Or that a complete jerkoff like Stephen Miller who has hated immigrants since he was practically a zygote was going to only get the "bad" ones?

It makes the racists cheer and keep voting for those idiots, so they can keep up the grift. The stories about only targeting the "bad ones" was never more than a fig leaf until the discussion has moved so far to right-wing extremism (or censorship and persecution of diverging opinions is established well enough) that they can drop the act. permalink fedilink source parent
