People see this as an example of the American electorate being fickle. But IMO it’s way more likely the average American wants the border tightly controlled AND doesn’t want masked ICE agents detaining random people who may or may not even be illegals.

The structure of the primary coalitions/incentives and all that, but sometimes you wonder how popular a President could be if they just did the things that the electorate is very obviously asking for in some key areas.
@Conblob The American electorate is fickle and intensely stupid. They voted for the outsider to break things now they say they want someone with experience to fix it. They voted for mass deportation but they don't like it in their towns. They voted for tariffs but hate the higher prices.
@Conblob Biden is proof positive that’s a load of horse manure. The U.S. electorate is the most abjectly stupid, gullible, & fickle electorate in the world.
@Conblob I think it’s all talk. Culture will tower above all else (as long as the economy is ok). Just look at unions. Brandon granted decades worth of asks and now they’re more Republican than they’ve ever been!
President Biden pushed through the biggest climate bill in history and then he pushed through the largest infrastructure bill since the 1960s and then he passed a hundred reforms that the left had been asking for and everyone hated the whole program. What 2021-2025 proved is that the Democrats need to shift to the right because there are no votes on the Left.
@Conblob You mean like Biden did?
@Conblob You're referring to the Biden presidency, and his administration got nothing but grief and a MAGA SCOTUS thwarting him at every turn.
@Conblob Americans voted for the guy who was telling them that he would make candy and fried food healthy again
@Conblob It’s not possible w/o immigration reform. While Obama was retrospectively popular (bc Clinton/Trump were unpopular in waning days), Trump came to power on back of immigration when Obama largely kept “the border!” secure/crossings low (bc economy was depressed)
@Conblob Biden did them. You suck at being a citizen and a person. Conner is the problem.
@Conblob Genuine question: did you spend all of January 2021-2025 in an all-consuming dissociative haze
@Conblob You're so close.
@Conblob Your kind is too stupid to be trusted with anything like that. The YTs and YT “males” are the crud of this society and will be americas downfall
@Conblob Biden literally did all of this and got demonized and screamed in his face at by low information voters that made up a large majority of the 2024 electorate and environment.
@Conblob Apparently none of you care about Climate Change any more, or jobs, or women, or the most vulnerable and marginalised, or diplomacy, peace and security, or the environment Slow clap for Populist Extremism
@Conblob 92% of black voters understood the assignment What's wrong with the rest of you?
@Conblob Do you mean like Biden and Harris did do for you? Or is there are different President you're thinking of😕
@Conblob Biden did what the electorate wanted. The electorate paid no attention whatsoever.
@Conblob Biden and Harris did everything that the public saud they wanted. He delivered for on the left right and centre He delivered for Main Street and Wall Street Verses Trump's criminality, his open plans to be a dictator, and JAN 6!!! The problem is the brainwashed public
