    When the Dem leadership started embracing Trump's immigration policies, they took a huge chunk of their liberal base with them. First, it was fascist to support Trump's policies and only conservatives supported them. Now, libs joined them because they have zero principles, they can't even keep up the pretense of opposing policies that they themselves labeled fascist barely 4 years ago.

      I'm not crazy and remembering something wrong, right? Immigration was a huge issue in 2016, a big thing being talked about. But I don't remember even ONCE Hillary trying to outflank Trump from the right on immigration.

        She didn't

        But like many other issues, Dems 'let' Conservatives push everyone right

          Well, also, 40 years ago NAFTA wasn't a thing, so the people who are now bloodthirsty maniacs were then stably employed and had no practical reason for their hate.
