What's going on with the ICE raids and other immigration issues is one of the best weapons
the Dems have to use against Trump, and it seems they don't realize that.
Remember the Time Magazine cover of Trump facing down the little girl? That had an enormous impact with the public and actually caused Trump to back down somewhat in his first term. That kind of stuff resonates with decent Americans.
Now the actions during this term are significantly more concerning, brutal and alarming than before, and yet there doesn't seem to be half the outcry or push back now, vs what we saw back then.
Consider some of the outrageous things going on;
People without criminal records being rounded up and sent to a maximum security prison in a country run by a dictator. People without criminal records imprisoned for ridiculous interpretations of tattoos
A landscaper with no criminal record and father of three U.S marines charged at by masked men with guns drawn, and beaten by them.
Law abiding farm workers chased through fields by masked agents
Students being virtually kidnapped off the streets.
People being deported for having memes making fun of the administration
Mothers with citizen children being rounded up.
Citizens being harassed because of their last names or brown skin.
The list goes on. This is powerful stuff if it's gathered together and presented to the people as a powerful admonishment of an administration run amok and consumed by cruelty.
Yet Bannon's strategy of flooding the zone with shit seems so effective, no one can mount a successful resistance, because they're not sure which direction to turn, or where to mount their efforts.
Meanwhile this stuff just gets worse.

I was always sure RWers were belligerently ignorant a-holes, but I did not expect to see so many mesmerized into supporting anyone who pulled these blatantly unconstitutional moves. That includes the Extreme Court with their immunity BS!
