It's so many miles or whatever, furlongs, removed from this.

And also the mask came off this weekend, this past few days, in terms of what their agenda is with Trump embracing re-migration, a term that's become popular on the far right in Europe to mean, and this is literally what it means and what Trump's implying with this is 53 million foreigners.

Not just stop people from coming, want to get rid of people who've come here, not just re-migrate.

People who've broken the law, but people who've come here legally, or people who are undocumented but haven't broken any other laws.

But even if they are documented, and they're children, we want to turn this country, we want to get rid of the impact of all these people, basically brown and black people, basically, in Europe and here.

who have come to this country.

And when Trump says 53 million foreigners, most of whom were criminals or public charges or sponging off the country, whatever he says in that one tweet, he's talking about, I don't know, he's talking about J.D.

Vance's in-laws, right?

He's talking about his wife, his wife just mentioned, and his own in-laws.

I mean, not that he cares, I guess, but it's grotesque.

I mean, it really is grotesque.

And the policy that follows from this understanding is depraved and so un-American, so anti-American.

The public has been good, actually, in its reaction, I would say, all things considered, given that they were genuinely concerned about the border and that Trump had a bit of an advantage on that issue to start with.

But it would be nice if Republican members of Congress and other elites spoke up a little.

It's not like business leaders don't have some say in this.

It's not like they couldn't raise this when they were at their black-tie dinners with Trump.

You know, it's not like others couldn't weigh in.

So I really I don't know.

Maybe it's to say one feels a little foolish sometimes just saying this over and over.

But things do change.
