The last 'graph here explains everything we're seeing RN at Federal scale. Highly recommend Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling's book "A Libertarian Walks in to a Bear."

So...maybe Trump can self-deport then?

The Trump family first came to the U.S. in 1885 when Friedrich Trump, Donald Trump's grandfather, immigrated from Kallstadt, Germany. He arrived in New York City at the age of 16.

I have a feeling this is not something that R voters and constituents can twist, so I recommend sharing their story far and wide!
