They know they can't logistically pull off "mass deportations" they promises their base so doing high-profile, intentionally-controversial actions (which they turn into content) creates the illusion of mass deportations while enraging people their base hates

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

I don't respect any elected official who thinks or acts like they're entitled to their office, but I at least understand it. voters on the other hand who act like it's some great insult for an elected official to have to actually compete for re-election are a mystery to me. longing for aristocracy

This isn't anti-DEI - it's retelling history as a story with only white men in it. The tale of the Navajo Code Talkers is essential to understanding the Allies' victory in WWII. Removing it because the people involved were non-white is segregationism.
