The key distinction here is that most normies reject the idea that immigrants are a communitarian or civilizational threat. Trump and Miller are losing the country (per @jamellebouie.net) because that's far outside the mainstream. We can seize this moment to advance our own communitarian argument:
Miller is so extreme he is losing part of the American right: Joe Rogan "calls it “horrific” to arrest “normal, regular people that have been here for 20 years” in “front of their kids.”"
This articulation of what belonging and community means in America captures something fundamental:

It's not a question of politics or party. Congress has a constitutional obligation to impeach and to remove a president who commits high crimes and misdemeanors and forsakes his solemn oath.
And there has never been a president who has committed as many impeachable offenses than this one.
And there has never been a president who has committed as many impeachable offenses than this one.
There's a Hill bubble narrative, posing as savvy realism, in treating impeachment as some radioactive poison and so Democrats must squash any talk of it. But there's zero evidence for that. No polls back it up, nor recent history. It's all just pundit-brained conventional wisdom eating its own tail.

This info is only dropping because everyone involved was stripped of power and/or imprisoned and can't stop it.
This was all done in public by idiots so sure of their power they were convinced consequences would never come.

Remember: Trump or Russian propagandists might say otherwise, but Putin is not winning, and the Ukrainians are not losing.
I am told that internal Ukrainian army information shows that more than 26,000 Russian soldiers were killed or critically wounded in the month of November. Confirmed by videos. No wonder Putin wants to get Trump to give him territory for free

One reason we failed in the past is bc we didn't build up popular opposition to the crimes, whether it's torture or drone-killing or even attacking Congress.
Now is the time to do that, not after Dems retake power.

If Democrats are ever in power again what’s going to happen is the idea of holding this administration accountable for breaking the law every single day is immediately going to be made out as the greater breach of the rules.

It is true that no one has grasped this scope.
But there are ways to deal with it.
First, track the way that Kristi Noem is converting it to personal grift, like her propaganda campaign.
Next, illustrate how this is a funding shift, from things Americans like to body snatching they hate.
