Top recommended on my feed was NYT article headlined "largest immigration surge in US History" under Biden. That was their top number one story today. Suggested both that it was a key factor in Harris loss and that it has already ended because of Trump election
If it wasn't so tragic it would be amusing to see the bourgeois factions stumble over each other. The parties had their obvious policies and they made a certain twisted sense for a time.
Now that none of it has worked, they're both running out of policies and simply stealing the other's lines. You can see the visceral confusion in the demi-gods and priests of capital and in the faithful.
It's the same across the western world, as the 'left' parties are unanimously trying to out-compete the 'right' on immigration. The politicians and pundits are tripping over themselves and each other. They just don't know how to frame it.
Who now is the baddy and who the goody? If we all agree that immigration is bad, does that mean the baddies are now the goodies and are the goodies now the baddies because maybe being a racist isn't the best look.
Major policies have been swapped before. It's like light through a prism and the right colour is distilled and purified. The GOP takes up anti-abortion and we now see the result of that policy-swap once it becomes the platform piece. Fuck knows what horrors we're in for when all the 'left' parties steal and horde the anti-immigrant policy as the right abandons it in favour of 'more imported servants, please'.
