I wonder if it has occurred to anyone at the Atlantic in this moment, that perhaps spending the past decade creating false equivalency between the avowed fascist movement on the right, and the college kids protesting fascists on college campuses was a mistake?

public perception says mainstream media is sensationalist, lusts for scandal, will make anything up to sell papers and get clicks etc.,
and then this particular president does like 10 scandals a day and mainstream media insists on describing his actions in the most uninteresting way possible

I’m going to keep hammering this point: the excesses of ICE we see now are entirely contiguous with our system of policing more broadly, and the reason that almost no politician wants to threaten real consequences for ICE agents is because it opens the door to making the same demands of the cops

This dynamic is basically unchanged in the decades I've followed US politics. The right raises a bullshit bad-faith objection, Dems try to change policy to address it, the right just repeats the bad-faith objection, Dems try again ... forever.
So in the end, what does this article amount to? Republicans are telling the same lie about welfare that they've told for 40 years despite consistent efforts — including many led by Democrats — to restrict and police it.
And in response, Democrats should restrict and police it even more.
