Sounds OK on the surface, but what about the visa implications? How do we get these zealots into the country without ICE getting involved and gumming up the works?
This article reminds me of a cartoon I recently of American agents being coached on how to say that anyone killed by law enforcement was a terrorist and the like. The instructor was Israeli.
The point is that there is a certain sector of the anti-Trump coalition that is willing to say anything in service of demonizing Israel. As long as the mainstream of the Democratic Party takes a see-no-evil approach to that group, there will be a sector of the electorate that finds the Democrats worse than Trump, many of whom support the Democrats over the Republicans on almost every domestic issue. As to The Bulwark's coverage of that sector, I have yet to hear an episode of Rhe Focus Group dealing with it.
Really good article and thanks for the points. I work for a big insurance corporation in Connecticut and I have been posting inside about Trump’s lawlessness and his negative effects on our economy for a while now. It can be tricky to stay within the bounds of ‘work speak’ but I like concise writing and my job includes editing down long-winded sentences. Inevitably, one of our employees in Minneapolis posted a blog. This is not my first ‘appearance’ on the company’s internal pages but I’m getting way more ‘likes’ and supporters than before. Thanks for pointing out that the rhetoric out of this White House is no different from what we’ve been hearing from the taliban, or the ayatollahs.
