Ted Lieu: Trump and Vance have already lost. They thought they could remake and change the character of America. They

thought we would embrace their plan of sending masked federal agents to terrorize communities.

The American people said Hell No.

Furthermore, anyone but a stone cold psychopath would have learned something from the public reaction to the separation of immigrant families during the first Trump administration. That the Orange Hellbeast and his hench goblin Nosferatu Stephen Miller failed miserably on both counts says a great deal about both of them, imo.
