2016 election Republicans made Muslims the problem.
2018 election Republicans made the Black people the problem.
2020 election Republicans made the Chinese the problem.
2022 election Republicans made Trans people the problem.
2024 election Republicans make Mexicans and Central Americans the problem.
Seeing a trend here. Can’t put my finger on it.

Oh all of the above have been “the problem” as long as I’ve been alive, at the same time.
It’s almost like it isn’t everyone else that’s the problem

You are correct. However, every cycle they single out one group and hit all the same fear tactics. It’s not new or innovative but it has the same deadly results.
Trump losing won’t change the party viewpoint. It will just make them more secretive. Closet racists again.

The “first they came for…” quote is probably more damaging than people realize. They don’t systematically make more different people the problem. Everyone is fair game at all times whenever it’s opportune.
