      Thank you for the archive link! Emphasis mine:

      They didn’t mean to harm you. But they didn’t see you in the 1970s as deindustrialization took your jobs; in the ensuing decades as your families and communities broke apart; during all those decades when high immigration levels made you feel like a stranger in your own land.

      Press X to doubt

      So glad he included a dog whistle in there. Really brings the point home. As if deindustrializations whole purpose wasn’t to literally take away your jobs and send them elsewhere because paying you made them slightly less rich.

      “Dems shouldn’t focus on the thing voters are telling them to focus on. Have they thought about bringing up how bad immigration is?”
