i think it’s masterful distraction strategy that we’re discussing immigrants in Ohio eating pets as some abstract definition of racism instead of focusing on the *actual* issues caused by an unchecked border (national security and debt, employment, healthcare), and i think we’re all foolish to be falling for it.

I’d see this all the time when I worked in justice system policy. I think a big flaw in leftist tactics is not making moderates feel safe before proposing policy. Amygdala/primal fear overrides logic in most people so they don’t process logical arguments about long term consequences.

Alternatively we can make people feel more scared but seems like a path to more conservatism.
