> I’ve heard, many times going back 20+ years, “they should just mine the border”. Kilmeade’s comment about just killing homeless people who wouldn’t accept aid (who cares why they don’t, I guess)? I’ve heard it, that’s not new, what’s new is people that prominent saying it.

Yeah, people who think Trump is far right don't have a clue where the actual far right is. A large amount of what Trump is doing boils down to a simple "enforce the current law", he just has to use executive orders to get it done because of insane resistance from people who have been flouting the law for decades. Trump is a moderate response to the issues, not a far right one, and has attracted the disaffected middle in addition to the people on the far right who see him as finally a step in the right direction.
