I don't know if it's THAT supported, at this point, and the voting bloc who swings elections doesn't seem to like this policy implementation or how the aggro policy led to all this chaos in Minnesota, either.

We are on the same page.

It's the emotional types who want the drama of muh fight who are throwing temper tantrums about this. Like I said earlier, it's a "you are here" meme. They're going to move from "this is fake" to "this is the fault of MSM" to "voters didn't reject this; it's clearly voter fraud" by December

Well part of that is there are fundamental issues with how JJ did TFA, some of which were necessary to rebuild the aura from the prequels. The biggest limiting factor was creating another empire-like bad, when that made no sense. It just set up an irrational conflict, generally.

Narratively I think the 2 biggest issues in TLJ were how RJ treated Luke, which basically shat on TFA, and killing the big bad, which, if that was going to happen, should have happened in chapter 1 of the trilogy. The combination of (1) a new empire (2) no big bad and (3) Luke being marginalized just left nothing for the 3rd act.

Immigration was one of his strongest positions, but the people don't like HOW he is going about it and that position has become a lot weaker.

It's a colossal frickup and the reversal, no matter how much sky screaming you see on this board and other pro-Trump echo chambers, won't undo it.

The only group who can undo it is the Trump administration, which would take what they're discussing in OP: reversing course and ignoring the muh fight nonsense for a rational, smart policy.

100% correct. We are a constitutional republic. You would think an attorney would know this.

We're that, too.

Again, it's not binary. There is nothing that excludes a constitutional republic from also being a democracy.

We are also a federal version of that system. Don't forget that.

Our government is all 4 of those things working together.

You're going to get the talking point that Congress isn't passing anything, ignoring how the Trump admin wanted the huge BBB last year and how they haven't been proposing shite for legislation, even after being shown the admin can/will with the healthcare policy reports yesterday
