The difference between Biden and Trump on immigration is that Biden gave his base exactly what it wants while Trump didn’t. Biden’s base wants no borders, and it’s got no borders. Trump’s base wanted a wall and a dramatic reduction in immigration, and it’s got… no wall, no borders, and a dramatic increase in immigration.
This happened because Biden’s base is tenacious and active. It has been aggressively protesting the non-existent “Gaza genocide” for months, wrangling out all sorts of extraordinary concessions from terrified politicians. Trump’s base, in the meantime, is weak and passive. It accepts vague fairytales about “the Deep State” and “the swamp” and lets itself be duped again and again.
The actively evil always defeat the passively sweet. Yesterday, there was a large pro-Hamas protest that bullied Biden on his way to give the State of the Union address. On our side, we have an actual, real grievance – the murder of Laken Riley but all we got was the embarrassing MTG turn Laken into a joke with her clownish performance. As a result, the Hamas lovers squeezed a whole port out of Biden. And we wrangled out … words. Biden “said her name”, which we are supposed to see as some sort of a symbolic victory.
We don’t get any real victories, so we have to settle for symbolic ones.
