The dem version of this was building cages at the border, increasing ICE funding, and normalizing the insane anti immigrant rhetoric starting with “Deporter in Chief” Obama. Now, liberals hand over the rein It’s like volleyball, man. Bump, set, spike.
Quick, all “Both sides are equally bad” people, can you show me the Democrat version of this?

To be fair, the Trump admin has ramped the dehumanization and blatant mid day murder and torture. I wasn’t old enough to pay attention to politics in most of the Obama admin so I don’t by heart if it was on the same level, but I agree, the Obama admin objectively isn’t innocent in a multitude of ways.

Not to defend these actions but I do think they were less picked up upon by the media (which isn’t great, but). There was pushback to Obama and co but it was fringe. Nowadays abolish ice is becoming a more mainstream position even among a lot of liberals

It was absolutely not on the same level at all, and anyone who claims it was is misremembering

The ACLU and other orgs sued Obama’s DHS multiple times. I think the media was too busy with the financial crisis, terrorism/wars, etc

Yeah there was a lot of pushback, it was just more fringe because there was other stuff that the media focused on. It doesn’t excuse anything but I do think that for a lot of people this is the first time they’re hearing about ice’s human rights abuses.

I was asked to provide the democrat version and I did so. They’ve always been more tactful
