The political priorities have been, and are:
1. Obtain power by whatever means necessary, including but not limited to:
a. Import a new populace that will vote for your party in perpetuity
b. Demonize the heritage American hoi polloi, whom you hate
2. Keep said power by doubling down at every opportunity and controlling 90% of the fourth estate to prop up your lies as truth
As long as you look at ALL political events, statements, and policies through this lens you are more likely to stumble over the truth of the matter than anytime else.
