Is most of American economic political discourse not built around returning to the mid-20th century economy?

A bit condescending no? :)
I have a political science degree. I’m fully aware of the definition of a constitutional monarchy.
There is not a real functional difference between an absolute monarchy and an authoritarian dynasty.

Authoritarian dynasty is the most annoying term in political science. A distinction without a difference from a monarchy.

We can have immigration enforcement without authoritarian chaos. Latinos shouldn’t live in fear of detainment or being told their passport is fake.

For starters, the trend began under Trump in 2019 as the labor market began to tighten. As for deportations; those were really high under Biden as well. The difference is that they focused on criminals rather than indiscriminate raids, removing legal status without cause, harassing Latino citizens.

“Never gonna pass” isn’t a good reason not to fight for things we believe in. Civil Rights was “never gonna pass” in 1955.

There isn’t a method of deporting 12 million people that is not massively disruptive for all of us.
It’s expensive, very possibly causes a recession, and is chaotic on a day to day basis.
And you’re asking my solution. If I believe it’s the best way forward then I’m gonna advocate for it.

I happen to know more than one doctor with at least one undocumented parent. You probably haven’t heard about that sort of thing because you’re a prick with no friends.

It’s amazing how y’all default to this rather than acknowledge that there is a path forward other than rank violence and chaos.
There’s a really great bipartisan bill in congress that offers amnesty to long time residents while securing the border.

Anyways - the entire point of talking about the information environment is that it doesn’t matter who has the best ideas or would run the country better or any of it. If one side controls people’s “realities”, then none of what you and I are saying even matters.

But yes - anti-left bias is not nearly as malleable as perceptions of the national economy. Heck…we are literally about to see 20-30% of the country change their opinion on the economy in the next few weeks as happens every election cycle.

So now we’re talking about generational propaganda? Like yes - I am fully aware of generations of anti-left propaganda but this started as a discussion of the 2016 and 2020 primaries. There’s not a succinct event or change that led to a majority of those Dem coalitions being not progressive.

But what could possibly be different about the voting patterns of the highest propensity most consistent voters and people’s perceptions of the national economy. They are probably equally malleable in a given moment in your mind.

I voted for Bernie in the last 3 primaries. I think Dems messed up royally in essentially erasing the 2024 primary and supporting Biden as long as they did.

For 4 years, people in POLLS said “my finances are ok. My towns finances are fine. My state is doing well. THE NATIONS ECONOMY IS TERRIBLE”. Guess which one of those 4 is determined by the news/social media rather than immediate surroundings.

“At random”
1) An election is not invalid because of propaganda. That’s not what invalid means.
2) I have decided that polling has shown for a long time that most democrats are not progressive even if I want them to be.
3) “At random” - I decided that the economy was misreported for 4 years

Or Dem primary voters are generally the more moderate crowd. That doesn’t mean even most Dems are moderate. But the most engaged voting Dems are more liberal than progressive.

As for Bernie vs Biden, the reality is that a majority of Dem voters will push the button for a more moderate option. I don’t like how Dems consolidated to a more moderate option around Biden, but it’s the truth of the party’s base.

There absolutely was politicking and propaganda in the 2020 primary? Who is saying that there wasn’t?
The point of saying that Dems got a lot of unfair criticism in 2021-2024 is to say that the information environment pretty clear is in control of the opposition.
