The punditing pundits and social media experts have dropped a lot of pixels on their hot take that there are splits in MAGA over ICE atrocities. The horrific images of brutal murders, traumatized children, and inhumane conditions in our concentration camps, the theory goes, has turned the “I didn’t vote for this crowd” against Trump’s mass deportations. There’s even polling evidence, they all pant excitedly, referring to a recent Politico poll, Republicans are worried about Trump’s deportation campaign, and our new poll shows why. They couldn’t be more wrong. Let’s take a look at how it is the wrong take away from the poll.

ICE: Too Aggressive vs Not Aggressive Enough

One of the takeaways is based on the question of whether the deportation effort by ICE has been either too aggressive or not aggressive enough. The respondents have been divided into MAGA and non-MAGA Republicans. While it is tempting to argue that self-identifying as a non-MAGA Republican is just so much cognitive dissonance, it belongs in another blog post. Don’t get me started. Suffice it to say that it is a difference without meaning because after ten years of the party being led by El Dunce, you cannot be Republican without being MAGA. To think otherwise is to miss the racist forest for the anti-democratic trees, but like I said, that’s a different post.

The Overly Optimistic Hot Take

Overly optimistic pundits and social mediaites seize upon the 29% of so-called “non-MAGA” Republicans who say that ICE has gone too far. Twenty-nine percent, that’s huge, they exclaim! That’s a third of the non-MAGA Republicans. Really? That still leaves 47% saying the response — murdering two real live Americans in cold blood on real live American streets in front of god and cell phone cameras and violating the Fourth Amendment protection against warrantless searches and seizures — is just about right. Add that to the 17% that think that more real live American liberals should be gunned down in Kent State style massacres and more doors should be kicked in and people drug off kicking and screaming in the night whether they are documented, undocumented, or actual American citizens than is being done now, and you get 64% of the respondents.

Sixty-Four Percent

While that may not be the ninety plus percent support that Ditch used to enjoy, it is still a majority who think we should violate the Bill of Rights and Constitution to ethnically cleanse America and turn us into a white nationalist police state.

When we add that to the percentages of MAGA-identifying Republicans who support I the ICEstapo tactics, then you get some real frightening numbers:

• TWELVE PERCENT say it is too far.
• SIXTY-FOUR PERCENT say it is just right.
• TWENTY-ONE PERCENT say there should be more Americans bleeding out in the streets and children thrown into concentration camps.

The pundits and social media jeniuses would have us believe their interpretation over our own lying eyes that eighty five percent support is a significant drop from the ninety-plus percent support our very own Der Farter usually enjoys from the deluded masses, it isn’t.

Republican Support For Fascism

Combining the two groups reveals the following troubling numbers:

• TWENTY PERCENT think that ICE enforcement has gone too far.
• FIFTY-FIVE PERCENT think it is pitch perfect.
• NINETEEN PERCENT think that more brutality can be done in pursuit of fascism.

Seventy four percent support the masked nameless thugs spreading wanton state-supported violence on our streets. That is nothing to celebrate or take comfort in.

Ethnic Cleansing Goals vs Methods

Saying that the self-deluded non-MAGA Trump supporters are less enthusiastic in their support for fascism than their MAGA counterparts are is like saying GROK’s undressing of children was okay because they still had their underwear on. Let’s look at the numbers to take what cold comfort might be found there if any. The question asked whether respondents supported the goals of mass deportations (the ethnic cleansing of America) and the implementation (violating the Bill of Rights and Constitution).

• SUPPORTING BOTH THE GOALS & IMPLEMENTATION:
  • SIXTY-TWO PERCENT of MAGA was enthusiastically supporting the program
  • THIRTY-SEVEN PERCENT of non-MAGA were supporters.
  • That’s FIFTY PERCENT support for murdering Americans and violating our civil rights!
• SUPPORTING THE GOALS BUT NOT THE IMPLEMENTATION:
  • MAGA support fell to a comforting 28%. They want America ethnically cleansed but maybe not with so much pain and suffering broadcast on the news and social media.
  • NON-MAGA support ROSE to 43%!
  • COMBINED that’s 36% support for the keeping the brutality necessary in white washing America off of the air waves.

The results of this survey are telling us that Republican America supports turning the country into a white nationalist paradise no matter what the cost to our economy or civil liberties. They don’t care that Americans are being murdered and imprisoned for it. They don’t care that the conditions at the concentration camps amount to torture. As long as it hurts People of Color and liberals first and most, it is worth whatever pain gets filtered down to them to be as racist as they want to be.

There is No Change in the Anti-Democratic White Nationalist Goals of the Republican Rank and Vile

These are the people who voted Trump in for a SECOND TIME many of whom are now decrying that they didn’t vote for this. No one gets to play the I had fear for my economic self, Biden too old, Kamala to female and Black, so the only choice left was Trump card. What it tells us is that the same dog whistling message of immigrants as dirty diseased depraved drug-addled job-stealing father rapists still plays well.

Don’t let the carpet bagging reformed Republican pundits like Rick “Max Cleland Fake War Hero” Wilson and Charlie “Rush Limbaugh Wanna Be” Sykes who created the conditions for the anti-democratic racist misogynist MAGA Republicans but didn’t like Trump well enough to tolerate his repugnance so they decided to cash in on the anti-Trump commentary in liberal media spheres and call themselves heros fool you. El Dunce and his white nationalist ethnic cleansing administration still enjoy widespread support among white America. The underlying foundation of fearing the Other, economic despondency, and mindless jingoism still exists and is easily exploited by the likes of them and Trump.
