      biden was already illegally detaining and deporting immigrants. this is nothing new.

      my country received weekly planes filled with shackled people they deported back without explanation or their belongings. the concentration camps at the borders were a thing too.

      i also recall black vans abducting and dissappearing protesters in both the trump and biden terms.

      just because he wasnt boasting about it openly, doesnt mean it wasnt already fascism. you can’t vote fascism away, especially when the options presented are fascism and diet fascism.

        The concentration camps Trump set up his first term, then Biden had to spend his time trying to reel back and reconnect kids with their family but took waaay longer cause everything was so fucked up? Again, due to Republicans.

        Also, immigrants have been deported loooooong before Biden came to term. That’s been a forever thing, made easier by the patriot act, which was implemented by Bush, a republican.

        But again, this is about one side boasting about taking over 300 legal college age immigrants that spoke out against the current administration. And said side bragging about how it’s going to continue. All for speaking out against a genocide THAT YOUR SIDE APPARENTLY HOLDS IN SUCH HIGH REGARD.

        That has never happened under democrat reign. No white washing or lies you tell will make that true

          How come Republicans can break any laws they want and obstruct everything Democrats try to accomplish when they’re out of power, but Democrats are powerless to inhibit Trump even slightly?

            I know it’s just a meme, but that’s how it is. Meanwhile, democrats can’t do a single thing without half or more of the party getting up in arms

            Because MAGA and co are doing things that are unprecedented. And when democrats try to do anything, not only are they strong armed by MAGA, but the people thelat are supposedly on their side complain that it’s never good enough.

            It’s literally impossible for Democrats to win when one side hails one person as king and the other can’t even decide on who may possibly be good enough to think about doing the right thing

                Because we don’t have a messiah that we blindly follow regardless of the rules or how people feel.

                We tried to make it easy with “vote blue no matter who” but that still wasn’t enough for yall

                  If we had someone who was willing to do unprecedented things to fulfill their campaign promises I think we would follow them.

                  Instead, when Democrats win they are unable to do anything because of Republican obstruction, yet when Republicans win Democrats are unable to stop them. It’s literally impossible for Democrats to win when they aren’t even trying.

                  We tried to make it easy with “vote blue no matter who” but that still wasn’t enough for yall

                  You tried to make me vote for genocide. I’d rather kill myself, and I don’t mean that hypothetically. I’m trans. Republicans are going to kill me, and I’d rather fucking die than vote for more genocide. I don’t know how anyone could listen to Hind’s last words and say “yes I’ll vote for more of this” instead of thinking “I deserve to fucking die for supporting this demon country.”

                    So, as soon as a perfect candidate comes along you’ll vote for them? Congrats. You just proved everything i just said correct!

                    You know who doesn’t have to follow all their campain promises and can just do anything they feel like doing and their party still laps it up and asks for more? You’re never going to guess what I say

          again, the boasting does not matter in the grand scheme of things. and all the grandstanding, including pretending to be undoing the brutality of the concentration camps, is meaningless.

          Also, immigrants have been deported loooooong before Biden came to term.

          exactly what i mean, summed up. fascist country has always done fascist shit, and somehow the “heroes” try so hard but are always unable to undo it, while the fascists always get their way immediatly. i wonder why THAT is 🤔

          its almost like, again, you can’t vote fascism away.

            I really shouldn’t comment on this, but I just can’t help myself.

            FIXING THINGS IS HARDER THAN BREAKING THINGS!!!

            who woulda thunk it?!? I’d tell you to fuck off, but this is your instance so imma fuck off instead.

            and by that I mean I will block anyone who responds to this comment, no iffs ands nor butts.

              they should start trying then.

              why is a system that facilitates chaos and shuns attempts to fix it considered democratic at all?

              how the fuck do yall still think and act you live in a democracy.

            Because one side bands together and makes sure whatever their leader wants he gets, and the other side is not only fighting against dirty tactics from the opposition but can’t get the support from most of the people who hate the same opposition.

            One person on their side goes against what Trump wants and they’re publicly ridiculed. On the democrat side, no matter what the leader does it’s going to make most of the like minded people mad in some way and causes in fighting.

            You’re just continuing to make that a reality.

                News flash: to the people currently in power, anybody on the anti-MAGA side are together. Doesn’t matter if i was to yell vote Biden till my face turns blue and you want off yelling how XYZ candidate is actually the better choice.

                They will see the same thing. An enemy. So like it or not, unless your a boot licking facist, you’re on the same side as “diet facists”

                95% of those “diet facists” would fight for your rights, but you’re so hung up on like 5 bad apples that you threw away the whole bushel

                  Like when they voted for the Patriot Act?

                  Or when they flip floped into giving Trump what he wanted?

                  Or when they voted for Trump’s cabinet picks? Or when they agree with Republicans to gut Section 230?

                  Or when Harris said she’d follow the laws of transphobic states?

                  Or when Biden said to America “we need to fund the police” to bipartisan applause when America was protesting against police brutality and militarization?

                  Or when Obama, a constitutional lawyer said NSA’s spying wasn’t that bad? And had Snowden’s passport revoked?

                  Or when Obama and Biden didn’t rollback from Dubya’s and Trump’s invasions of rights? Or even Trump’s tax cuts?

                  Or when Biden had the CDC stop tracking COVID beacuse the numbers going down looked good?

                  Or when we still have kids in cages at the border?

                  Or when they bailed out the corporations for fucking over the lives of every American in 2008?

                  Or when Clinton pushed for Trump to be the RNC choice so she could fight him?
