Trans people have their passports editted.

They only just got the right to corrected passports under Biden, and he was barely willing to enforce it. No prior liberal administration gave a shit about Trans people.

Black and brown people are being disappeared off the streets based on racial profiling, without judicial warrants and who knows what is being done to them.

Happening for literally centuries. FFS, look up the history of Sandra Bland and Tamir Rice. Both executed during the Obama Administration by local police. This, six and seven years respectively, after the "Obama Beer Summit" that was supposed to kick off something resembling a national reform effort.

Social programs such as medicaid that keep millions alive are being gutted

Under Nixon, under Carter, under Reagan, under Clinton... I'll spot you this. The PPACA was arguably the biggest reversal of the trend. But because liberals were more wedded to budget math than popular politics, they failed to expand the program into conservative states quickly. So now its that much easier for a Red President to yank it back from blue residents.

Incidentally, what have California and New York and Massachusetts - states with enormous budgets and vast pools of skilled labor - done to close up the gap again? Neoliberal privatization of the New Deal has been half the math on these cuts going back to the Tip O'Neal era.

I mean I could go on and on.

And you'd still only tell half the story. This is "War on Terror" politics all over again. It's the Drug War. It's the Red Scare. Republicans kick off a national security hysteria. Democrats modernize it, so fewer middle class white people get caught in the dragnet. All the Coke You Can Snort for Ivy Leaguers like Clinton and Obama. 60 months in jail for Keith Jackson, because Bush Sr needed a photo-op.

This isn't new. Operation Wetback, the 1968 police beating outside the Democratic National Convention, the shooting of antiwar protesters at Kent State, the assassination of Harvey Milk, the MOVE bombing, Iran-Contra, the Rodney King riots, The Brooks Brothers Riots that stole a Presidential Election, the opening of Guantanamo Bay and the Middle Eastern Black Sites after 9/11, Iraq War protests and arrests and beatings, Occupy Protests and the mass arrests and beatings, Ferguson and Baltimore, January 6th... none of this is new.

Every one of them was facilitated or ignored by a host of liberal politicians. None of them were prosecuted. We got no Truth and Reconciliation Committees. We always and forever look "forward" as we walk backward into the abyss.
