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?
Ahh. So Biden only attacked the right class of subhumans.
There’s the classic neoliberalism. The scale of human suffering is negligible, so long as it’s the right kind of humans.
Man, you miss the point so hard it feels intentional. I'm leaving this comment and peacing out. So, in case you can't see it, deporting people who are in the country illegally after a civil trial, is not the same as snatching American citizens off the street and deporting them with no due process.
Democrats suck. Republicans such way worse.
I get exactly the point you’re trying to make. You see the cruelty as excusable, as long as they do the proper paperwork. It’s the lack of respect for process that offends you. Not the thousands of lives ruined.
You just have such a fucked moral compass that you see this position as logical and in line with your worldview.
