Yes, well we saw that the media is more discerning about riots than many conservatives seem to be.
And the Democrats go from one unconstitutional act to another--the latest being considering using the 14th Amendment to prevent Trump from running for office again.
There is nothing unconstitutional about considering the possibility. In fact, the text of the amendment seems to say that the government is obligated to stop Trump from running again if he is found guilty of insurrection.
I picked it because it is one of the few cases actually decided on the merits rather than dismissed on arguably (sometimes obviously) correct procedural grounds, and the other major one decided on the merits I know of--the Pennsylvania court's ruling that the state's law doesn't require signature verification for absentee ballots--was clearly, risibly, grasping at whatever straws they could find to invent a justification for their desired ruling.
You mean, the decision that you discussed in this very thread, and where you and I both read the actual law being discussed, and we agreed that the laws written by the Pennsylvania legislature do not require signatures for verification.
In the US, it is the state legislatures that decide how each state conducts federal elections, so your support of judicial activism in this case would be unconstitutional.
You think the one might help explain the other?
Trump loves undocumented immigrants. He hires them all the time, pays them nothing, probably raped a few, and can always use them as a red herring for his base.
Considering that the old "wall" could only stop vehicles and the new wall is designed to stop people, it's not hard to argue that it is just that--new wall.
The new wall does not actually stop people, so....
Only by those desperately pretending that they represent Conservatives so they can avoid engaging real Conservatives on the issues.
Not by those willing to be honest at least, with themselves as much as others. Considering all those on the Left eager to label everyone that voted for Trump as racist White Nationalists (even all the minority Trump voters), there's a lot of them that aren't so willing.
Strawman and victim narrative.
No one is claiming that all Trump supporters are white nationalists.
It would be more correct to say that all white nationalists voted for Trump, that Trump used racism to energise parts of his base, and anyone who voted for Trump supported someone who is openly racist.
