Because the alternative, the truth, is impossible. Like all progressives they delude themselves. They are utterly incapable of accepting that others don't behave according to their ideals. So they make it up. Avoidance. Classic avoidance. Then when Trump comes along they can't understand why people flock to him.

Trump has the required clarity of vision and his appointee, Tom Homan, had the directness of purpose to effect immediate change. Within hours of the inauguration they were kicking down doors 24hrs a day, militarising their border, declaring the gangs to be terrorists, repurposing Gitmo and strong arming their foreign counterparts to cooperate or suffer real consequences. Illegal immigrants over there are self-deporting because the options are worse; they can always apply for legal reentry as opposed to those leaving in handcuffs on military aircraft who will be permanently excluded.

We have Starmer and Hewitt. I also remember the latter but as good as he was, he is no Tom Homan. It’s like comparing the Untouchables in Capone-era America with Juliet Bravo. (I know you appreciate antediluvian references)
