellow background that get excited about it.

I suspect, people can vote against something, but average people see through all the noise and vote for things that they want to see happen (more taxes, better schools, etc etc)

I am not a voter yet, but I will vote for things that in my opinion make things better for me and my community.

How many of two million illegal immigrants are criminals?
The Republican answer is: Two million.

Its interesting you don't comment on Krugman, you raise a point again and again and Krugman's position is you're completely wrong.

Anything to own the Republicans I guess.

Who? only political people would state this hurt someone running a poor campaign. They will state over and over again its the messaging.

But IMO thats not how the average person thinks.

IF you claim "willy horton" affected peoples votes, then you have to admit all the "Trump is Hitler", "Trump is a felon" is BS as well and just say it to scare people.

Is this the case?

said the terrorists had a first amendment right to terrorize people at worship.

You're saying some anon posting on a website with 40 users is affecting the outcome of elections?

Snoofy, you're a smart guy.

Is your google broken?

So you're saying I need to use Google for instance of a supposed "fear" tactic that changed an election.

Doesn't that alone discredit your claim?

Watch how much worse the next leading republican is treated than Trump was treated. Racist, homophobe, drug addict, pedophile, etc.

I don't doubt about the racheting up of the tactic. Doesn't mean it works in general for the populace.

Maybe the fear tactic is just affecting the 2-4% of "independents." and thats enough.

but regardless......what distinguishes me from most here is that I'm not afraid of what a president can take from me.

This is a sane response for the most part. But in WA and CA, and SFO, I am seeing the window opening on the discussion around confiscating unrealized gains. I suspect this will increase. I am more affected by my State laws than the Federal.

Eventually this window of discussion will open at the Federal level. Soon, Americans will be taxed on unrealized gains in some form.
