    The analogy I’ve always heard is “living inside the fence” versus “outside the fence”. And how your perceived position shapes how you behave politically.

    But I also see this painfully naive assumption that Democrats are actually for looser immigration policy or that a democratic administration won’t end in your wife/kids getting the old heave hoe.

    In the end, it’s just two Have Nots arguing which plutocrat would trickle down on them better. There’s no reason to vote for Trump, but no reason to vote against him either. Doubley so when you realize your vote isn’t even impacting the election’s outcome.

    If every Republican had a crystal ball and could know with perfect certainty whether their immediate family would suffer from Trump’s immigration policy… he would still be president today. The margins were too wide and the deck was too stacked.
