I don't like these comments because it isn't only ignorant, it actually derails one of the in roads we have to engage his base. There's always die hards who will go down with the ship. But politics is all about fence sitters. Hell the whole fucking reason people protest is to raise awareness. Who do you think that awareness is for?
Derailing people who are pointing out that yes there are Trump supporters that hate these decisions only makes it harder to remove it at the end of the day for what benefit? To dunk on them?
Every right leaning group i go to I am seeing more and more staunch republicans and MAGA already laying roads to peel the fuck out. The algorithms are being weighed to the left again finally.
Also not wanting illegal immigration is not a crazy concept. The problem is it's propaganda they're buying telling them regular legal immigration is illegal.
By definition, everyone is opposed to illegal immigration, though they might differ in opinion about what immigration should be illegal.
Opposition to "illegal immigration" is practically always just a fig leaf for opposition to immigration. You can verify this easily by asking an opponent of "illegal immigration" whether they think legal immigration should become easier to reduce the incentives for illegal immigration. My counter for those who have answered in the affirmative is currently at zero.
How many have answered in the negative?
I'm not certain. I created a database to keep track of the number, but had to abandon the project due to the prohibitive cost of maintaining it.
