Last year, centrists were arguing that Democrats should adopt extreme-right anti-immigrant positions to keep up with what they claimed was the tide of public opinion.
Now nearly half of the population agrees that ICE should be outright abolished.
ICE has only existed since March 2003, by the way.

GB News now broadcasting calls to remove the ethnic minority MPs from parliament Connor Tomlinson c @Con_Tomlinson The British people are not represented by the sons and daughters of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh using Parliament to bicker about how best to import millions of their kin from the Subcontinent. We should ban those without native British ancestry from being MPs. We should be closing our doors to the third world, without anyone in Parliament putting pressure from foreign lobbies or ethnic loyalties over what is in our national interest.
A prime example of how the far right can never be appeased. Give them whatever they demand and they’ll bank it, then use it as a new base camp to strike out for more and worse.
A poster design reading: We Are All Anti-Fascists! Together against all forms of oppressive power. They will not intimidate us.

"We are all anti-fascists!"
Drawing on the classic Italian chant, “Siamo tutti antifascisti,” this poster pushes back against the regime's efforts at intimidation and propaganda.

Free speech update. Local schoolchildren made a banner saying "Epping welcomes all except racists". The Homeland Party [their Norfolk organiser] says his members have taken and burnt it, sharing the image of burning the anti-racist message on social media, to emphasise their commitment to racism.
Why do ‘we’ look at thousands of people marching peacefully through the streets on London, week after week, and see a dangerous fifth column needing violent repression. Why do ‘we’ look at people trying to lynch foreigners and see a poorly-articulated cry for recognition from the state?
