(White) Americans of the center and left have long since lost the conviction that you may just need to bleed for your children’s freedom. It’ll come back, hopefully not too late.

The thing is, to most white Americans, their childrens' freedom isn't at stake. The majority of white voters have always supported Trump, and probably support ICE, whereas most of the rest simply don't don't consider it their problem.

And unfortunately that probably won't change until ICE kills more of them and makes it their problem.

It absolutely is at stake, they just haven’t realized it yet. (Insert obligatory “first they came for” quote.)

You are right that America isn’t going to fix this problem until Trump supporters feel the pain. It is coming, but I’m afraid of what we will have to go through to get there.

Trump gained more support in 2024 across almost all demographics. To make this only a white issue is misleading and casually racist.

"Trump won 15% of Black voters – up from 8% four years earlier. "
