Most conservatives are socially minded … the only difference is that they want all those socially minded ideas to only apply to their particular ethnic or racial group and no one else. To them, every other racial group should serve their social agenda for their people’s benefit.
You literally just described national socialism…
If you think about it, social democracy historically was also moreso for this purpose, although moreso citizenship based.
Throwing others under the bus is an easy way to turn racists into political allies. It was a popular strategy in the first rise of fascism for obvious reasons, for example the Greek party wanted to genocide Turkey to Make Greece Great Again. FDR’s coalition was put together under the premise that black people wouldn’t get the same benefits, etc etc etc.
It’s also why even the best kind of liberal can’t be trusted, much less your Newsome types
which is why it’s easy to make them erode civil rights, then they cry when their civil rights are eroded.
Trump’s social group would be super-rich white people. I can’t really see how Mamdani caters to that group unless he’s just lying about his entire platform.
We can end illegal immigration and deregulate minimum wage by issuing a standard baseline amount to all legal citizens
The only actual effective way to eliminate or at least drastically reduce illegal immigration is to make legal immigration easier, cheaper, and faster.
Should still do UBI, though, with price controls to make sure that landlords and corporations don’t just eliminate its usefulness by price gouging.
Considering they’re currently deporting legal immigrants, dreamers, and actual citizens, it was never about illegal immigration. The Democrats pretending like illegal immigration was an issue to take seriously and deporting more people than the Republicans never won them an ounce of support from the real racist base. It only normalized the Republican position.
it was never about illegal immigration.
Of course not.
The Democrats pretending like illegal immigration was an issue (…) only normalized the Republican position.

Here’s an idea: an economy that doesn’t just capture almost all money and power in a few dozen individuals, and instead actually incentivizes healthy societies and good governance
We could probably curb most illegal immigration by imposing harsh penalties for anyone found employing people illegally, but no one’s ever gonna go after the owner class. Not that I think it’s desirable to have fewer immigrants mind you.
why would we want to end “illegal immigration” when it’s a bullshit phrase from the start. all borders are arbitrary.
when the class loser desperately tries to get the popular kids attention in the school cafeteria
Eww eww I have seen this game before. It is like when someone explains slavery but uses the word citizen instead! Or when Orwellian is the secret corpo buzzword. Or the jolly roger is Ycombiner alumni suits.
A Trump meme? Really? This is fucking weird.
It’s due to the recent press with Mamdani
