Biden at 37% job approval. 32% on economy. @Gallup doesn’t even ask about approval on immigration/border–that’s one way respectables try to shape the battlefield. https://t.co/1QWdIZ4MU0

How it works is usually this: The bigshots at the top work out some clever sellout deal that looks tough –to fool the voters — but really means more immigration. Voters say “Fuck you” and the deal collapses.

Cornyn: “I don’t mean to deprecate the people who are talking. But ultimately this is going to be a deal that’s going to be made between President Biden, Senate Majority Leader Schumer, Speaker Johnson and Leader McConnell”

Isn’t the CIS-and my-position that almost all of Biden’s parole admissions are unauthorized by Congress & illegal? So if a “compromise” deauthorizes half of them, that means THE OTHER HALF ARE AUTHORIZED no? A huge win for Biden & loose borders, not a step toward tighter borders https://t.co/zAIXqHhVWW

This would be source of unease even in a better economy than we have now. But it might be a subconscious factor when evaluating the current state of affairs.

Crazy idea: The unhappiness with the economy is a symptom of underlying unhappiness with where we’re headed as a country (and species). Specifically, people hear how we’re going to be thrown out of jobs by robots & AI, put on the dole (UBI) & then maybe exterminated! Unappealing. https://t.co/xjG7RQqUsK
