Okay but I wasn’t required to go back 200 years to find an example…
Are you saying we didn’t have a president in 1954?
At this point I am fairly certain you are a troll and I am tagging you as such. Good day.
Nobody who has replied to you has defended Trump. We have all been trying to point out that this idea that nobody has tried to violate rights until Trump is laughable. Rounding people up is a favorite pastime of white people in this country. This time is only different because people who consider themselves white are being targeted too. Suggesting that that makes this time worse is part of what got you downvoted.
Jesus christ dude, you’re really insufferable.
Ever heard of Barack Obama? 2009 winner. During his terms to 2017, ordered 1,878 drone strikes. Unknown number of innocent people killed. 2017 was 8 years ago.
God that's bleak. Our best, and he's still nearly indistinguishable from giving George W. Bush a third and fourth term.
Yeah, yeah, he only doubled down on detaining and torturing without trial, dragged the Afghanistan war/occupation on for another decade, and posthumously reclassified civilian drone-strike deaths as "combatants".
A million times a negative is still a negative.
Correct, the deporter-in-chief legitimized that barbarism and expanded on it.
Did he? Cus it kinda seems like he kept all the "barbaric" tools on the table, used quite a few of them himself, and now we're left with Trump handling all of them. You consider that a positive direction?
