    This is an interadministrational problem. DHS and ICE were created two decades ago and have been overseen by both Democratic and Republican executive administrations and congressional legislatures.

    This is what they agree on, this is the plan. You are in a pincer movement.

      The Democrats overseeing and agreeing to what DHS and ICE were doing in the past is a problem. Nobody disagree with that.

      You cannot claim that they are also in favor of what they’re doing now under trump in good faith. It’s both sides bullshit and just completely fucking wrong and only exists to sow division.

      Two thoughts can exist on someone at the same time. The death of nuance is the death of the country

        The Democrats have gone out of their way plenty to chill dissent and actively expand the police state, but let’s see how this budget discussion goes. Besides their own nefarious actions abroad with the wars and persecution of journalists and whistleblowers and whatnot, I see the myriad of inventive ways the Democrats use to “steal defeat from the jaws of victory”, and this forms a clear composite picture of deliberate collaboration. That could change, but right now I see both political parties playing “good cop/bad cop”, both political parties intent on normalizing paramilitary secret police in the streets.
