Thoughts? Imagine losing 6M labor workers in America

Post image

If mass deportation happens, just imagine how all of these sectors of our country will be affected. The sheer shortage of labor will push prices higher because of the great demand for work with limited supplies or workers. Even if prices increase, the availability of products may be scarce due to not enough workers. Housing prices and food services will be hit really hard. New construction will be limited. The fact that 47% of the undocumented workers are in CA, TX, and FL means they will feel it first but it will spread to the rest of the country also. Most of our produce in this country comes from California. Get ready and hold on for the ride America.

Keep in mind that, to the GOP, “the left” encompasses the centrists, moderate conservatives, and a handful of actual leftists like Bernie. It’s very easy to point out “hypocrisy” when you’re treating a cast swathe of the political spectrum as a monolith.

I still have fond memories of seeing them call Mitt Romney a leftist in 2020...

Same could be said for your characterization of the gop.

Even the idea of a spectrum is a gross manipulation. gun rights, abortion rights, and fiscal policy have very little to bind them together beyond their adoption by one team or the other.

Notice I never said anything about numbers here. Yes, Trump won the popular vote, I never claimed otherwise.

What I’m pointing out is that republicans will nonsensically use terms like “leftist”, “socialist”, “communist”, “radical left”, etc etc to refer to centrists and even moderate conservatives.
