It has not.

Hell, we can do a poll here: Trump voters after a year of deportations and related incidents, are you now against mass deportation?

Me: Not a fricking chance; full steam ahead. Deport em all.

I knew the media would do this and people would freak out. Trump admin needs to just keep going. And the next Democrat to run for president will not be calling to abolish ICE. So that really tells you the whole story.


Yep. It’s their playbook.

The next Democrat will pretend to be for “reforming and reducing ICE while maintaining border security.”

This board is a solid right echo chamber for the most part, which is fine. I don’t want a ton of annoying democrats on here.

But to act like this place accurately portrays the sentiment of the middle is not accurate.

Uh, it hasn’t been “flipped” at all. Zero minds have changed.

sure, I understand that. But the vast vast majority of people who voted for Trump voted for mass deportations. You’re suggesting a year later, that’s drastically changed. So even here, we should see a shift in support for mass deportations? No

And do you honestly believe the polling company in the article you linked used a fair and representative sample?

The country won’t be fixed, in the sense of dismantling the leftist infiltration and control of the government apparatus, all the way down to the local level in these blue cities (and coming for every city and town that matters), with democracy.

These past few weeks have proved that to me.

We won't know until the mid-terms, but I don't think much has changed for most Trump voters.

CNN literally ran a big segment yesterday on how 60% of people are in favor of deporting ALL illegals.

GTFO with your gaslighting

No, a 60/40 issue flipping to 40/60 isn’t a massive flip of solid Trump voters. It’s a flip of the moderates and a small amount of Trump voters.

The large majority of Trump voters are still solidly for massive deportations.

But that’s not what drives winning. Moderates drive winning.

Demo’s know the play book - get 1 mentally ill idiot loner to quit his job and become a foot solider and get shot and killed and sway narrative - continue on with the fraud and put some money in my bucket. Played like a fiddle.

Agreed. Civil War is inevitable when things get really bad. Right now everyone is still too comfortable. We’re not close to it.

The country is too divided. Whichever side comes out on top will control the US.

Where's your proof of that? a majority of the country voted exactly for this.

Nope. You’re being misled yet again by the media. The vast majority of Americans are sick of the protests and blatant lies from the left. Republicans will lose the midterms because the majority party always loses at midterms. It is not an indictment that the country has changed its mind on illegal immigration.

Ignore the media and the TD Moderates (prime example here^). Just like the Petti and Goode incidents shifted public sentiment on immigration, it’s just as likely, if not more likely, that between now and the midterms, an illegal immigrant will rape and/or murder an innocent American. Or that one of these protesting leftist nutjobs will open fire on law enforcement. And when that happens, the sentiment will swing right back.


It feels dark even typing that out, but it’s reality unfortunately.

dems are just moving the goalposts of outrage to messaging they can actually manage.

They supported open borders and got shellacked at the polls. So now, they will move onto complaining about the way immigration is enforced. Which is hilarious because none of them can articulate what's changed in the manner of enforcement tactics. Meanwhile, all the data shows the current surges are more successful, safer, and more accurate than the Obama raids.

you see this in almost every thread on the OT, “Sure Obama was deporting thousands, so what’s the difference now….”


As if it’s a clapback, when in reality it’s an admission of their own bullshite.

Only plays within the 16% hardcore MAGA base, who are already emotional and outraged.

Weird hopium, that is not "as likely if not more likely", and there's no guarantee this would even have the effect you want, b/c the people flipping believe the admin's policies are creating this chaos, as of today.
