The numbers are not radically up.
They're a little bit up, I believe.
But it is performative.
You know, when you have the White House press secretary posting pictures of a deportation flight, those flights happened before.
It's just that Jen Psaki or Karine Jean-Pierre didn't post pictures of it on their Twitter feeds because, you know, whatever you think of them, they weren't sociopaths.
So I think this idea that you're going to brag about human being cruel to Brown undocumented, that is new and it is part of the rhetoric.
They know they can't deport 11 million people, though.
It can't be done physically, logistically, financially.
It cannot be done, right?
So they know that their best bet is to terrorize people into just leaving the country on their own.
That is definitely part of their strategy.
And you'll get the low information problem again where you'll get Trump voters who are farmers being like, but I didn't know he was going to deport my workers.
Remember the first time there was always stories about some guy going, I voted for Trump, but I didn't think he would be doing this to me.
It's always, you know, I didn't know he'd eat my face, the leopard eating party, you know, that meme.
That's going to be done again and again.
They interviewed an undocumented family recently.
I saw the post, I think it was the Washington Post, and they interviewed a guy, he voted for Trump even though his wife is undocumented and family members.
He goes, yeah, but...
He's not coming after my family members.
He's going after criminals.
