These hawk knuckle-draggers of the “sensible center-right” and “moderate” establishment are far more extremist and dangerous than the performative hooliganism of the Trump populist right.

It’s basically “let’s invade Mexico” because vials of cocaine and fentanyl are just jumping up the noses and into the veins of innocent unsuspecting Americans and this radicalism as policy gets taken seriously.

Everyone understands these policies will be ineffective in ameliorating the specific supposed threats and destabilizing for a thousand other unintentional reasons, but that is immaterial and they just don’t care. They know they will never get held to account for it if these policies get enacted.
