Abbreviated Pundit Roundup: The slow circle down the drain America [1]

Think of it as a humanitarian effort.
The Wisconsin man, who is white, voted for the candidate who said he would expel all those who “poison the blood of the country.” The man told USA Today that he didn’t believe Trump meant his wife. She was different, he said. He thought Trump “would target people who snuck over the border and weren’t vetted.” And now that his wife has been detained by ICE, he still can’t believe it. “It doesn’t make any sense.”
Ergo, FAFO.
It may seem like this man would be receptive to a moderate position on immigration, one that allows for people who are in legal limbo, and perhaps one that proposes a pathway to citizenship for people like his wife who work hard, save up to buy a home and want to start a family.
It may seem like he would be receptive to a perspective favored by some in the Democratic Party who believe Kamala Harris erred on the side of being too progressive on immigration and other social issues, like trans rights. They believe the Democrats should move to the right, just a little, and even talk like Republicans, just a little, in order to appeal to voters, like this man, who have been burned by Trump.
Read the story carefully, however, and you will notice something that should demonstrate that we no longer live in a world of left-right, liberal-conservative politics, to wit: He does not regret his vote.
