Like, another one of their signature policy ideas is *denaturalization*, which is as flatly, no-exceptions unconstitutional as it is possible for a thing to be You don't propose such a thing if you planned to be constrained by law even slightly

Totally. And it's not even along a single line. Denaturalization is unconstitutional. Not close. Punishing and banning media companies who said mean things about you isn't legal. Muslim bans, for that matter, are flatly unconstitutional. And Presidents do not have general criminal immunity.

It is a bit of a different campaign than I recall his 2016 campaign being—in which the campaign itself would try to hew center and the candidate would barge in and fuck all that up. they're firing "lies and mass death" on all cylinders here.

Unfortunately not as flatly no-exceptions as it should be. What they're pointing to is the fact that we do, very rarely, "denaturalize" in cases of fraud, most notably some Nazi war criminals. They lied so it was never valid is the thinking. But not hard to imagine how easily that could be abused.
