It is quite extraordinary that an individual who said something like this should hold any elected office:

He supports “policies” that make sure laws aren’t enforced. And the only reason he gives for behaving so outrageously is that “everyone knows” these laws are “broken.” The language of a lisping, stupid airhead is combined with the neoliberal determination to dismantle policing.

It’s also fascinating how the word “community” is emptied of meaning and perverted. And how his actual voters – which the illegal migrants he’s talking about aren’t supposed to be – are completely disregarded. They aren’t a community. They are altogether absent. The only real communion happens around breaking laws and weakening the nation-state.

And still, people went and voted for this unintelligent ideologue. And they’ll do it again, refusing to see any connection between their own actions and the results of those actions.
