Numerous articles have shown immigrants pay far more into society than they get back (including into social services whose benefits they are unable to enjoy) but MAGA just doesn't care. Instead they lie, call immigrants an economic drain, and dress up cultural grievances as economic populism.

We know what Trump does when voters reject him. He lies about the result. He attacks the people who uphold it. He demands loyalty to himself over the Constitution. We’ve seen this before. The test is coming. The latest at The Warning: steveschmidt.substack.com/p/the-losers...

The comments come as Trump continues to defend the war and claim that Iran will not obtain nuclear weapons. @joe-scarborough.bsky.social blasts Trump’s comment about the two California cities, calling the moment “not funny” for Americans who believe “the president should do more than divide us.”

At a Monday night rally in Nebraska, President Donald Trump suggested Iran could “take out” Los Angeles and San Diego. That, coupled with high gas prices, Trump told the crowd, would be a “small price to pay.”

"Media that suck up to Trump for business reasons (such as Meta and Google) need to realize that an anti-fascist movement is here and they need to get aboard." Something tells me that if Ds win it won't be widely interpreted as a major verdict on the future direction of US culture, as 2024 was.
