I find his base to be largely split on this issue. There’s the bleeding hearts who cry for amnesty (Sky Daddy bless their souls) and the at best ambivalent and at worst lipstick racist others.
The part of the base that this anti-immigration move will anger is the same part of the base that's already angry about the genocide.
It's like he's trying to piss them off specifically and as much as possible.
If the part that’s going to be pissed off is less than what could be won then is the risk worth taking? Some campaign manager must have thought so or this appeal against his own base is a terrible gamble.
You'll blame them if he loses.
Nah I’ll blame everyone else, I wasn’t counting on them anyway.
