    Biden deported them without going to the legal process? Like I’m pro-immigration so I get it. But there’s a big difference from deporting people via the legal process. Versus picking up some guy who’s a US citizen who has a tattoo of his mom on his shoulder. Calling him a gang member and then sending him to some other country to a slave prison without due process.

    Neither Biden or Trump are good, but it’s really hard to argue that things would be just as bad today under Biden or Harris then they are under Trump. And Trump’s not even done with the first year of his second term.

          It’s not “moving the goal post.” We simply disagree. I oppose fascism in general. You only oppose it being extrajudicial.

            No, I oppose it generally. You just either don’t understand the arguments or are too dogmatic.

            I am willing to bet that if Trump had the military kill everyone who was more dark than a specific shade of white and then nuked California. Your opinion would still be that Biden and Trump are the same.

              That you have to invent a strawman proves my point. Their actual policies are about on par with each other. One is just closer to the fascism you’re familiar with.

                It’s not a straw man. It’s a hypothetical. Feel free to answer it when you want.

                Also, what do you mean about policies? If Trump didn’t change his policies and nuked California, would you then still say that Biden and Trump are equally as bad?

                    A hypothetical is not a straw man.

                    By virtue of you not addressing my two hypotheticals, I have now decided that you would respond to the nuking of California by Trump with both Biden and Trump are the same. Which is an insane position to have, which is probably why you’re not answering the hypotheticals in the first place. Because you know it’s insane, and yet you still hold that position.

                    I noticed you also dodged my question about policy versus outcomes.

                    It’s pretty clear that you don’t care and you’re just a troll or an idiot.

                    You’d be doing everyone a favor, scratch that, possibly saving some lives, by getting your jollies off on trolling something other than politics.

                    I see no further reason to reply on this thread.

                    Have a nice life.
