Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Did you miss the extensive discussion in the piece of how Trump's unpopularity is a big driver of this? Stop searching high and low for invented things to object to. 110
Lawdy Gaga @litigaytor.bsky.social · 30/09/2026No, I didn't. But after acknowledging that, the piece makes no effort to justify the claim that Talarico's use of religious rhetoric is pushing people to support democrats' immigration position over and above Trump's unpopularity. The thesis is entirely unsupported. 101
Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 30/09/2026The central "thesis" is that this could be a model for how future Dems talk about the issue. This is by definition speculative. Can I *prove* that the religious rhetoric itself is resonating? No, not yet. But again, you are searching for things to object to for the sake of objecting. It's frivolous. 100
