    This is literally already happening and has been since at least Bush and Obama? Does people think the border camps are operated and manned through pinky promises and good-faith dialogue? ICE uses boxes of chocolates and impassioned pleas? I guess this is support of it continuing?

      wait is this just polling US Christians? Did they go to a bunch of churches what is this breakdown lol. Its “methodology” section just names a Stanford-linked research company but doesn’t actually say anything about their criteria here. The number is lower for “unaffiliated” but there’s no breakdown of how many of each of these groups proportionally were asked what.

        it is lmao, this whole report is constantly relating things to “christian nationalism” and its affects on politics. what trash. And there’s no class (or even income) or living environment (urban, rural, suburban, gated fcking community) breakdown or anything, is so fixated on religion, and the 18-29 age group is vanishingly small compared to olders — and they totally avoid breaking down the generational percentages on a few questions including this one. This whole report is garbage, I read the actual report and it doesn’t clarify itself for shit, its selection process just blindly assures that it is ‘representative’(enough to say “percentage of americans”) when they’re just emailing people (5000 no less, to extrapolate to the whole country in all its differing segments for which their breakdown is barely existent except for Christianity types and intersections). And it is all so obtuse in its focus and bent on this “christian nationalism,” and questions are either vague as to be pointless or weirdly leading to try to bend it toward that frame and then burying the contextual construction of the series of questions built around it in different places in the text or in separate graphs (with some of the worst graphs I’ve ever seen, why did they do it this way?). And what little cohesion there was in the report this article removes by separating one part, which is broken down even less than the other sections even in the report itself. I really don’t trust this 5000 person religious-focused obtuse garbage to be able to say as it does “percent of americans.” This is fucking awful.

    This is pretty bad even for Americans right? Like when was the last time anti-immigrant sentiment was this high? The great depression or something? This is like old timey levels of overt racism

      Back in 2016 the Dems at least messaged against DJT’s wall and migrant ban, so the rank and file were against it for the most part - but they went silent on it and now the line is “we wanted to build the wall but the Republicans wouldn’t let us,” so its no wonder that public sentiment is getting worse too.

    same-as-it-ever-was

    https://news.gallup.com/vault/195257/gallup-vault-wwii-era-support-japanese-internment.aspx

    In December 1942, a year after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor and several months after Japanese-Americans living on the West Coast were subsequently “relocated” inland to U.S. detention camps, 48% of Americans believed the detainees should not be allowed to return to the Pacific coast after the war. Just 35% of Americans said they should be allowed to go back.

    This country has always been evil

    When the Dem leadership started embracing Trump’s immigration policies, they took a huge chunk of their liberal base with them. First, it was fascist to support Trump’s policies and only conservatives supported them. Now, libs joined them because they have zero principles, they can’t even keep up the pretense of opposing policies that they themselves labeled fascist barely 4 years ago.

    Trump’s winning then.

    Also it should be noted just how much and how far the Democrats and #resistance libs have enabled this anti immigrant attitude and behaviour. As an outsider it’s incredibly obvious. We went from libs in 2016 saying that no human is illegal and having Anthony Bourdain (may his soul rest in peace) doing episodes of his restaurant and cooking shows in support of the immigrant community, to Kamala Harris plagiarising Trump’s 2016 rhetoric and making up myths about how immigrants are bringing crime and drugs (in fentanyl) to the USA. How far they have fallen in less than a decade. Never forget that. Enablers often get off scot-free when they are just as guilty.

    Maybe the survey is from a poor sour-

    PRRI survey

    Maybe it’s a small samp-

    The survey was conducted among a representative sample of 5,027 adults (age 18 and up) living in all 50 states in the United States, who are part of Ipsos’s KnowledgePanel and an additional 325 who were recruited by Ipsos using opt-in survey panels to increase the sample sizes in smaller states. Interviews were conducted online between August 16 and September 4, 2024

      5000 is honestly a pretty small sample size of such a populous country, and this whole report is about Religion and its affects in politics, which explains why the religious breakdown focus is so stand-out bizarre. I see even in the full report absolutely no methodological breakdown for things like income, urban/suburban/rural, etc. it also barely has anyone in the 18-29 age group, and even in the full report (and so the article) specifically doesn’t mention generation breakdowns when talking about the immigration questions, when it breaks down the generation percentages in (some) of the other sections, like regarding Israel/Palestine. Honestly there’s a lot that pisses me off about this “study” and report. Whole thing looks ASS and is so obtuse about its framings, specifically trying to illustrate “christian nationalism” and its effects on politics. The longer report is barely even clearer on some of the critical breakdowns of age, class, etc. And the religious focus is weird as hell.

    The majority of crackers want to shove their POC neighbors (don’t think these numbers are just for undocumented migrant workers from Honduras) into concentration camps.

    It’s sad that communities I used to think of as progressive safe havens quickly started justifying this shit as soon as Democrats hopped on the anti-immigrant bandwagon.
