Also, quick meta note.
I’d rather we not discuss whether or not we’re actually running concentration camps at the borders. At least if you don’t have at least some form of expertise (say, a historian, or a holocaust expert) to weigh in with. This thread is not about the “whether”, it’s about the “electoral impacts of”, and while “this isn’t a thing that will have an impact because it’s not a thing” is a take one can have, I sincerely doubt that anyone involved is going to step the rhetoric down, especially as conditions in the camps continue to worsen and people keep on dying. Whether “concentration camp” is 100% accurate or not, now it’s out in the mainstream, and it’s very unlikely that that genie gets put back in the bottle.
(Besides, I tried to have that conversation before and it didn’t go well. I do welcome anyone interested to make their own thread, and I’ll gladly participate in it, but let’s try to keep this thread on topics germane to elections, i.e. “what will this do to the polls”.)
