Worth noting I encountered these liberal apologists within MONTHS of Biden taking office. The very day it came to light that he was opening even more concentration camps, there were liberal Democrats crawling all over reddit, tumblr, and twitter to explain why this was good ackshually.
Side note: Never listen when they say “now’s not the time to talk about this in an election year.” That’s a red flag that alerts you that you can safely discard anything else they say after that. They were saying that already in 2021.
I recall several times I went looking for news about the concentration camps at/for the southern border, even posted a few times in various places asking what was up, why they weren’t being talked about any more. Fuckin’ weird to me that “we” will collectively just forget about people (including kids, for those who value them more) dying in cages because “we” put them there. It’s not a fun topic, sure, but if we’re gonna be caring about things or pretending we do then that’s a pretty good one.
The glaringly obvious fact that Joe is a murderous pile of crap doesn’t make Donald any better… but it’s still true. The absolute least one can do is acknowledge evil for what it is, no?
It’s not a fun topic but we talked about it a lot during the Trump years.
The only response the Democratic Party has to criticism, for years now, is “what are you going to do about it, vote Republican?”
I literally demonstrated about it next to people who immediately turned anti-immigrant once Biden was elected. Partisan politics is a helluva drug.
