Agree. My recipe suggestion is that if you ladle on the praise really thick on the front end you can maybe get away with actual criticism on the back end. Not “right president/right time” but “Trump saved America!” …but then he went a little crazy etc, https://t.co/HrkGMVa3AL

There’ll always be people who want to come to the US, with appeals of varying weights. If we want to take in more than the million+ a year the law allows we should pass a law democratically to do so — not have Biden let the border be overwhelmed and sneak in millions more. https://t.co/9ixP3BhaDV
