If your origins are Southern Italian, Irish, Polish etc. some version of this claim - the immigrant is a criminal underclass incompatible with the true Americans - has been around forever. They hate that the idea of America is more important than any group.
Stephen Miller: "If Somalia keeps failing, if these societies all over the world continue to fail, you have to ask yourself if you bring those societies into our country & then give them unlimited free welfare, what do we think is going to happen? You're going to replicate the conditions they left"

I think the correct thing to do is run Democrats well matched to their districts. Run sewer socialists in blue cities, wine mom ordoliberals in suburbs, angry Blue Dogs in red-purple districts, Cato Institute types in Ohio Basin exurbs, and MGP in rural West Idaho

Yeah, losing the Exorbitant Privilege™ is probably the most catastrophic tail risk of this moment, short of like an American Failstate and an RFKlague
The end of dollar hegemony will transform U.S. debt from a fiscal drag into a high-yield fusion bomb.
For decades dollarization has generated structural demand for U.S. treasuries, depressing the interest rates the U.S. needs to offer to service its debt.

one thing that I think we really don't think about is if Trump fucks up America's macro privileges or role in the international system and Americans are forced to end up dealing with a economic system that doesn't allow for the same old fiscal fixes as before
