Representative Becca Balint (D-VT): If We Continue to Crack Down on Illegal Aliens "We're Not Gonna Have Anyone to Wipe Our Asses" [When We Get Old?]

Hey, remember "Dark Woke"?

Maybe not. It only lasted about a week.

But perhaps this is supposed to be that.

Apparently Dark Woke was this idea that Woketarianism ought to curse more and just generally be cruder. The main ideas seemed to be:

• Trump is crude and he wins
• People dislike Woketarianism
• They dislike it not because its ideas are dumb, but because its expression is cringily, repulsively, cloyingly sanctimonious.
• So the left ought to be cruder

I'm not wild about crudity, especially by our elected officials. But I don't see making a federal case of this. It was a crude--or at least blunt--way of putting a point that Democrats make over and over: we shouldn't enforce our border because illegals work cheap and do things we don't want to do. I'm not a fan of the point. But I don't care that much whether it's expressed politely or impolitely.

   I don't really see that this is "saying the quiet part out loud," as Democrats make the point right out in front of God and everybody all the time.

   I guess I can't see making a big-ass deal out of this...to put the point rather crudely...
