“It’s good for revving up the Democrats’ political base in time for the November elections that could hand control of the U.S. Senate to Republicans.”
And what else matters?
No, it isn't. Only 15% of the US population is black, and not all of them are crazy. This assault on law and order speaks to lower-wage lower-income US citizens (including Hispanics) who know darn well that it could affect the communities where they live. Also keep in mind that it's their kids who are having to put up with the hordes of central americans in their classrooms. If we little folk get concerned about law and order and the ability to defend themselves in a crisis, that's a likely Republican vote.
