Summary

Trump revoked Biden’s executive order that affirmed the inclusion of all residents in census results, regardless of immigration status.

This action clears the path for potential changes in how the 2030 census will be conducted, including the possibility of excluding non-citizens from apportionment counts.

The Supreme Court has yet to rule on the constitutionality of such exclusions.

    Biden didn’t do jack shit to further those rights, and arguably fumbled so badly he actively diminished them. The president is supposed to use his influence to ensure the rest of the party passes meaningful policy while in power - do you see any republicans stepping out of line regarding Trump’s wishes? But sure, keep deluding yourself into thinking the Dems do a good job because they aren’t Trump. That bar is laughably low, and Biden still stumbled on it.

    Liberalism enables fascism, it cannot defeat it.

      This is so ignorant of how our political systems work. Things can’t happen that fast. Not lowering the bar is a significant thing when its regularly lowered, especially if you comparing years back. Most democratic first terms at best are rising the bar back to where it was when the republicans took office. Then idiots complain about the bar not having been moved. Second term, when they get it, they might get it a bit higher but usually they are being fought tooth and nail not for it to happen. All the same it does and yeah they have to right the economy to which takes some work. If the economy is not righted you will get that many more voting based on someones bs promises. Its like the electorate is made up of two type of children and then adults. one child believes whatever fantasy is spewed, another realizes that is bull but still wants all their fantasies done with no grounding in the reality of what it takes to get it done and then there are the pragmatic adults who realize you want good over bad or even ok over bad and better is better than worse.
