Donald Trump wants to produce Bumfights, For Migrants, and the mortified response from his allies is telling: Whatever polls say about the appeal of restrictive immigration policy, most Americans aren’t sadistic bigots.
This carries two reminders for Democrats: First, don’t fear Republican culture wars, because Republicans almost always over interpret narrow survey data to say the US is a hatful country, and roll out the red carpet for politically toxic people and ideas. www.offmessage.net/p/trump-bumf...
Second, Dems should see this as proof that tailoring their political vision to survey data is wasteful. Trump proves constantly that toxic ideas can be made to poll well with the right rhetorical gloss ( just call ‘em tariffs!). Use that insight for good! www.offmessage.net/p/trump-bumf...
