Hey OP, you wanna go ahead and go to any neighborhood that's been raided by ICE and tell them how the Dems are exactly just as bad as the GOP?

Hell, go tell a bunch of drag queens and trans people.

While you're at it, go find some under aged girls who've been impregnated by adult men and tell them the Dems are just as bad as the GOP.

I'm sure it'll resonate with all of them /s

Hey hypocrite.
Want to tell all the deported and kids in cages under Genocide Joe how that was much better?
Or that bombing brown people everywhere in the world, droning weddings or aiding genocide of Palestinians is better bcs it's under those Dems who have those famous 'democratic values' they're always crying about?
Just say it like it is, libs only care about themselves.
You all didn't give a fuck about what you did to the world since forever.
And you probably also don't give a fuck about trans people either.
The problem is now the fascism you supported has come home, and the libs don't like the taste of their own medicine.
That's ALL that bothering you.

Enjoy your karma, hope you get a lot of it.

Hey OP, you wanna go ahead and go to any neighborhood that’s been raided by ICE and tell them how the Dems are exactly just as bad as the GOP?

I'll tell you.

This shit was already happening. Yes, it's taken another step under Trump, but the incrementalism occurred with Democratic fascists as well. What Trump is able to do now would be impossible if Democrats hadn't seized on the illegal powers dreamed up by Clinton and Dubya and ran with them.

Clinton, while fucking his interns, invented 'Don't Ask Don't Tell' and did nothing about persecution of gay people, and in fact, he was the one who signed DOMA. He invented "peacekeeping actions" so he could make war without calling it that, and he did just that. He cut the social safety net wholesale, making Americans poorer, and doubled down on poverty with his 'free trade' policies that helped usher in the era of companies moving offshore and killing US jobs. Oh, and he was a regular on Epstein's island and the Lolita Express.

Obama let police run roughshod in Ferguson and New York City, brutalizing victims of police violence and people who lost their homes and decided to participate in Occupy. He appointed Tom Homan and put kids in cages. He made torture explicitly extra-legal. He walked into Flint and performatively drank a glass of water. He dropped 26,000 bombs in the last year of his presidency and left office with American wars brewing in seven countries. We also learned under Obama that police departments in the US have black sites and his presidency was ~~kidnapping~~ renditioning people to black sites in foreign countries. He also ordered drone bombings that killed American citizens.

We knew Biden was going to be shit when, in a time people wanted federal police reform, he mocked the change people wanted in his State of the Union address by calling for greater police militarization, and his presidency gave rise to 'cop cities'. Even worse, it's now possible for cops to hang out in a school that's getting shot up, on camera, with zero consequences. After January 6 he did nothing meaningful to slow the evident rise of domestic fascism, showing a greater interest in keeping his scumbag son out of prison. He deported undocumented immigrants by the millions and continued the policy of caging kids. Biden earned the moniker 'Genocide Joe' for aiding and abetting the genocide in Israel, even when Israel escalated it into a manufactured famine, which is a war crime. Then he ran for president knowing he had dementia, paving the way for Trump's second term, prioritizing his own ego over the country's well-being.

This isn't a 'Democrats are better' scenario. Most people just haven't really paid attention to what Democrats do or have the short-term memory of a goldfish.

And before you try to argue they were powerless, consider that all three of these men had the presidency and control of Congress, just like Trump. They had all the power they needed to make real change. They just didn't care.

"This is the problem with you Amerikkkan imperialists, you only care about your own people and don't give a shit about anyone outside your country"

~(a paraphrase of) an actual reply I got one time when I shared this sentiment

That would be me, and it is truth

Those neighborhoors will tell you that ICE had been around since 2002 and while happy you're finally getting with the program, despite the current administration's best attempts, 2012 was the worst year so far right after the democrats had their governmental trifecta and with the dreamers bait and switch.

So yes, while different flavors, they have been equally bad.

go tell a bunch of drag queens and trans people.

Republicans despise them, Democrats love to use them. That isn't necessarily better.

go find some under aged girls who've been impregnated by adult men and tell them the Dems are just as bad as the GOP.

Fucking yes, the big Epstein reveal is that it's all of them. The Trumps and the Clinton's.

It's relieving to see common sense on the internet, have upvote. It's very interesting how the uniparty seems to get majority vote every single election.
