In a social media post sent late on Thanksgiving, US president said he would ‘end all federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens’ following Washington DC shooting

No one is promoting defeatism, I think you might have a habit of assuming questions are rhetorical when they aren’t.
The question is that of organization. Just saying to organize isn’t an answer. How do you organize millions of people?
