This whole thing is racist, but take particular note of the threat of denaturalization. That's stripping people of their citizenship, and that's the road to mass murder and atrocity.
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

Trump makes the outrageous claim that “most” immigrants, which include over 25 million U.S. citizens, “are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels.”

As insulting as the “deplorables” comment, and on Thanksgiving day no less.

The Trump administration’s war on the Inflation Reduction Act embodies the horrors of Republican rule: a paranoid, lawless crusade waged by online ideologues who use their control over every branch of government to stoke culture wars, settle scores, and please deep-pocketed donors. trib.al/S7iLPWC

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

NARRATOR: That is very much not the oath they took
BLITZER: I want to be precise. Should members of the US military obey clearly illegal orders?

McCLAIN: You're asking an enlisted person for their opinion on what they think is legal. That's a pretty slippery slope. Follow your commander in chief. That's the oath that you took

Once more for those in back: What people think about Democrats isn't made out of what Democrats say. This (among so many things) is why winning a vote choice trial heat in a survey doesn't equate to winning an election.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.

Don't fall for it.

Meta paid $16 BILLION in taxes this year, thanks to the corporate minimum tax passed in 2022.

That's the corporate tax that Trump's IRS has quietly decided to stop enforcing.

If you want people to believe a different story, you have to tell a different story. And more than tell it. People learn by example. They must be shown the truth that, for example, immigrants are awesome, respecting other races is rewarding, working people generate our wealth, and so on.

This would at least been understandable
instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."
