A Gallup poll found the split between Republicans and Democrats about their satisfaction with the direction of the country was at its widest since 2001.
concentration camps for immigrants have been a thing since at least obama. remember “kids in cages”? remember how biden didn’t free them?
They were bad, now they’re worse. That’s ignoring the difference in scale too.
trump nearly doubled the DHS’s budget between 2017 and 2021, biden never decreased it. in fact, it kept increasing under him
Fair, but once again scale. Doubling a budget in 1 year is actually a lot different than doing it over 4 years.
instead we would have had legal kidnappings/deportations! much better ☺️
Umm yeah, the erosion of due proccess is scary as shit. A sitting US president is removing people from the country to random prisons elsewhere with no due proccess. Deportations are a problem, but the new issue is the dissolution of civil liberties that applies to everyone.
because regular police isn’t militarized and corrupt to hell anyways
Correct, but not the actual issue. Police, while horribly corrupt, have jurisdiction and are theoretically bound to the local government. The military does not have the legal authority to police US citizens. It’s a much bigger issue than militarized police.
chinese EVs anyone?
A handful of targeted tariffs are very common. Basically every nation does them. Once again scale. But I do hate how this benefited Elon.
i’ll give you that one
Worms for the worm god
Anyway, your comparisons lack the necessary depth. A lot of the new issues come down to scale and method. Cruelty has become the point. The law is being ignored in such a way that it suggests soon citizens will have no rights. That’s fucking scary and so so much worse than anything Biden did.
