I'm personally thankful this administration is such a bunch of actual morons. It's hugely damaging, for sure, but it could be so much worse. And they are leaving a long trail of negligent missteps that they can (and I hope will) be held accountable for.

Sadly they're actually Useful Idiots. Smart people can now use said idiots to push their hugely damaging agendas.

[sorcerer-mar]

This is definitely true but these missteps are also making it harder to push the agendas. E.g. they could have just done extremely fast and mostly bullshit administrative hearings from all the people they've been deporting. Instead, because they're actual morons, they've completely skipped any semblance of due process.

They can revoke visas for countless reasons, instead they've decided to go on TV and brag about doing it for engaging in protected speech.

The list goes on!

The lack of sham hearings doesn't matter when the person is already out of the country and can't come back

[sorcerer-mar]

There are a lot of ways in which it absolutely does matter. For example, several more flights out of the country have been prevented.

Let's not do this whole defeatism thing. Their errors are slowing them down, other parties' interventions are slowing them down and preventing and undoing some damage, continuous action and continuously exploiting their errors is good and we should keep doing it.
