Yeah because the ICE surge has nothing to do with deporting immigrants. It's about fear and control.

[-] Aeri@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I'm willing to accept that I may be completely wrong but isn't it better? Or what? Like, I personally am a cosmopolitan open borders absolutist I don't even think there should be a damn border for civilian purposes.

But if the state has decided people must be deported, is it not much worse to do it with a poorly trained army of goons than whatever we were doing before? I'm sorry gang, it's all kind of just an overflow of terribleness. I don't really think we should be deporting anyone unless they're actually really bad and need to be extradited to their home country to face justice.

Democrats are just as racist as the Republicans, they are just better at hiding it, just look at their bipartisan support for the border wall, ICE, and more.

Dems and others hate when you point out there only mad at trump for certain things because he doesn't do them with decorum or behind the scenes. He just announces it wildly as doing the terrible things most do behind the curtain.

Like Venezuela and Iran. Not mad at attacks on other countries out of nowhere, but upset it wasn't done after telling congress or letting congress say go for it

They know that doing it all in the open pushes us towards socialism. If we can see the strings, we can cut them

In 1992, Bill Clinton spoke from the mecca of American white supremacy to launch his "tough on crime" agenda.

Dems are the "good cop" to the republican "bad cop". They both want to fuck you over in the exact same way. One just pretends to be nice to you.

Rotating villain strategy

[-] procapra@lemmy.ml 53 points 3 days ago

No but you don't understand, suddenly now that the media is telling me how bad ICE is, I care about this. When a blue president is in office the media doesn't talk about it, so I just assume everything is okay again.

Not talking about things = progress!

without putting children into detention camps

Unfortunately this is not true. Obama's administration put families in detention camps and separated them. It was not used with such fervor, but it was wrong then, too

We protested this. There were court cases, and the Flores Settlement Agreement essentially ended the policy. But it took public outrage to enact change.

Most of the laws that are allowing trump to pull this immigration shit were passed by Democratic administrations. Bidens big strategy was to mock Trump for not deporting as many people as he did.

But yeah, is the leftists fault that brown people aren't voting for Democrats.

They're still courting the mythical "Republican centrist" that just needs a little push to vote Democrat. They've learned nothing.
