This sounds exactly like the drivel the GOP supporters spout to make excuses. Y’all really don’t see how much alike you are, and it’s wild.
No, you are just incapable of of seeing that you aren't giving a good argument. You put up links that while they do show failings under democrat leadership, are not equivalents to the attrocities currently being committed.
I don't like either party. I'm not a republican or a democrat despite having to be registered under one of them because my state is lame af. If there was a better one with a real chance of winning, I'd be voting for that one. I freely admit that democrats are a fucking joke overall. But pretending that they are as bad or worse than the republican party is a really obtuse take.
Yeah, I’m familiar with this idiocy. I had to hear months of election propaganda about how a Democrat supported genocide was preferred to a Republican led genocide. And Democrat mass deportation is better than Republican mass deportation. Etc.
And I'm familiar with this nonsense of pointing at one problem and not looking at anything else so you can say "sEe bOtH sAmE".
I’m literally pointing to the exact same problems. You just only care when a Republican does it.
And I've acknowledged them and explained that while they are similar the issue of scale is still something you are ignoring. I care when both groups do it, but the argument was that republicans are worse. And they are because they do all the shit dems do AND more AND at a larger scale.
The point is you’re not considering the actual, literal scale. You’re judging by how it feels.
Biden deported 250% more people than Trump’s first term. Stephen Miller recently went out a shouting rant at ICE heads for barely keeping pace with Biden’s numbers.
So no, you don’t care about the actual scale. You care about the scale of how intensely the media reporting makes you feel about it. There’s nothing mathematical about it. There’s no measurement. Which is why you don’t care when it’s a Democrat.
How many legal American citizens did Biden deport without habeus corpus?
