Undocumented labor makes the food we have as cheap as it is (along with government subsidies). If that labor pool evaporated we’d see more widespread issues with food rotting before being picked and food not getting processed.
The GOP has literally already done this with those exact effects in Florida, Alabama & Georgia. The farmers I know collectively lost millions. Other farmers had to sell out to BigAg, which was just a bonus knock on effect for these ghouls. I'd bet dollars to donuts that the lion's share of these double digit Haley / GOP protest voters in Red states are in the Ag sector, or some other industry directly damaged by Trump's misrule.
But that is kinda the point of fascism. As long as they have power they do not care about people.
I’ve been wondering for a bit why during the time the Democrats controlled the legislature, executive, and judicial branches during Obama’s first term in 2008 more wasn’t accomplished. Shouldn’t that have been the opportunity to make Row V Way law and fix the electoral college? I understand the recession was going on but...
Lies are easy to get away with if they are repeated often enough and given voice by many different people. Repeat a lie often enough and that lie often becomes conventional wisdom. Repeating a lie doesn't change the lie into the truth, it changes the people hearing the repeated lie. They begin to accept the lie as truth. One huge example: 'Iraq has WMD.'
...
The truth....then....is this: Democrats had "total control" of the House of Representatives from 2009-2011, 2 full years. Democrats, and therefore, Obama, had "total control" of the Senate from September 24, 2009 until February 4, 2010. A grand total of 4 months.
Did President Obama have "total control" of Congress? Yes, for 4 entire months. And it was during that very small time window that Obamacare was passed in the Senate with 60 all-Democratic votes.
Did President Obama have "total control' of Congress during his first two years as president? Absolutely not and any assertions to the contrary.....as you can plainly see in the above chronology....is a lie.
"Why is the political party that actively wants to destroy our institutions ok with destroying our institutions?"
That's your question, reframed.
If you want a real answer, it's because Roe v. Wade "was" settled law & the Democrats are a "big tent" party with a lot of disparate views that always don't mesh together. They should be 3 parties working as a collation, but our stupid FPtP election system won't allow that.
Following that, note which party has made RCV illegal in 5 states.
If those Haley primary voters are GOP adherents that had their lives / farms / families / health destroyed by Trump's stupid & evil policies, they likely won't be back to vote for Trump.
And the Orange Moron saying that out loud will make absolutely sure of it. It's literally human nature.
The Israeli military said Thursday that five soldiers were killed and seven injured in a friendly fire incident in northern Gaza, amid renewed battles in the area against regrouped Hamas militants....
Democrats have been beating polls, nationwide, by 9+ points since Roe v. Wade was overturned.
The GOP has lost 17 of their last 20 special elections, even in so called "Red" states.
This has been going on long enough that either pollsters aren't capable of adjusting their polling methods for the new reality or they are targeting polls on purpose to maintain a "horse race".
Yes, let's blame the people trying to improve the lives of immigrants in the USA instead of the #fascists that are loudly saying they will use DREAM as a weapon.
Because that makes perfect sense (if you want Trump re-elected).
