That’s the messaging, sure. But I think maybe they do want more illegal immigration since that’s one of their winning issues. And it’s a useful excuse to build a secret police force whose ultimate purpose will be to go after dissidents.
I don’t think they generally think that deeply. I think they really do want less illegal immigration (and less legal immigration, and the expulsion of all non-white, non-fundamentalist-Christian people) because that will create the “unified, blessed” nation they believe that they need to have.
That said, they aren’t concerned about dealing with either of those issues rationally or efficiently. It’s moral, not policy. “Impure” people who enter our “pure” nation are evil and must be thown out so we continue to have the favour of our deity (I refuse to write capital-g god here out of respsect for actual, loving Christian doctrine, as rare as it is). You deal with moral violations with exile and shame, not with compassion, wisdom, and welcoming.
Trump doesn’t even get that deep. “How does this play in the ratings? (and secondarily, how do I look?)” That’s it. It’s why he likes Mamdani in person—he gets ratings.
You’re projecting competence. That plan is about 4 layers too deep for them
They have no plan to survive the midterms, let alone stabilize their rule. They’re not even deporting more people than Biden was, the bottleneck is still the number of judges. The ICE facilities are all full
The plan is, give right wing terrorist groups guns and tell them to get wacky with it. Oh, and make sure we get some tik tok footage
It’s all that straightforward.
Did you know we accidentally invaded Mexico a few weeks back? Like, full on beach assault style. And then sheepishly packed up when the “fog of war” cleared
The master plan isn’t project 2025 - that’s a wishlist from crazy Technocracy people
No, the master plan is to loot the government and get away with it by earning favors from the oligarchs
The cabinet has already sold their homes to live on military bases… Does that sound like a long term plan? Or does it sound like a rat waiting for a good time to cut and run?
