A competent opposition political party would cut together the footage of what ICE had been doing in the twin cities with Mike Johnson saying "ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do" and have it in ads all across the country
Mike Johnson comes out against additional guardrails on ICE as Democrats call for it.
“I think there's a lot of Democrats playing games right now with national security and with law enforcement. And I think it's dangerous. Ice is doing what ice is designed to do by its very name.”

This is a key point. "The times were different...Mistakes were made by people who were fighting for what they believed in." Everyone was innocent.
But everyone whose fortune didn't depend on slavery *knew* it was wrong. Every country to which the US liked to compare itself had abolished slavery.

The magic of "whiteness" is that the same people celebrating the heroism of white Union soldiers never have to ask themselves about which white ppl's actions required those Union soldiers to risk their lives, & for what ideas about racial justice many of them came to believe they were fighting for.
