The Democrats’ Shameful, Foolish Surrender on Immigration

Kamala Harris apparently believes—wrongly—that she has no influence on anti-immigrant sentiment in America, because she has effectively capitulated to MAGA messaging.

“The average voter is a moron. He believes what he reads in newspapers, feeds his imagination and lulls his repressions on the cinema, and hopes to break away from his slavery by football pools, cross-word prizes, or spotting the winner of the 3:30. He is ignorant as no illiterate peasant is ignorant: he has no power of independent thought. He is the prey of panic. But he has the vote.”

Our actions are determined by #Believes & #Values. If traveling is the source of self-identity and we read that flying contributes to only 3.5% of global emissions, then giving up flying makes no sense. Same thinking arises for small countries who emit maybe 1% of CO2. We might feel that 'protesting is not our thing' because it's just not civilised. This is a thread that explores #Mindsets, beyond just blaming elites, in order to make sense of why we keep racing towards the abyss. 🧵#ccmindsets
