Over-simplification, I'm sure, but it seems like the rhetoric of the right boils down to “things would be better if not for X” where to solve for “X,” someone needs to not exist...which leads to policy ideas that do not seek to solve the original problem, but to figure out how to eliminate “X” as if that's some panacea.
Is “X” immigrants? Black people? Jews? LGTBQ+? Pick your poison, it's all rubbish. We're all just people and the rhetoric is not about helping anyone. It's about control.
