Can we please stop using the ‘kids in cages’ line to act like ice has been equivalently evil and harmful for the last decade plus? It just prevents useful conversations about the real changes that have happened under trump; the nation wide revulsion around ice isn’t purely because of identity politics
No fr. They were like ‘oh well we know what Biden and Kamala are about and don’t like it, maybe trump will be better’ as if he wasn’t the president less than 4 years ago and constantly spewing the same hateful rhetoric the entire time he was out of power. Why in the fresh fuck would he be better this time around?
Honestly yall probably could’ve came to an understanding if yall were so interested in making the democrats look good Ice sucks either way. It doesn’t matter that democrats funded kids in cages. It doesn’t matter than republicans are reintroducing slave patrols. What matters is all of this shit is awful and all of can agree it needs to stop. Regardless of who is at all Nothing gets done with all this fingerpoibting
Wym? Idgaf to make democrats look good, nor could I if I tried. My point is that the issues with ice under Biden vs the issues with ice under trump are distinctly different issues with different causes. We should consider that nuance because “both sides bad / all government bad” just isn’t a very useful statement if we wanna fix these issues
