For years, conservatives on the court have claimed to be “colorblind.” Yet when it comes to criminalizing our communities, suddenly race matters. This is the contradiction at the heart of the Roberts Court: no race in college admissions, but race is admissible in immigration stops.

    I don’t know Latino Trump voters, but I know immigrant AfD voters here in Germany and I assume their reasoning is similar:

    1. They don’t mean us, they mean only the criminal immigrants. I work here and speak German.
    2. Well they could never go after all of us, that would be stupid! Entire industries depend on immigration and would collaps. So you see how their rhetoric is exaggerated.
    3. All politicians lie, that’s what politicians do. They never do what they say, so the AfD will never act against immigrants.
    4. They are against gay people! I don’t care about the rest. I habe a good job and speak fluent German, so I’ll be fine. As long as they go after gay people, I don’t care for any other policy.

    And so on. The point is, every single non-native or non-native-looking voter of fascist parties thinks they are the exception.
