Bummed out by the election results, liberals are turning off the news and tuning out politics. This will only help Trump in his mass deportations and other actions liberals claim to deplore.

Alas “claim” is the operative word here.
Provided the right wing even actually implements their internet fantasies at any scale, they will only deign to notice if one of two things happens, and not one moment sooner:
(1) The deportations are not orderly enough, and the “wrong kind” of “wrong people” get deported willy-nilly. I’m not talking morals here or even aesthetics of orderliness, merely that uncertainty will make it hard for businesses to plan ahead.
(2) Their own nannies, nurses, au-pairs, gardeners, butlers/person sent through alfred the app fail to turn up for work.
