      But it only concerns the average voter because the Kremlin mouthpieces in politics and the media say it’s supposed to. I can almost guarantee that the average person who falls for this tactic has never had a meaningful interaction with an immigrant to even know what it is they’re supposed to be afraid of.

            that is the nuclear option and can have severe consequences in terms of peoples trust in government and the democratic process.

            People tend to be deeply upset when you take their choice away from them.

            It’s not an option that should be used lightly
