the Republican strategy of calling non-white countries shitholes or Mexicans as rapists come across as political suicide

These statements caused huge jumps in Trump's popularity.

And now he's out of office while serving only one term...

The biggest reason for that was the fact that he followed Kushner's lead (supposedly) and adopted a typical "anti-racist" Republican platform. He dropped all of the stuff that won him the election in 2016, and instead opted to run on letting blacks out of prison and increasing legal immigration. He did nothing about the BLM riots, he did nothing about election security, and he did next to nothing in terms of economic COVID relief for normal people. For the most part, he gave up even the dog whistles. It's like he did everything he could to throw the election.

So the Republican expectation was they could expect to win all future elections using racism, even though stuff like legal immigration or civil rights represented a culture that was against that? Unless his second term was going to cut Hart-Celler into pieces and begin mass deportations, it was suicide of the highest order.

    It's a good thing they waited 4 years to do it and not back in 2016, when Hillary claimed the same thing.

    It's almost like both sides throw tantrums when they see results they don't like.

      Ah yes, the magical evidence that will explain how all 81 million votes for Biden were fake, and why it only mattered this one time and not every previous election that came before...
