Let me give you another example. So as many people have been saying, during the Obama administration families were separated. During the Trump administration they were separated more aggressively perhaps because there were more of them in part. But everybody agrees that what Trump did was some sort of continuation and expansion of what was already happening.

All right so someone says you don't get the threat of alien culture. Well let me change topics for a moment. If people are coming in with work visas that's not the biggest risk in the world.

I forgot what I was talking about before that. Somebody changed my thought process right in the middle. Oh okay yeah. So there was a big expansion of families being separated but here's the thing. Both sides agreed that there were situations in which kids must be separated. And then when it became a bigger deal, you know got more visibility, the public said we can't stand for this. We the public will not stand for this treatment of illegal immigrants. And then the government responded and changed the rule.

The biggest story in the world is that the system worked. The system being the press highlighted something — now they may have taken it out of context etc. — but the result was the public cared. The left cared and the right cared. There wasn't anybody who was in favor — well nobody serious who was in favor of separating families. And then when this situation was brought to the government the government said okay people really care about this. I think I'll go fix that.

So the best news in the world is that the public has an opinion that was different from the government's and the government immediately conformed to the public.
