A helpfully clear exchange here Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028." Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"

I actually liked him when he was a young blogger even though he was completely wrong in supporting the Iraq War, and I was a bad person for overlooking that. He has mostly been mute to me for the 20 years or so since then.
