Roughly what happened:
- A few days ago, Bovino promised something big
- ICE was being brutal, but not stopping the protests or the hunger strike inside the concentration camps
- Bovino sent in the Proud Boys, but the protesters ran them off
- Gov. Sherrill sent in the state police, who attacked the protesters, including those in “free speech zones”
They support the camps. This all only looks confusing if you refuse to accept that democratic leadership wants them too. The rest is theater.
I don’t know about “wants them too”. The people in the camps are overwhelmingly democrat supporters, even if they can’t vote.
I think it is more that doing anything actionable to stop them would likely fail and that would make them look bad. So they don’t want to act because there is nothing for them to gain.
Occam’s razor says it’s because of class solidarity among the elite. If they think standing up to fascists is unpopular, then it’s because they are only thinking of what’s popular with those who have power. But they trained as well to expect incompetence from the whole lot.
If you don’t vote (whether voluntarily or because you can’t) then you don’t count to these people.
In this case they are parents of potential voters, and in some cases potential voters themselves. And they are also potential community leaders who can support the politician and get them more votes.
