They can't, no.
This is the root of the problem. Liberals are just as xenophobic and anti-Islam as their conservative peers. They are ultimately fine with Trump's policies and more than willing to go along with them, when the policies target brown people.
That's why you've got Gavin Newsom, Kathy Hochul, and even Gretchen Whitmer opening their state bureaucracies up to Trump's DHS gestapo.
The "you stupid Arabs deserve what you get" rhetoric is justification for policy Democrats wanted, but were too squeemish to impose directly.
Republicans are the sword and Democrats are the shield in this Holy War on non-Christians.
