    Again, your only recourse is “Trump did it too” that’s what I’m saying, jesus fucking christ. They’re not staving off fascism, they’re taking turns ramping it up in different places. When it comes to migrants and foreigners, their policies are the same; sometimes they change tactics or optics, but the end goal remains unchanged. You’re hammering home the same point while saying it proves that democrats are much better. No they fucking ain’t.

    it was not due to a more hostile border policy, but rather an increase in the number of people actually showing up at the border in the first place.

    So… it’s okay because he was doing what Trump was doing, but a little less per migrant? There is, then, an acceptable rate of people in concentration camps, Trump was just a bit too loose with it.

    I don’t give a single shit if they’re 10% worse for gringos, they’re just as bad and in a lot of ways much worse for the rest of the world. It was Biden who pushed the doomsday clock closest to midnight than it’d been since the cuban missile crisis. It was Obama who ramped up the drone bombing campaign, it was Clinton who ordered Gaddafi killed, it was Biden who drafted the 90s crime bill that made the US the most incarcerated population in the entire world.

    Matter of fact, whenever something got incredibly shitty for US citizens, you can flip a coin on whether it was Reagan who did it or Jim Crow Joe.
