Why does the GOP need to remove the “illegal imigrants”? They are often hardworking individuals with similar or lower crime rates than the average american. What the GOP and ICE are doing right now is illigal and akin to human trafficking. From the outside looking to the US it looks more and more like they are treating immigrants as germany treated the jews at the start of the second world war.

They don’t ”have to”, they know it’s not gonna fix anything. Strategically, it’s perfect though: it only increases instability and makes the economy worse, which in turn is just further going to fuel authoritarianism.

  Most authoritarian regimes consolidate power through improving the economy and high approval don’t they? The collapse tends to come later after to consolation I thought and I hadn’t seen it argued as a strategic thing. Any chance you can point to something that discusses this more fully?
