I’m not proud of this thought, but I am going to put it out there anyway. The Democrats need to perfect the art of the “They/you’ formula. A shadowy “they” is going to do something “you” don’t like. Dems do pretty well on this with Social Security—“They” (Republicans) are going to take SS from “you.”

Republicans excel at they/you. Honestly, it’s all they got. Now Dems have an opportunity to put the kidnapping and rendition of immigrants into the classic “they/you” blender and create a frozen daiquiri of if “THEY” can send masked bandits to snatch grad students off the street, they can certainly do that to “YOU.”

Forget the whole constitutional blah blah blah—-just go for the visceral distrust of weird shadowy government agents (Deep state anybody?) and appeal to the ol’ lizard brain.
