The Fear Is The Point: Rachel Maddow Exposes The Reason Behind Trumps ICE Raids
Rachel Maddow said on Thursday that Donald Trumps planned ICE raids across the country, which are set to begin this weekend, are just a stunt meant to scare immigrants and rile up his base ahead of 2020.
The White House has obviously been trying to stoke as much fear and confusion as possible, the MSNBC host said. Part of their MO here seems to be that
the more pain and fear you can instill in immigrant communities, somehow that redounds to the White Houses benefit.

Theres obviously real concern over what might be about to happen. The White House has obviously been trying to stoke as much fear and confusion as possible. Part of their MO here seems to be that the worse you treat immigrants, the more you demonstrate cruelty toward immigrant communities, the more you try to terrify people, the better that is for the country somehow. The more pain and fear you can instill in immigrant communities, somehow that redounds to the White Houses benefit. That seems to be their calculus.
