“Our base is generally not wealthy and they’re not doing well. They’re struggling. If you take away immigration — if they don’t believe he means it — holy cow, that’s not good.”
I.e., many in our base are uneducated and economically struggling. Alll they have going for them is their need to feel superior to someone different from (and, usually, darker than) themselves.

"Trump has employed the chaos strategy for years, doing so many awful things all at once so his political opponents can’t craft a message to address it all or successfully organize to stop his obvious wrongs.
But it’s especially terrifying now, as the strategy is an effort to get away with literal murder, financial heist, and election rigging."

"The administration is appealing to the MAGA racist and Christian nationalist base by demonstrating that it is willing to violate the Constitution to impose MAGA’s ideology on the nation. But it is also apparently trying to signal to white American citizens that they should think they are safe from an authoritarian administration: its top victims remain Black Americans and people of color."
