The Minnesota revolt against Trump’s war on migrants
This movement of solidarity has also refuted the idea that the only way to push back the electoral support for the far-right is to concede to their ideas. This idea has been widely pushed since Trump was elected within the Democratic Party, the media and other sections of the establishment, particularly that Democrats must move (even) further to the right on migration. This was justified by polling, which showed that public opinion had favoured Trump’s call for a harder line stance. In fact, accepting anti-migrant frameworks has only strengthened the hand of the right.
