see, then this is where they’ve shifted us already. “then we’d think about amnesty”. Like the plausibility and acceptability of amnesty as a possible thing the republicans would consider is now on the table. Now not a question of if, but when. Incrementalism and shift us from not debating amnesty itself, but at what point, amnesty?
When one seriously ponders the GOP’s actions, you either get category error or willful participation. And you are dead on right. They learned well from the incrementalism approach of ALL leftist groups. Too bad they put it into play against their base.
