I saw some people use this as their justification for voting for DeSantis before that petered out. Now they basically ignore how crass Trump is while every other word that comes out of their mouth is about "illegals." I try to talk to them about the push and pull cause of migration and how to mitigate that and their brain doesn't even register that "migrants" is another word for "illegal immigrants." Its stuff like this, the easy proliferation of old fashioned reflexive white people racism, that makes me lose a lot of faith in human progress. They don't want to listen to any solution other than the horrifying solutions barbarism offers.
I think most white americans (and sadly many non-white americans) have truly appalling political views, but these views only seem normal here in the USA, AKA Big Israel. Ultimately these people are probably not going to be convinced. They really will have to be fought violently.
