Time to break free of traditional political ideological labeling and divisions. Time to abandon old, divisive sociopolitical labels like "liberal" and "conservative".

A new political party based on a vastly, commonly held virtures lends itself to embrace over 66% of Americans, and it clearly embraces progressive principled thinking. In the most ideal American sense of unity, a political party should not be able to be defined or placed as "to the left" or "to the right" of where the Democratic or Republican parties currently are. Just let it exist organically based on present-day principled thinking. The American Progressive Majority.

I agree with almost all of these but some of these numbers were definitely pulled out of someone’s ass

It certainly doesn't seem to be reflected by the results of the election.

It doesn't show what issues people prioritize. MAGA focused on getting people angry about migrants and threw gas on the flames with false information to the point where their fear/hate for migrants mattered to them more than any of these issues listed above.

They voted for not getting raises, getting taxed more, prices going up, and damaging the earth itself while hurting our alliances around the world all to address the "issue of migrants."

So what really happened is the number of people that the U.S. "repatriated" (deported) looked like it skyrocketed during the final months of Trump's 1st presidency, but in reality both Biden and Obama's administrations were deporting people around the same rates, Biden actually doing the most by far. The spike came from returning people do to COVID. Which is why it looks like Biden was deporting a lot in the beginning as well.

ICE says in the first 7 weeks of Trump's presidency, they have deported 27,000 migrants. Which would be 16,000/month.

So that would be 30% of the 55,000/monthly average we saw previously. So not only are we wrecking out relations with other countries, they were removing people at an extremely inefficient way.
